   Back cover excerpt:   
   "David Badini, rhythm guitarist the Rheostatics, knows all too well what   
   the life of a rock band in Canada involves: storied arenas one tour and   
   bars wallpapered with photos of forgotten bands the next. Zit-speckled fans   
   begging for a guitar pick and angry drunks chucking twenty-sixers and pint   
   glasses... Bidini has played all across the country many times, in venues   
   as far flung and unalike as Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto and the Royal   
   Albert Hotel in Winnipeg. In 1996, when the Rheostatics opened for the   
   Tragically Hip  on their Trouble at the Henhouse tour, Bidini kept a diary.   
   In 'On A Cold Road' he weaves his colorful tales about a tour with   
   revealing and hilarious anecdotes from the pioneers of Canadian rock..The   
   result is an original, vivid, and unforgettable picture of what it has   
   meant, for the past forty years, to be a rock musician in Canada."   
   The "On A Cold Road" (Tales Of Adventure in Canadian Rock) Dave Bidini Book
