Jancee Dunn is shameless.
And, as her totally gratifying memoir, But Enough About Me, makes clear, that’s one of the best things a girl can be.
A long-time Rolling Stone critic and former MTV veejay, Dunn has interviewed music’s most illustrious figures, from Bono to Loretta Lynn — yet her gimlet eye for the foibles of the ultra-famous hasn’t diminished her capacity to feel sweaty-palms fan-girl excitement.
Read about the mood-lit love-den interview with Barry White that mended her broken heart, the visit to Dolly Parton’s kitchen that yielded a souvenir chunk of Velveeta, and her drunken Lollapalooza wrestling match with Kim Deal.
Even better, though, is Dunn’s own story: An unrepentant Garden State girl (“unofficial slogan: Parts of it are nice”), Dunn found that her rock chick life was taking her too far from her big-haired, white-trash-food-eating, power-ballad-loving roots.
The tale of how she found her way back will make you want to wave a lighter back and forth and play air guitar ’til it hurts.
