How do you land a sweet six-figure marketing gig at the
hallowed record label known for having signed everyone from
Led Zeppelin to Stone Temple Pilots? You start with a resume
like Dan Kennedy's: • Dressed up as a member of Kiss every Halloween
• Memorized Led Zeppelin IV at age ten
• Fronted a lip-sync band in junior high
• Worked as a college DJ while he was a college drop-out In his outrageous memoir, McSweeney's contributor Kennedy
chronicles his misadventures at a major record label.
Whether he's directing a gangsta rapper's commercial or
battling his punk roots to create an ad campaign celebrating
the love songs of Phil Collins, Kennedy's in way over his
head. And from the looks of those sitting around the
boardroom, he's not alone. Egomaniacs, wackos, incompetents, and executive assistants
who know more than their seven-figure bosses round out this
power-ballad to office life and rock and roll.
