Dan Kennedy (McSweeneys.net, Loser Goes First) reads and signs his new book "Rock On: An Office Power Ballad" (Algonquin) at Bookpeople at 3:00PM. "A delirious evocation of the love/hate relationship virtually my whole generation has had with the music industry. The rest of us may have dreamed it, but Dan Kennedy actually lived it out in the trenches. The results aren't pretty, but luckily for him, and us, they are hilarious."—Todd Hanson, editor of The Onion: America's Finest News Source "Dan Kennedy is a very funny human-being and a very funny writer and this is a very funny book. It's also quite subtly wise about the absurdity of life and the dreams we cook up." —Jonathan Ames, author of Wake Up, Sir! "Dan Kennedy is the laugh-out-loud Proust of American post-youth strivers. In Rock On he cements his status as master of the hysterical inner monologue, laying bare the music biz with an effortless, beyond-hip immediacy that is impossible to resist."—Jerry Stahl, author of I, Fatty

Essential Cinema: BEAUFORT

Type:
“In a small enclave, an isolated cage in the heart of enemy territory, in the backyard of a magnificent ancient Crusader fortress, stands the Beaufort outpost. Beaufort personified the most disputed of Israel’s wars and was a symbol of Israeli control in Lebanon, but it was also a myth of heroism upon which generations were raised and for which many lost their lives. There, on the mountain top, completely cut off from anything familiar, was a boy-soldier’s state – with its own rules and colorful language, where fear reigned but youthful innocence and happiness too had a hold.” On May 24, 2000 the outpost was demolished under orders of the Israeli military command and the retreat began.
