Book Description
" ... a terrific read. Hirst writes with some genuine flair and tempers his sharp eye for detail with a seen-it-all-before rock veteran cool. (He) is also insightful enough to recognise the not-yet-spoiled delights that lurk just off the USA's smog-choked, SUV-clogged interstates. Think Bill Bryson rewriting Almost Famous." – Rolling Stone Part tour diary, part war commentary, part history brush-up and cultural junket, Willie's Bar and Grill charts legendary Australian band Midnight Oil's progress through North America shortly after the 11 September 2001 terrorist attack on the US. Rob Hirst, the band's drummer/songwriter, relates his version of life on the road in an alternately serious, light-hearted but always entertaining, fashion, introducing the group's American tour manager, Willie, as well as the band members and the often bizarre characters they meet. Get on the bus and take the trip. "Hirst's strengths are his satirical tone, critical eye and marvellous sense of humour ... (this) marvellous book is a view of rock music as corporatised and the music of the almost-old. But it is also a work that gives a clear-eyed view of America on the road." – The Age "A true rock 'n' roll odyssey." – NW "Required reading for Oils fans and anyone interested in what's involve din taking a rock show on the road." – Voyeur

White Water Bar & Grill
Author: Shirley Linkhart
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 059537235X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
In 1962, after fleeing her charming, adulterous husband, Suzanne McTavish, desperately needs a job. Few exist in tiny Barkerville, tucked in the forests of Oregon's Cascades. Old Mr. Wilke at the White Water Bar & Grill wants pretty girls tending his bar-and much more. With twenty dollars in her pocket and knots in her stomach, she accepts his proposition. On her own for the first time, the naïve twenty-one year-old has much to learn about scoundrels when a handsome, mysterious stranger wiles his way into her world. Chaos descends when two hundred rowdy construction miners swagger into town with big money. Suzanne and her free-spirited sidekick, Karen, are quickly caught in the turbulence of politics, deceit and seduction. The hard-drinking men whose paths they cross are nothing like the loggers they grew up with. By summer's end, the two women, each with different ideas about how to behave in their booze-centered world, encounter difficult decisions concerning love and loyalty. Suzanne questions the life she's living at the White Water Bar & Grill, but only the shock of tragedy brings the clarity she needs to escape the whirlpool and move on to complete her emancipation.
