Did You Read That: Rock On: An Office Power Ballad by Dan Kennedy

Rock On: Office Power Ballad

With Rock On Mr. Kennedy gives the reader an insiders peek to his rapid ascension to middle management during the downward spiral of the corporate music industry. This book humorously walks the halls with rock and roll icon's and mangers mistaken for band members. Kennedy at the table of large board meetings, wonder if he has overplayed his hand and will be discovered as the fraud he perceives himself to be. He also desperately seeks the approval of a famous rapper in hopes of fitting in with his crew.

The book is full of familiar Artist ( none of which are painted in a too bad light) and Executive "Characters" who's wants, needs, and request would seem ludicrous to a reasonable person has not spent the last 30 years getting paid 7 figure income and feeding off the ideas and essence of the "below the line people".

If you have had a job, you will find humor in this book. If you have had a job in the music industry you will find this book hysterical. And if you actually know some of the characters in this book like I do, you will find new nicknames for your friends.

      Do You Remember Rock & Roll?

      If not, let the Alabama Shakes remind you. They’re selling out shows across the country and their debut album isn’t even out for another couple months. I managed to see these blues-infused soul grabbers play a jam packed show at the Indy in San Francisco last night. Best overpriced scalped ticket I ever bought! Don’t [...]

      Oh, hey there, East Coast! Looks like you had a bit of an earthquake, huh? Don’t worry, I’m not gonna razz you about it. You’re ill-equipped for the tremors. A big quake would be way more catastrophic there than it would be here. You’re right to be a little jumpy about it. Well, I’m no [...]

      Did You Hear That: Adele “21″ a brief review

      From the first beat of “Rolling in the Deep,” the first track on Adele’s new album, “21”, it is clear that even at such a young age (all of 22 now), singer/songwriter Adele continues to be a force stronger than she may know. As “21” dips into the style of the country South with a [...]

      So Sayeth Pam: The Raveonettes “Forget That You’re Young”

      I like a young American band that makes vintage-sounding reverbalicious melodies. Specifically if those bands are Crystal Stilts, Vivian Girls or Dum Dum Girls. Call me a nationalist but I just happen to prefer their take on fuzz pop to that of their Danish predecessors, the Raveonettes. Which is not to say I dislike the [...]
