From New York Times writer Steven Kurutz comes a humorous and smartly
told expedition into the world of tribute bands. The author hits the
road with Rolling Stones tribute act Sticky Fingers as they trail the
real Stones 2005-2006 tour. Along the way, you’ll meet a group of
Deadheads who replicate exact Grateful Dead concerts; hear the history
of the first tribute band, Beatlemania; and learn about “tributitus,” a
disorder that results in a tribute performer identifying a little too
closely with the rock star they portray, with resulting swelling of the
ego. Affectionate and engaging, here is the ultimate anthem for classic
rock culture.
