        <title>Bako Talent Headed To Virgin Megastore &#039;Rock N Read&#039; - The ABC23 Files - ABC23&apos;s Blog - Bakersfield.com</title>
        <link>http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/ABC23/29839</link>
        <description>I&#039;ll be appearing at the Virgin Megastore at Hollywood and Highland Sunday July 13 for the &amp;quot;Rock N Read.&amp;quot; I&#039;m bringing two Bakersfield Bands: Norfolk and Dirty Spanglish. I&#039;ll be reading some kind of essay piece... 

Now check out my related review of&amp;nbsp;Stephanie Kuehnert&#039;s&amp;nbsp;punk-crazy novel, &amp;quot;I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone&amp;quot; in the ABC23 article: &amp;quot;Author Of New MTV Novel Fuses Music, Literature.&amp;quot; - Nick, ABC23

Excerpt:

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- Fist-in-your-face fiction may have hit the literary mainstream decades ago via the Beat Generation, but that doesn&amp;rsquo;t mean there&amp;rsquo;s no room for new gender perspectives and love stories set in the gritty dives of American subculture.
Stephanie Kuehnert&amp;rsquo;s MTV Books novel, &amp;ldquo;I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone&amp;rdquo; reflects on female misadventures and coming of age in the male-dominated music underground of the 1980s and 1990s. It&amp;rsquo;s an ode to music scenes, anti-mainstream culture and girl rock bands.

                <description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m here to talk about music and books, OldBlue. If you don&#039;t like how I look, then don&#039;t look at me. If you don&#039;t like me, then don&#039;t comment. I can take personal stabs, but someone who doesn&#039;t post their photo is just being a web troll, trying to instigate an online fight. It&#039;s really not worth it to comment. I won&#039;t be responding to you any further, because you&#039;re really showing no class as you&#039;ve showed in the past. It&#039;s easier just to delete your comments.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
