Reading Ventures: Letter to Writers

Dear Frank Portman,

Thank you for your awesome book KING DORK.  I saw the book in the young adult section of the E Library in Lakeland Florida.  The cover seemed interesting, and the fact that you are in the Mr. T Experience was another intriguing factor.   But what I loved most besides the writing was the rock and roll mentions.
  I have found bands that I never ever heard before.   Mr. Portman thank you!

Gregorio Roth

P.S.
SO I wrote this a year ago and still Frank Portman turns me onto bands, I would never had heard of.   Today I searched Grooveshark, and found Lindisfarne and Alan Hull.   Good stuff to get your morning going. Thanks again, for being the guy who informs the ignorant of great bands.

50 States/Bay Area: King Dork Frank Portman


 I am Currently reading King Dork by Frank Portman: "
But my view is that there's something seriously wrong with a subculture that would prefer "Stairway to Heaven" to "Wig Wam Bam."  Come on: go listen to "Wig Wam Bam" and tell me I'm wrong.
Sweet ruled Led Zeppelin's sorry ass... I heard him whisteling a tune I recognized from my own record collection: "My Baby Loves Lovin'" by White Plains originally recorded as a demo in their previous incarnation as arguably superior Flowerpot Men."84-85
