Questions & Comments
Veteran rock chronicler Dave Marsh has teamed up with Kathi Kamen Goldmark, the founder of the Rock Bottom Remainders -- a group of literary giants who perform in their own rock band -- to look at the humorous side of rock. From guitar players to bass players, drummers to horn players, Marsh and Goldmark go for the musical jugular with biting zingers such as:

- --His personality
- What has three legs and a dick?
- --A drum stool
- What do you call a bass player's index finger?
- --His handkerchief
- What is the least-used sentence in the English language?
- --Is that the banjo player's Porsche?
- On Halloween, Marilyn Manson's parents sent him out as-is.
- What do you call ten thousand lesbians with automatic rifles?
- --Militia Etheridge
- What do you get when you play new age music backwards?
- --New age music
- Why is a concert-promoter like sperm?
- --Each has a one-in-a-million change of being a human being
- How do you get a record company executive geek out of a tree?
- --Cut the rope
