Tried to Say - Paperback

Plug in your headphones and turn out the lights-"Tried to Say" is the mix tape of one man's journey from adolescence to adulthood. Join Gen-X audiophile, Qwerty, as he tries to follow a string of mentors down the path to the man he wants to be. But in the Minnesota winters, paths like that can snow over quickly. Accompanied by bands such as Soul Coughing, Grandaddy, Radiohead, and Clinic, experience a young man's life in the vibrant hi-fi stereo that brings forth all of the highs and lows. The music weaves a continuous thread throughout Qwerty's life-from high-school prom to his grandmother's deathbed to a punk concert at the 7th Street Entry of the First Avenue Nightclub in Minneapolis. So bundle up as you travel the unbeaten trail with Qwerty: the footing is unsure and the snow is blinding, and all the while you'll be wondering if he knows where he's going and if he has what it takes to get there.
