Writers & Readers: Steve Almond
$5/FREE FOR MEMBERS
A reading and performance for the launch of Steve Almond's new book, Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life.
Drooling fanatic: (def.) 1. One who drools in the presence of beloved rock stars.
2. Any of a genus of rock-n-roll wannabes/geeks who walk around with songs ringing in their ears, own more than 3000 albums at all times, and fall in love with at least one record per week.
With a life that’s spanned from the Phonographic Era to the Digital Age, Steve Almond lives to Rock. Like you, he’s secretly longed for the life of a rock star, complete with insane talent, famous friends, and hotel rooms to be trashed. Also like you, he’s (sort of) content to live the life of a rabid fan, a drooling fanatic, who has converted his unrequited desires into a noble obsession.
Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life traces Almond’s passion from his earliest (and most wretched) rock criticism to his eventual discovery of a Drooling Fanatic soul mate and subsequent production of two little super fans. Along the way, Almond reflects on the delusional power of songs, the awkward mating habits of drooling fanatics, and why Depression Songs actually make us feel so much better.
