Don Quixote
by Miguel de Cervantes (also rec’d by Bill Maher, David Copperfield & Marcus Garvey )
Buy on AmazonI’ve sometimes told people that if they want to understand what ‘rock and roll’ means to me, they should read Don Quixote . Which is an unbelievably obnoxious thing to say and also something I stand by. Without Sancho Panza believing in or at least humoring his ‘liege,’ the magic evaporates. It feels incredible to suspend disbelief and subscribe to the world-changing spell cast by a rock song. What’s wrong with that? Lots, probably. But life would suck without it.
