Jacob is the drummer for Semisonic. It tells the story of forming Semisonic in the mid 90s and struggling to find success. I've read a handful of books written by or about rock stars, and this one is my favorite.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Wanna-Rock-Roll-Star-Machine-Gunned/dp/0767914716","subreddit_name":"suggestmeabook","author":"jmshub"},{"body":"[So You Wanna Be a Rock \u0026amp; Roll Star](https://www.amazon.com/Wanna-Rock-Roll-Star-Machine-Gunned/dp/0767914716/ref=nodl_) is a fantastic read. It’s written by Semisonic’s drummer, essentially an autobiography of the band’s experience dealing with the music industry.
