Posted by on 30th November 2009 in Other
A friend who also recommended in the music industry “Piston Head″ and for me it was a revelation! I have many years in the trenches of rock and roll and this book touches a bulls-eye.
We meet Charlie Sinclair, a factory worker in blue-collar Boston (they used to have factories here, believe it or not) who plays guitar in a rock band called Heavy Piston Head. The group is not entirely successful – The book opens on a Thursday evening at the club great divide, where the band an audience of 500 people (heavy drinkers, and gang violence, was shot). There is a crisis: Jack “Rip″ Taylor, the vocalist has disappeared, presumably to score some dope in the parking lot of dealers amicable Dust Twins.
