Stephen King Fans discussion

As we all know King is in a band.. and he and the other band members wrote this book about their experiences in the band. I still wish I could've seen them perform. Here is the book description:

"In 1992, a cadre of the world’s bestselling authors formed a rock band called the Rock Bottom Remainders. For two decades the band played proudly (and some would say, terribly) to sold out crowds across the country. Now they’re hanging up their guitar picks, drumsticks and leather whips, but not without a look back at twenty years of friendship, love, writing, and the redemptive power of rock ’n’ roll.

Hard Listening is a voyeuristic view into the private lives of your favorite authors, combining essays, fiction, musings, candid email exchanges and conversations, compromising photographs, audio and video clips, and interactive quizzes for a groundbreaking ebook experience. See Stephen King, Scott Turow, Amy Tan, Dave and Sam Barry, Roy Blount Jr., Mitch Albom, James McBride, Ridley Pearson, Matt Groening, Greg Iles, and rock legend Roger McGuinn at their most unguarded."

Also there is a cool contest going on over at Huffington Post... guess which story was by King (from this book). Answer will be up tomorrow!!

Read a review a while back and it instantly went on my wish list.

Sounds fun! Yet another to add to my collection!

This book sounds so interesting. I had no idea Steven King was in a band. I can't wait to read this book!

Love SK! This book sounds awesome!

Proof that SK was in a band......I took these all myself in 2001. I would venture a guess that he hasn't been on stage with these guys a half dozen times since.

How exciting, this is a cool giveaway and I'm glad they are putting this on. It sounds like a fun book.

I am so jealous of you!!!!!!! Love these pictures!! And it was in Colorado!

It was a great night.....Steve Miller was suppose to be the guest for that night but he did not show up....We waited about 3 hours for the gates to open and ran down in front on the left side where Steve usually positions himself. We were about 3-5 feet from Steve. He was holding the mic out so we could sign lyrics on Werewolves of London.

Also being that close you could really tell when he hit a bad note. Ond time he got so lost on a song he actually left the stage for a few minutes! Anyway it was a great time. They had a VIP concert the night before. You could meet and talk with Steve and he would sign whatever you had.....I wanted to go but the tickets were $500! However if I had it to do over........

Awesome giveaway! Good luck everyone :)

Great...besides collecting (and reading) all written SK-stuff, I now have to look for all the music/video bits as well...a new summer project... ;)

Would love to read this. What a collection of writers!

good luck guys!

very interesting. Will join in now :)

I've read the Huff Post excerpts. Some very talented authors, many of whom have been on my reading list in the past. Stephen is in good company!

I have read
Mid-life Confidential: The Rock Bottom Remainders Tour America with Three Chords and an Attitude and look forward to reading this book as well!

I had no idea this band existed. I'm so intrigued now....

I knew the band existed, but I had no idea about the book. I hope I win. Good luck, all!
