WILLIE'S BAR & GRILL A Rock'n'Roll Tour of North America in the Age of Terror by Rob Hirst (from Midnight Oil)

A rare and out of print book by former Midnight Oil drummer, Rob Hirst. This book is new and in pristine condition, it is new old stock from 2003. See photos for cover blurb and sample pages - enjoy!

Synopsis: Part tour diary, part war commentary, part history brush-up and cultural junket, Willie's Bar & Grill charts legendary Australian band Midnight Oil's progress through North America shortly after the September 11 terrorist attack on the US. Rob Hirst, the band's drummer/songwriter, relates his version of life on the road in alternately serious, light-hearted but always entertaining, fashion, introducing the group's American tour manager, Willie, as well as the band members and often bizarre characters they meet.

Get on the bus and take the trip...

'Rob Hirst's strengths are his satirical tone, critical eye and marvellous sense of humour... [this] marvelous 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

'Required reading for Oils fans and anyone interested in what's involved in taking a rock show on the road.' VOYEUR
