Comedy of Awkward
submitted by Sara W on June 21, 2011, 12:54am
Rock On is the story of Dan Kennedy's bewildering employment experience at Atlantic Records. The highlight for me was his dialogue, which had the true ring of the idiotic things we say under pressure and hear when we are too nervous to process information.
There are humorous episodes of awkward exchanges with co-workers, random run-ins with bands that were hugely famous (once up on a time) and the inevitable crushing of an idea by the all-powerful tech department (server-side technology! back end architecture!).
Funny stuff for the fans of the comedy of awkward.
