Synopsis
"We're Here for a Good Time" "Raise a Little Hell" "The Boys in the Bright White Sportscar" all Canadian anthems all recorded by Trooper. The Globe and Mail calls them "honest-to-God Canadian legends." The Toronto Sun lauds the ongoing strength of their "Boomer/Gen X cachet." They have sold millions of albums, have travelled tens of thousands of miles, and, for thirty years, have borne first-hand witness to an amazing era in popular music: "sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll" and the long hard road where careers are made and broken.Ra McGuire, Trooper's charismatic leader, singer, and songwriter, still travels that road, performing 100 shows a year from Tofino to Torbay and everywhere in between. Famous for his quick wit and sometimes too-candid stage banter, McGuire has always had a knack for keeping audiences on the edge of their seats. In Here for a Good Time: On the Road with Trooper Canada's Legendary Rock Band, he reveals the peaks and valleys of his life on the road and the joys and challenges of being a fifty-something rock star at large in the country he knows like the back of his hand.

Review
"Canada's soundtrack is not complete without Trooper. My Canada includes Ra McGuire as the poet laureate of rock 'n' roll. Raise a little hell indeed." -- Rick Mercer"The best histories are told from the trenches, and Ra McGuire is a rock 'n' roll soldier who has lived to tell the tale." -- Peter Cheney, Feature Writer, The Globe and Mail"This book offers an upfront look at rock 'n' roll touring from the gut side. A great read." -- Sam Feldman, SL Feldman & Associates (manager of Diana Krall, Joni Mitchell)"This is not only a rock 'n' roller's journey, it's a snapshot of Canada, as seen through the eyes of Ra McGuire. In this very diverse country, a few things hold us together -- hockey, beer, and good old hoser rock 'n' roll. From Victoria to St. John's, Trooper has turned many a Saturday night into a party."-- Bruce Allen, Bruce Allen Talent Promotions (manager of BTO, Bryan Adams, Michael Bublé, Anne Murray)
