At twenty-eight, Jenny Troanni has decided to become the rock goddess she was always meant to be. Items on her new to-do list include:1) Quit going-somewhere copywriting job and get going-to-band-practice job.2) Break up with Hootie and the Blowfish-lovin' boyfriend.3) Hang out in skanky bars. Meet musicians.4) Cash in pension and buy kickass guitar amp.5) Team up with sex-crazed guitar genius/best friend Lucy Stover Hanover II.After auditioning every musician in the greater Los Angeles area---including the deluded, deranged, and underaged---Jenny finds the perfect lineup, and 60-Foot Queenie is born. But while reveling in free tequila shots, autograph hunters, and other perks of minor stardom, Jenny realizes with a shock that 60-Foot Queenie is poised to become even bigger than she imagined. Suddenly, she's learning the real lessons of Rock and Roll High School, including the danger of trusting a record company executive who ties a ponytail in his goatee, and the ten telltale signs your bass player is living in your practice space.Part diary, part crash course in rock stardom,Don't Sleep with Your Drummeris a hilarious, no-holds-barred guide through the pleasures and pitfalls of the music industry---from the beginning to the bitter end, and back again.
