The Last Great Rock and Roll Band
()
About this ebook
Rock and Roll as we used to know it is almost dead.
But there is still one band, the last of their kind, doing their utmost to hold back the tsunami of (insert expletive of choice here) that the modern music business has become. Against all the odds, they make music, they tour, and they entertain fans with shows that kick so much ass that even the cushions you sit on afterwards develop a complex.
And there is one guy, one stupid, moronic, guy, who has gone out of his way to see as many shows as possible, in as many places as possible. Which has not always gone well for him.
So follow the band, and more importantly their self proclaimed 'Number One Fan', as he pays a fortune for a taxi, misses numerous flights, gets stranded in the middle of nowhere, and receives a phone call in a former Gestapo prison that accidentally changes his life!
At times comic, at other times dark, this is a no holds barred recollection of some of the best rock shows that have ever taken place, all told against the backdrop of the personal struggles and tragedy of the writer.
