description: Chuck Klosterman has chronicled rock music film and sports for almost fifteen years. He's covered extreme metal extreme nostalgia disposable art disposable heroes life on the road life through the television urban uncertainty and small-town weirdness. Through a variety of mediums and with a multitude of motives he's written about everything he can think of (and a lot that he's forgotten). The world keeps accelerating but the pop ideas keep coming.In Eating the Dinosaur Klosterman is more entertaining and incisive than ever. Whether he's dissecting the boredom of voyeurism the reason why music fans inevitably hate their favorite band's latest album or why we love watching can't-miss superstars fail spectacularly Klosterman remains obsessed with the relationship between expectation reality and living history. It's amateur anthropology for the present tense and sometimes it's incredibly funny.
