Bieber to write memoirs, and credit TPG?
From our friend Rachel Safier. An "illustrated memoir" is on the way from the Bieber!
And Justin, we know you read our blog just as you listen to our catchy choruses -- we look forward to ordering out copies and of course anticipate being named (and thanked?) in the chapter about "Baby." All is forgiven. Sam is wearing his Bieber wig and counting our record sales as I write this.
From the NY Times:
If anything can turn young people on to reading, it might be a memoir by the teenage pop superstar Justin Bieber. In October, HarperCollins will release “Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever: My Story,” the publisher announced on Monday. “Between the behind-the-scenes pictures and the story I think this is going to be something they can all enjoy,” Mr. Bieber, 16, said in a statement. “This is just another way for me to say thank you to my fans.” HarperCollins described the book as an “illustrated memoir” in hardcover that will detail Mr. Bieber’s rise to stardom, complemented by exclusive photos — “a must-have for fans afflicted with Bieber-fever.” “All kidding aside, it’s going to sell a million-billion copies,” predicted Publishers Weekly.
Like any band, The Public Good is a group of people that forms around music making. This group isn’t limited to the people holding instruments; it embraces all involved. This blog records and riffs on this involvement.
The Public Good’s live shows in and out of the District of Columbia have developed a cult following intrigued by the band's special mix of heart-pounding rock-n-roll, brain-wrenching IQ quizzes, and occasional costume dramas.
John Elderkin (guitar) and Steve Ruppenthal (bass) lead songwriting and vocals, and the band is rounded out on stage by literary genius Sam Esquith on guitar/keyboards/tambourine, and the supremely talented roaming percussionist Chris Garges (Mitch Easter band, etc.) on drums.
