Product Details
- 33 Percent Rockstar is an entertaining, honest look at the trials and tribulations most musicians endure -- and still fail to attain their dreams. Yet it also illustrates why the dream remains alive. -- BlueInk Reviews (Starred Review)10 out of 10! -- The Booklife PrizeScott has played over 500 concerts at hundreds of venues spanning almost two decades. From performing to the bar staff at strip mall dive bars, to a sold-out show with members of The Misfits and the Ramones, 33 Percent Rockstar: Music, Heartbreak and the Pursuit of Rock Stardom is about the love of music and life as a struggling musician. It is the true story of what happens when you give up everything to follow your dreams—even when they lead to a run-down strip club in a seedy part of Lincoln, Nebraska.Scott learned how to play the bass guitar, and became a musician. He'd eventually become a damn good one. He fell in love and got his heart broken. Twice. He played in multiple bands, recorded multiple albums, and toured the country.In the end, Scott never made it big, but it wasn’t for lack of trying. All for the love of music, he toiled in dead-end jobs, drove across the country in dilapidated tour vans, and dealt with the fragile egos and creative differences of a rotating cast of bands and band members.33 Percent Rockstar: Music, Heartbreak and the Pursuit of Rock Stardom is a Behind the Music for the vast majority of musicians who never achieve rock stardom and offers a glimpse of the everyday lives of those hopeful, possibly deluded souls pursuing the rockstar dream.

Rock Editorial Review
**Editorial Review of "33 Percent Rockstar: Music, Heartbreak and the Pursuit of Rock Stardom"** "33 Percent Rockstar" offers readers an engaging glimpse into the life of a musician chasing the elusive dream of rock stardom. The author, Scott, reflects on his journey through various bands, revealing not only the thrills and challenges of performing but also the often unglamorous reality of life on the road. His experiences are peppered with humorous anecdotes and bittersweet moments, capturing the essence of what it means to be a dedicated, yet struggling artist. The book has been met with a mixed reception. Many readers enjoyed the candid portrayal of Scott's pursuit, resonating with the ups and downs of aspiring musicians. His storytelling has been described as a blend of a diary and a memoir, giving insight into both the passion and pitfalls of seeking fame in the music world. For those familiar with the rock and roll lifestyle, this book is likened to a relatably messy car wreck — fascinating yet chaotic. However, some critiques have pointed out flaws in the writing style, describing it as episodic with abrupt transitions that can leave readers wanting more closure within the stories. Additionally, a common sentiment is the lack of detail regarding the specific bands he played with, as well as some discontent with Scott's focus on the party lifestyle rather than the discipline required to achieve true musical greatness. Overall, "33 Percent Rockstar" is recommended for readers who enjoy stories from the perspective of aspiring musicians, particularly those who appreciate the rawness of life within the music scene. It’s a light, quick read that offers entertainment value, albeit with a few narrative shortcomings. **
