Tenacity Of The Cockroach
Conversations with Entertainment's Most Enduring Outsiders
For 15 years, The Onion's A.V. Club has been interviewing entertainers and storytellers of every style and stripe. But it has always placed an emphasis on those with fascinating, hard-won careers, from amiable retirees and passionate visionaries to bitter, jilted, eternally warring cranks.
Collecting more than 65 of The A.V. Club’s most entertaining and candid interviews, The Tenacity Of The Cockroach offers a pop-cultural tour unlike any other. Interviewees include Robert Altman, Henry Rollins, Ronnie Spector, David Cross, Andy Partridge (XTC), Mr. T, John Waters, Grant Hart (Husker Du), Pam Grier, David Lee Roth, Lemmy Kilmister (Motorhead), Quentin Crisp, and more than 50 others.
