Synopsis
Fifty stories from the glory days of rock'n'roll, featuring Lou Reed, Elton John, Sting and The Clash.
Allan Jones brings stories - many previously unpublished - from the golden days of music reporting. Long nights of booze, drugs and unguarded conversations which include anecdotes, experiences and extravagant behaviour.
- Why did 'lambchop' become the iconic band's name?
- Who tried to join the Confederate Air Force?
- How did the dark alliance of Lou Reed and John Cale start?
Allan Jones remembers a world that once was - one of dark excess and excitement, outrageous deeds and extraordinary talent, featuring legends at both the beginnings and ends of their careers.
