Rent Checker and the Derailleurs

The author perfectly captures my experience of the inane self absorption of the young and musically gifted, where the rude and loud are celebrated and the nice exploited. It would have been a great subject for satire but it turned out not to be that kind of book.Maybe I didnt get far enough. After about the fifth disk, when the glassblowing woman, in a rare amiable moment has a hearttoheart with Checker and shares the revelation that everybodys dad dies and everyone originally comes out of a woman, I couldnt bear it any more.If youve always wondered what it would have been like to hang out with a rock band in the 1980s, this is your book.
