Ian Christe's The VAN HALEN Saga In MySpace's Featured BooksIan Christe (author of Sound Of The Beast and host on Sirius Satellite Radio's
Hard Attack and
Buzzsaw) has issued the following update:
"This week the Book section editors (huh?) at MySpace are spotlighting my book Everybody Wants Some: The
VAN HALEN Saga. So is this how
JOB FOR A COWBOY and
ARCTIC MONKEYS got started? Though it's a big deal for bands, I have a feeling being a featured author on MySpace is more like a modern-day equivalent of being poet laureate of Penthouse...
But if just one MySpace-addicted silver-lipsticked teen stripper from Florida reads my book instead of clicking a link to hook up with a potentially murderous stalker from Pennsylvania - IT'S ALL WORTH IT!!!
Follow the Books tabs hidden around MySpace and you can't miss their just-the-facts review: 'After over twenty years of false starts and near misses, Van Halen is back on tour with original singer David Lee Roth at the microphone. The tour is a commercial and critical success, and it's also perfectly timed to the release of a comprehensive new Van Halen biography...'
Here's the
link. And I've posted some other reviews from the Village Voice, the Boston Phoenix, the Los Angeles Times, and a link to a sample chapter at this
location.
Beast wishes, happy trails, and thanks for checking out this entertaining book about Van Halen's funny, sad, and surprising tale...still unfolding before our naked, steaming eyeballs."
