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
