David Fagin — Writer/Musician

TV is easy, right? With all those channels, they’ll give anyone a TV show nowadays…

Of course the reality is, unless it’s a reality show, today’s TV scene is even harder to navigate than ever.

“The main challenge has been, and always will be, that the executives in charge make decisions based solely on fear,” says Hoboken resident David Fagin. “The greater the fear of losing their job, the less of a chance you will get a ‘yes.’ Which is why you rarely ever get one.”

Fagin has been busy promoting his TV show “Rock in a Hard Place,” about washed-up fictional punk rocker named Lint Jones—former lead singer of The Prix—who looks to make a comeback. “Being a musician myself, I knew Spinal Tap barely scratched the surface of this insane biz.”

Rosanna Arquette

Coming off a successful campaign to fund the pilot, Fagin has found support for “Rock in a Hard Place,” from none other than Rosanna Arquette, who has agreed to produce the project. “She emailed me that she was in London and was reading with Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders) and they were both cracking up. We’ve gone through a lot together pitching this thing around town.”

Meanwhile, Fagin continues his method study of Lint’s character, performing with his band The Counterfeiters. Stop by and see them perform locally, so you can say you know them when…
