**This event will be recorded live for release as an Apple iTunes Music Store Podcast**

Live! Onstage! Author, GQ Contributor, Moth host, and long-standing McSweeneys.net funny-man...

Dan Kennedy in conversation with The Moth’s Executive & Creative Director, Lea Thau. Don't miss what promises to be a hilarious and insightful live reading and discussion of his new book ROCK ON: An Office Power Ballad.

The New York Times Book Review hails ROCK ON as “A succession of gently mordant vignettes, with hilariously spot-on asides about media image-making, music-biz hierarchies and sensitive singer-songwriters.”

When Dan Kennedy is hired by a major record label in 2002, he thinks he's chanced upon a dream job in the world of full-blown gonzo rock and roll excess that has pockmarked his dreams ever since he was a suburban Southern California teen. The sobering reality: he's basically walked into a nine-to-five world that's equal parts Spinal Tap and The Office. Dan Kennedy onstage and in conversation with Lea Thau, brought to you by Apple and iTunes.
