Book Description
What child hasn't dreamed of being a rock star? With this handbook, young musicians can work toward that dream. Written by a musician who started his first rock group in the seventh grade, it shows kids how to turn a couple of talented friends, a set of drums, and inspiration into a band; how to get their big break; even how to stay friends with their bandmates when conflicts arise -- all the practical information wannabe rockers need to find fame and fortune. The book profiles 20 young musicians and bands. He wanted to make it on his own so he toured for years without telling anyone -- even his band, the Wallflowers -- that his father was Bob Dylan.

Review

"Lonn lives where the reckless heart of rock still thunders in your chest. No one else can throw a literary dinner party where Henry Miller sits side by side with Kurt Cobain and Jon Bon Jovi. That's Lonn's planet, and that's his vivid personality. Soulful and rowdy and always hilarious, Life on Planet Rock reminds you why you ever turned it up, all the way up."
-Cameron Crowe

From Library Journal
An entertainment lawyer whose clients include many from the top of the music charts, Passman has written a book that sets out to give musicians, performers, and songwriters the tools to hire advisers, market their careers, protect their creative works, and generally cope with a complex industry in a state of flux. Passman explains boilerplate language, the complexities of royalties and advances, and label and distribution deals; a section on record deals begins with an overview of the business and works through all the steps. The "Adventures in Cyberspace" chapter is a helpful summary of the way CD-ROMs and the Internet are affecting the business. Included here is information on recent legislation and a look at how digitizing music delivery will continue to change things. Packed with illustrations, sample calculations, and definitions, All You Need To Know is humorous and accessible enough for those who just want to understand the business while being detailed and documented enough for those who make a living from it.
