If you really want to know what it’s like to be a rock star, just ask one. But you are not likely to get a more honest answer then you will from Jacob Slichter, drummer for the band Semisonic.
Slichter’s 2004 book So You Wanna Be a Rock & Roll Star was widely praised for its frank – some would say brutally honest – assessment of the music industry.
Semisonic was formed in 1995, and over the next decade saw the good, the bad, and the really, really ugly of the music business.
Jacob and I talked about his book one fine midsummer day. So here now from 2004 Jacob Slichter.
Jacob Slichter is 62 now. He and Semisonic still perform publicly.
