"Writer, musician, manager, gadabout, and cool-guy raconteur..." New Times
"This obsessive, smart-ass, and at times uproarious collection... [has] nothing to do with commercial success. If (it) did, '...probably the eighth greatest band name ever would be Celine Dion, and we'd all know the Book of Revelations was kicking full effect.'"
Failure magazine "book" review of Battle of The Band Names
"His explication of why white America hasn't clasped Michael Jackson to its bosom as tightly as it has Bruce Springsteen [in another publication] was the most provocative, insightful, and prolix piece of writing I've read since Lester Bangs' famous piece on wanting to do James Taylor grievous bodily harm. . .
His condemnation of Woodstock a few issues back made me cackle aloud with delight."
Creem
"The book is paperback, although it's one of those nicer, thick-paged paperbacks, and it's 252 pages."
