A fixture at McSweeneys.net, New York based humorist Dan Kennedy ventures into the brick-and-mortar world to read from his new book "Rock On", which chronicles his painfully funny misadventures of trying to fit into the square, nine-to-five world of a record company (Pssst: Atlantic) headquarters in New York City.

"A delirious evocation of the love/hate relationship virtually my whole generation has had with the music industry. The rest of us may have dreamed it, but Dan Kennedy actually lived it out in the trenches. The results aren't pretty, but luckily for him, and us, they are hilarious."—Todd Hanson, editor, The Onion: America's Finest News Source

"Dan Kennedy is the laugh-out-loud Proust of American post-youth strivers. In Rock On he cements his status as master of the hysterical inner monologue, laying bare the music biz with an effortless, beyond-hip immediacy that is impossible to resist."—Jerry Stahl, author of I, Fatty
