The Great Rock 'n' Roll Joke Book

The Great Rock 'n' Roll Joke Book Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Rock and Roll" has now been a term in the American lexicon for nearly fifty years. With any institution comes the requisite skewering humor, and naturally, rock and roll is now ready for that treatment. Who better to do it than two veterans of the rock and roll scene and two members of the infamous Rock Bottom Remainders-Kathi Goldmark and Dave Marsh.

So here you are: the dirty, the absurd, and the witty side of rock and roll as it turns fifty. The love of young America's music in it's purest form: The joke.

Q: How do you get a guitarist to stop playing?

A: Put sheet music in front of him.

Q: What do you call guys that hang out with musicians?

A: Drummers.

The perfect gift for the rock n' roller in your life, whether they're a Canned Heat aficionado, a Butthole Surfers groupie, or a Hock of Seagulls worshipper.

Q: What do you call guys that hang out with musicians?

A: Drummers.

Q: What did the bass player get on his IQ test?
