Book Reviews of Hard Core Logo
Book Review: A witty and brutally honest view of the music business/
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally heard of this book because one of the characters(so far my favourite)is one of my favourtie bands namesake:Billy Tallent.(except the band's name is spelt minus one L).The book is mainly about the band Hard Core Logo that made it big as a seminal punk bad back in the late 70's. It starts off with the lead singer,Joe Dick, (yes that is his name) telling us how the band got started and ended. The band broke up mutually but exagerated it into a story of spite for eachother in oder to "fit the mold". The band, towards the end of their carreer, were also said to have sold out, and I don't mean selling all their tickets for a show. about 10 years later the four men that made up the band find their lives in a rut. Joe's a druggie, Billy's(guitarist) a drunk, John(bassist) was depressed and is lonely, and Pipefitter(drummer) is a poor garbage man. Their lives start to go back to the old days though after they get a call to do a benefit/reunion gig for some enviromental thing. Afterwards they decided to do a tour and their crazy hellish rock and roll days suddenly return...but is it for the best? Anywho back to the review: The characters are at times hateable and likeable but most importantly believable(in this kinda setting). The format in which the book is written is unique but it times confusing and side tracks, however the book and concept are clearly well-thought out and this makes for a really interesting read if your into this kinda stuff. All in all, very awesome.
