Laughing To Stop From Crying

Dan Kennedy's book, Rock On (Algonquin) will be the first of many books on the follies of the Record biz as it struggles with the Internet age. Kennedy doesn't dwell much on the industries failings, he's more a bemused observer as was his stint at Atlantic records as a "Director of Creative Development". Which basically meant trying to make something of a Fat Joe or Jewel recording. Kennedy's tome is more humorous than what we're likely to get from future musings on the sorry state of Record Companies. Consider this the laugh before the inevitable sad ending.
