- Summary
- "Owen Noone is a charismatic minor league baseball player who gives it all up to sing punked-out folk songs. The Marauder is a shy college grad with a fledgling case of hero worship. Armed with nothing more than a songbook of Lomax classics and a couple of brand-new guitars, the two friends set off on a cross-country trip, playing their music on street corners and in coffee shops." "When their single finds its way to a college radio station and gets major airtime, it seems like their rock 'n' roll dream has finally come true. A huge label signs them, they kick-start a national tour, and the bands they once opened for now open for them." "But Owen and the Marauder quickly discover that while becoming famous can be easy, being famous is not. Thrust into the role of rock stars, they struggle to adjust. As reporters dig for dirt and disasters strike, it becomes clear that Owen Noone and the Marauder might not be able to survive their own publicity, a reality neither friend bargained for - and one that might just be the undoing of their legend."--BOOK JACKET.
