    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!  :lol:     
    Actually, Richard Barone looks ever so slightly like a younger Richard Belzer:
    The Bongos39 Richard Barone returns to his roots with new album on Bar None Records - njcom

    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

    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.

    Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)

    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 :wink: Good stuff, plus PJ are mentioned a lot in there :smiley:

    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. :D
    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.
