Reseña del libro "33 Days In The Hole: The Chicago Experiment (en Inglés)"
For 33 days freelance music journalist Rob Kern set aside all forms of music except for one, the music of Chicago The Band. His mission, to listen to one Chicago album per day, chronologically, from their first release to their newest. Can a hard rock loving goon survive this musical deprivation experiment? 33 Days In The Hole: The Chicago Experiment is equal parts album review and manifesto that exposes the reader to Rob's thoughts, ideas and general state of mind while listening to a band that has weathered 6 decades of change and musical styles. Part rock and roll, part parody, 33 Days In The Hole: The Chicago Experiment is a book that will have you shaking your head one minute and laughing the next. Will Rob find a new favorite group or descend into madness? Read on and find out. "This is good stuff" - Ross The Boss (Dictators, Manowar, Manitoba). "Like reading an old issue of Creem Magazine" - Michael Hannon (Salty Dog, American Dog). "The headbanged genius that is Rob Kern has more than innovatively picked, of all things, the smells-funny horn rock abomination, Chicago, as a crafty, sly jump-off point to wax nostalgically about the wider (and harder) rocking realm and his own booze-addled stupidity, each wayward tale (all better than yours) and oldster-vantaged observation sure to send any classic rock waste-case into knowing winks and the odd convulsion of sad recognition. This journey has not made me like Chicago any higher 'n the last place in which the band presides. But it has made me appreciate how a whole hilarious rock 'n' beers universe can be spun out of such a musical no-go zone, especially when the spinner is a guy who self-professes possession of a mind stuffed with simultaneously rockin' an' rollin' hamster wheels." - Martin Popoff
