I know how it feels to work your tail off on a book and have it come out at last. Dunno about you, but I take issue with the book critic's phrase, "fake rock n' roll'. All rock n' roll is inauthentic--that's the whole point! Think Dylan cared if he was being 'real'? Hell no--he used 'realness' as a mask. Even sincerity has to take the form of a pose in order to become art. Otherwise, it's just plain old life. Hope you guys are enjoying the house! Congrats to your friend.

Dunno about you, but I take issue with the book critic’s phrase, “fake rock n’ roll’. All rock n’ roll is inauthentic–that’s the whole point! Think Dylan cared if he was being ‘real’? Hell no–he used ‘realness’ as a mask. Even sincerity has to take the form of a pose in order to become art. Otherwise, it’s just plain old life.

Hope you guys are enjoying the house!
