"Fascinating."
—New York Magazine

Synopsis

After drifting out of his current band, Ivor must face that window cleaning is no longer his day job—it's his only job; he's not going to be a rock star after all. This, despite having played in such ground-breaking punk bands as S.O.A. with Henry Rollins, Faith, and Embrace with Ian Mackaye.

"Hanson is effortlessly sharp, insightful and funny."
—Publishers Weekly

"Hanson's dreams of mainstream rock success might have never left the ground, but, from over 100 feet above the city's streets, he's acquired an understanding of something no less lofty and far more fascinating."
—Washington City Paper

"Hanson is a good storyteller and he has good stories to tell."
—Manhattan Users Guide
