That's the lamest thing about it, the main character is an aging rock star, and the author manages to fit in a reference to a band, or a singer, or a song on every page. It kinda reminds me of when people used to write essays in secondary school and they would squeeze in a reference to their favourite band. In this book the guy can't just turn on the radio without it being mentioned that a Nirvana track is playing, instead of just "he turned on the TV" it's "he turned on the TV, "March of the Pigs" by Nine Inch Nails was playing", anytime he picks up a guitar he has to mention he started strumming "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" etc, it's so chock full of musical references it's a little embarrassing.
