Sex, drugs and rock and roll in the Discworld.

Except there's really not any sex to speak of, and … to be honest really not any drugs either.

But 1 out of three ain't bad, er, well, I guess that's 33 percent, so really not that good but …

But in Sir Terry Pratchett's able writing, it is good, as the Discworld experiences rock and roll -

or actually, Music with Rocks In as performed by The Band with Rocks In.

Imp Y Celyn (which literally means "bud of holly,") calls himself Buddy, and his band mates Glod (as in on a mission from Glod) and their troll drummer Cliff set out to hit the big stage of Ankh-Morpork and things get bigger than they ever imagined as Buddy finds a magical, mystical guitar that takes over and makes things interesting.

Checklist of Discworld characters:

Death - check
The Librarian - check
Cut-me-own-throat Dibbler - check
The Wizardly staff at Unseen University - check
Susan - check
Sgt Colon and Corporal Nobbs - check

And a host of other fun folks who inhabit Pratchett's Discworld. Most of the action takes place in Ankh-Morpork but the Band also goes on tour. As in most of Pratchett's work, this is also a satire on a great many things, most notably here commercialism, music industry, art and music, and human nature.

Fun, fun, fun.
