Review
""The Bluffer's Guide to The Rock Business" will enable you to bandy terms like 'per diems' and 'cross collateralisation'. It will help you sound knowledgeable about touring, media campaigns and advance/royalty rates. It will help you sign a record deal like you were Mark Knopfler's brother. Actually this is no big surprise as the "Bluffer's Guide,.". was, indeed, written by Mark Knopfler's brother. As a founder member of Dire Straits, Dave K has been around the track enough to gain first-hand experience of the industry and charlatans out to fleece you at every turn, and everyone - accountants, A& R men, musicians - gets it between the eyes with equal parts wit and cynicism....It's all too accurate. "

"Some people have the knack of successfully bluffing their way through life. They generally know very little, but still manage to sound convincing. How do they do it? [Easy.] They follow "The Bluffer's Guides" [- a series of snappy little books which offer tips and basic facts on just about any subject you care to mention]. "
