Jacket Blurb
Rock Sonic Dot Com Blues traverses three radically different realms: the underbelly of rock-and-roll, the pomp of an Ivy League school, and the arrogance of the new economy. A frustrated rock musician in a struggling band leaves his Hollywood group for the halls of an East Coast graduate school. After falling in love with a coed ten years his junior, he follows her into the pioneering world of Internet startup companies, only to find it even uglier than rock-and-roll. Only through a rediscovery of music is the character able to find the means to continue. It’s a story that examines the Dot Com Fiasco of the late nineties, the trials of modern romance, and the innate human need for artistic expression.
