In 1997, when there seemed to be a market for nearly anything over the internet, journalist Steve Fishman had a brilliant idea: HIP HOP KARAOKE ON THE INTERNET. Making a million dollars in the process was also high on Steve's agenda. It wasn't long before Steve - himself a hip hop novice at best - had the ears of members of the hip hop elite, among them RUSSELL SIMMONS and CHUCK D. Five years later, the whole ordeal turned into a book: Karaoke Nation (Free Press). Check out www.karaokenation.com for a glimpse and access FREE EXCERPTS of Steve's hilarious attempt to forge the internet and karaoke worlds. If you like what you see, please write to email-address-deleted and I can arrange to get you a copy of the book for half the cover price. If not, you'll still be able to access the free excerpts from the conveniece of home. There's also a great link to MAKE YOUR OWN KARAOKE ONLINE. Go to Karaokenation.com and find out what happens when the internet, karaoke, and a first time business man collide.
