NONE MORE BLACK “TAP” COLLABORATION TO PUBLISH THIS SEPTEMBER

My latest book-length collaboration with accomplished persons of note, A FINE LINE BETWEEN STUPID AND CLEVER, shall be published by Gallery Books/Simon & Schuster on September 9. I worked with Rob Reiner, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer to tell the story of how they met, became friends, hatched upon an idea for a fictitious rock band called Spinal Tap, and rode that idea to rockumentary immortality. This “straight” memoir is complemented by a book B-side: flip the thing over and you get SMELL THE BOOK, an in-character oral history of the band conducted by Rob’s alter ago Marty DiBergi. Pre-order. Better yet, prë-ördër.

OUT NOW: NEW SINGLE I CO-WROTE WITH STEVE PORCARO

Steve who? The guy who wrote Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature,” and, as a member of Toto, gave us the panoramic synth ballet nestled within the hit “Rosanna.” Steve’s latest album, “The Very Day,” is not out ’til October, but its lead single, “Miss Jane Sinclair,” which we wrote together, is available wherever you prefer to stream your music.
