Legendary garage surf goofs the Phantom Surfers have drawn upon 20 years of experience and observation to provide the inside dope on the dopes of the world of rock: sound people, managers, booking agents, record labels, other musicians, and every weasel, shark, and thieving magpie in the music industry menagerie. Although this is indeed a riotously funny work, it contains a great deal of truth and wisdom. Consider these true stories: We know of a young lady who received an advance copy of Rock Stardom for Dumbshits and immediately abandoned her futile hopes of achieving rock stardom. Today she is a doctor with a lakeside home and two lovely children. We know of a young man who was never exposed to the naked truths contained in this book and therefore kept slogging away in hopes of achieving stardom. Today he has a heroin habit and lives in a van that will soon be repossessed. Whic

This is what I like about it: the format is easy to follow, it is easy to understand, and it is not packed with a bunch of senseless formulas designed to impress or frustrate the reader. One of the best little investments I have made to see her happy doing this coloring and seeing her feeling proud of her finished pictures.. King mentioned that after some reflection, he realized there was a gap between Wizard and Glass and Wolves of the Calla, and has referred to this novel as "Dark Tower 4 ½." Let's go back in time a bit. With Needell's fascinating study The Party of Order, it is both. I was only dissappointed that she implicitly seems to argue that the old male-oriented structures in the workplace be revamped to allow room for women at work, rather than offering a completely "new" model of wo
