Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Dave Bidini’s quirky personal path to becoming a writer (as well as a well-known rock musician and sports enthusiast) began when he was very young and loved to pick at the typewriter. Review:Praise for For Those About to Rock: “Equal parts career guide and history lesson, For Those About to Rock tells not only how to get where you’re going, but where it all came from in the first place.” — The Globe and Mail “… Enormously readable … filled with first-person insights and useful information and peppered with the kind of trivia that appeals to even the nonmusical.” — The Gazette “This is an extraordinarily entertaining volume for kids of all ages….” — Edmonton Journal “One of ‘two books every Canadian musician must read.’” –Long and McQuade About the AuthorDave Bidini’s first book, published in 1998, was the popular and critically acclaimed On a Cold Road, about what it’s like to tour Canada in a rock ’n’ roll band. He has since written several more books, including Tropic of Hockey (2001) and Baseballissimo (2004). When he is not writing or traveling the world, Bidini is rhythm guitarist for the Rheostatics. The band has released ten albums to date, including Music Inspired by the Group of Seven, the soundtrack to the film Whale Music, which yielded the hit song “Claire,” and The Story of Harmelodia, a children’s album. He also starred in the Gemini Award-winning film The Hockey Nomad. For Those About to Rock was his first book for young adults. This is his second. Dave Bidini lives with his wife and two children in Toronto. What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
