I was instantly transported back to the sights, sounds and smells of a time I thought I'd forgotten: the endless parade of bands in vans and pubs and clubs-and all the offbeat personalities and insane situations that defined the heyday of alt-rock and made it so much fun, whether you were in a band or just a fan. Somebody needed to document this era, and Rules of the Road gets it just right.\" - Slo' Tom Stewart, Furnaceface\u003c\/p\u003e\"A raw look at what it's like to be a rock and roll everyman.

Here's the story of one of the players who played his part (and bass) while going on his very own musical ride, in a little green tour bus, along with the kings of the Duke, Jimmy George.\u003cbr\u003e- From the Foreword by McNally\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 31, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52465445273907,"sku":"9781739066604","price":33.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/s6H-1QyamK9781739066604.webp?v=1759287241","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/rules-of-the-road-breakdowns-on-the-musical-highway-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
