Rock On: An Office Power Ballad

Last updated November 1, 2026

By Dan Kennedy (humorist)

Dan Kennedy's comic memoir recounts his years in marketing at Atlantic Records. A lifelong rock fan who once dressed as a member of Kiss every Halloween, he lands what looks like a dream job. Before long he is directing a rapper's commercial and building an ad campaign around Phil Collins love songs. Surrounded by egomaniacs and executives who know less than their assistants, he watches the record business decline as sales fall and layoffs arrive.
