Descriere

Thirty-one-year-old Dave Raymond has an adoring girlfriend who's stuck by him since high school, and a steady gig as guitarist for The Wishbones, a New Jersey wedding band. He still lives with his parents, but that's a small price to pay for the freedom to play the music he loves. Granted, The Wishbones aren't the E Street Band, but all in all, life's been good to him so far. Dave's world changes the day three little words fly from his mouth: "Let's get married." His marital ambivalence takes a perilous turn when he embarks on an affair with Gretchen, a New York City poet. Dave finds himself torn between Gretchen and his fiancee, Julie, and the two sides of his own personality they represent. Is he an artist after all, a bohemian trapped in a suburbanite's body? Should he chuck his wedding band and follow his rock-'n'-roll dream? Or is he just an average Joe who should happily accept life with a loving wife and a center-hall colonial near the mall? And then there are the other Wishbones: Buzzy, the hard-drinking bass player whose roots are in heavy metal but whose heart belongs to his wife and kids; Stan, the brokenhearted drummer/accordionist; and Ian, the talented singer who's recently, improbably, completed a musical about the JFK assassination. Together the band careens toward a collective destiny as Dave fumbles toward his wedding day.
