"So You Wanna Be A Rock & Roll Star?"
I read this great book written by the drummer of Semisonic, Jacob Shlicter
LINK Semisonic gave us the hit "Closing Time" in the late 90s and this book is a great diary on the difficulties with the modern music industry and how this band struggled, had a hit and then put out another album which didn't fit one genre and wasn't played, and then were dropped from their recording contract. The book is funny and very interesting. I highly recommend it.
