TRDM Trouble: The Greatest Rock & Roll Band You Never Heard, paper             

 

Before there was MTV, rap and corporate-made boy bands, there was Trouble, (the greatest rock and roll band you ever heard), well almost-if it weren't for all those dirty deeds, scandals, drugs and a little infidelity. The journey begins in a bar where Robert Deane is suffering from the blues. While drinking a beer, he reminisces about the band, taking readers on a rollicking adventure beginning in childhood and ending with the demise of the group. As a nine-year-old, Robert meets his future band mates in a small town in Nevada's Mojave Desert. The first meeting is anything but pleasant. Alone and miserable, he turns to his cheap acoustic guitar for comfort. It's when he plays guitar during a classroom show-and-tell that the bullies see Robert in a new light and ask him to join their band. Years pass and the band turns into a reputable ensemble with a marketable future. But unscrupulous behavior both inside and outside the music business keeps the four troublemakers from reaching success, making them the greatest rock and roll band you never heard.

From the Book: I laughed "Yes, there is. Can you believe it? Hell GC, they even made a cover jacket for it." "A jacket, really? What does it look like?" he asked. "It has this mean old rooster on it. It looks cool dude, real cool ..." "You're not messing with me now? You really got Jerry Havasu to be our manager? If this is true, I'm there. Give me a week to get my shit packed ..." Roger and Steve weren't the problem. It was their wives. They were very leery of reuniting the band, and who could blame them with our past track record. *** It had been three weeks since Holly shipped off the tape to Vicious Circle Records, and I was hoping that we'd hear something by now. I had called Jerry Havasu's office last week, optimistic that the man had a change of heart, but he hadn't. In fact, he was in the process of selling off everything and moving into a monastery somewhere in southern Europe.
