I just picked up this book by Richard Barone of the band The Bongos called Frontman; Surviving the Rock Star Myth.  I picked it up at Winston Smith Books in Auburn today on our date day.  C. caught me browsing my new find during a break in our wandering around the town:

No, silly, Barone.  BARONE!       

Actually, Richard Barone looks ever so slightly like a younger Richard Belzer:

Seriously though, I'm always surprised Barone is not better known.  He has worked with/palled around with the likes of these folks (all in his book):

Lou Reed
Debbie Harry
David Johnanson
Donovan
Dave Stewart
Quincy Jones
Bea Arthur
Nancy Sinatra
Paul Williams
Moby
Tony Visconti

Excellent! I love this book as well as Circe.

I just finished The Sentence by Louise Erdrich. I recommend it. If you are an Erdrich fan, the writing is the caliber of The Painted Drum.

I am almost done with a book called WILDWOOD.

The writing is superb.
How I found out about his book -- I was teaching a stop motion video class on zoom over the summer and fell in love with LAIKA studios films -- Box trolls, Coraline, Kubo, etc... watching all the behind the scenes on how these movies are made. Absolutely fascinating.
Anyway, their upcoming project was recently announced to be a stop motion film from th book WILDWOOD. So I purchased it and am reading it aloud to my six year old son. I was so intrigued by the writer that I looked him up- Colin Meloy. He's the lead singer of famed band The Decemberists.

Actually, Dave read it to me (Audible) while I was turning the actual pages. It was fun! Some of Dave's stories could easily be transferred to the big screen Good stuff, plus PJ are mentioned a lot in there

Lol, I would love to -- I'm not sure if I drink enough to get back in the mind of Jonny Bails these days though.
I kid... I have two unrelated novels in the works right now, but once they're completed, I was thinking of doing a short story Jonny Bails follow-up... just to see where it goes. Maybe, just maybe, that could develop into something.

Woot!
