She has written for GQ, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Harper's Bazaar, the New York Times, and other publications.. A writer for Rolling Stone since 1989, Jancee Dunn was a correspondent for Good Morning America and an MTV veejay
So it was with bleak expectations that she submitted her résumé to Rolling Stone magazine. And before she knew it, she was backstage and behind the scenes with the most famous people in the world—hiking in Canada with Brad Pitt, snacking on Velveeta with Dolly Parton, dancing drunkenly onstage with the Beastie Boys—trading her good-girl suburban past for late nights, hipster guys, and the booze-soaked rock 'n' roll life. New Jersey in the 1980s had everything Jancee Dunn wanted: trips down the shore, Bruce Springsteen, a tantalizing array of malls. Riotously funny and tremendously touching, But Enough About Me is the amazing true story of an outsider who couldn't quite bring herself to become an insider.. To music lover Jancee, New York City was a foreign country
"Fun and Informative!" according to Mercedes J.. I just loved this book! It's been sitting on my wish list for quite awhile, but having just finished a Tudor-era book about Henry VIII's sixth wife, I decided to go with something a little 'lighter' for my next book. This was perfect!Ms. Dunn is funny without trying to be, and tells her stories without the pretentious attitude of a name-dropper. She simply shares her experiences and quirky moments with some of the hottest celebrities out there, but you never feel like she's bragging. She talks ab. "love, love, love this book" according to privacy. jancee and her family are fabulous!!!! i just loved them!!!! who could not love her dad?!!! her best friend julie is a go too!!!! one of my favorite chapters is the food parading "party" julie takes her along toand i also loved her sister reminding her wyland could care less about her so get out of there!! they are far more compelling/endearing/interesting than any of the celebrities she interviews. i've passed this along to friends/family and it always delivers!! excellent/fun little book!!. A wonderfully honest, engaging and quick read! This is one of the few books that makes me laugh out loud! Craig C. Brandau Although I'm a generation older than Jancee, I was able to relate to her stories and self-deprecating humor. This is one of the few books that made me laugh out loud!
