Synopsis
At last! An A-to-Z reference guide for readers who want to learn the cryptic language of Rock Snobs, those arcana-obsessed people who speak of "Rickenbacker guitars" and "Gram Parsons."
We've all been there--trapped in a conversation with smarty-pants music fiends who natter on about "the MC5" or "Eno" or "the Hammond B3," not wanting to let on that we haven't the slightest idea what they're talking about. Well, fret no more! The Rock Snob's Dictionary is here to define every single sacred totem of rock fandom's know-it-all fraternity, from Alt.country to Zimmy. (That's what Rock Snobs call Bob Dylan, by the way.)

Synopsis
The Rock Snob's Dictionary is the brainchild of Vanity Fair writers David Kamp and Steven Daly, who originally devised it as a short feature in the magazine's music issue. The response was so great that the feature became a running series, and now it's been expanded into a book that features new material and indispensable supplements. The Rock Snob's Dictionary is as funny as it is informative, for it does something that no previous rock reference has dared to: not take rock fandom so seriously. Whether you laughed at Jack Black's overamped character in School Of Rock or sheepishly recognized yourself in High Fidelity, you'll treasure this book.
About the Author
DAVID KAMP has been a writer for Vanity Fair and GQ for over a decade, and began his career at Spy, the satirical New York monthly. STEVEN DALY is a Vanity Fair contributing editor, and in a previous life was a rock musician in his native Glasgow, playing drums for the band Orange Juice. Kamp and Daly live in New York City.
