Rock nerd that I am, I'm a compulsive reader of rock biographies. So please trust me when I say that even if you're not a genre fan, Joe Oestreich's "Hitless Wonder" is extraordinary -- a sharply written memoir of his time in the trenches with the band Watershed, which plays Saturday night in Raleigh. Oestreich will also do a reading while he's in town, so see the interview in Friday's paper for details on both.
