They Just Seem a Little Weird by Doug Brod

They Just Seem a Little Weird by Doug Brod was received directly from the publisher and I chose to review it.  I had never heard of this author though he worked for Spin magazine, a magazine I am old enough to have idolized as a youngster.  The book is about four bands, Kiss, Aerosmith, Cheap Trick and Starz and how they made music what it is today.  Yes, I had no recollection of Starz either.  Having been born in the mid 60’s and growing up in Americas Heartland, flyover country with the deplorables, three of these bands were listened to almost every day.  This book goes into great details, some known, some not, about the bands early years and upbringing.  Interestingly enough, it goes chronologically, not by band, so one chapter can be Kiss, the next Aerosmith, etc.  If you, or someone you buy gifts for likes any, or most likely most, of these bands, give this book as a gift.
