Never Mind The Pollacks by Neal Pollack
I don't know how long Neal Pollack can keep inserting a version of himself as the main character in his books , but this was the funniest book I have read in a long time. It is an alternative history of rock told through the story of the world's greatest rock critic ... Neal Pollack. There's drugs , guns , sodomy all the things that make for a light read. Along the way he meets Elvis , Jerry Lee, The Stones, Bowie , Iggy and many punk geniuses. I had a unique perspective on this book because I had just finished reading Flowers in the Dustbin by James Miller a critical history of rock , so I think that helped me get all the jokes .Check it out , it rocks.
