Publisher's Synopsis
Whether it was growing up in a small Iowa town, plying his trade as a drummer or vocalist for more than thirty bands as one of the Milwaukee music scene's more controversial figures, or just trying to deal with bipolar disorder, Rob McCuen has lived the life of a fighter. To be sure, he's fought the manic ups and paralyzing downs of bipolar, but he has also fought his own raging anger, uncontrolled desires, a fear of showing any fear and those who are closest to him and love him the most. When it comes right down to it, Rob McCuen has fought mostly against himself. What lies within "Shut Up and Listen" isn't pretty. It's a raw, unflinching, unadulterated, undeterred, examination of his life, with some stories getting a healthy dose of embellishment. You also get some of Rob's song lyrics as a bonus.
