The greatest rock story teller ever
I discovered Allan Jones with his last book, catch stand up for falling down . Both this, and that will keep you amused and talking for days.

Fascinating view of inside the world of rocknroll
Loved the characters in this book and also in "Can't stand up for falling down". it was a fascinating era for RocknRoll with fantastic musicians, their brilliant and innovative bands and extraordinary characters. Alcohol and drug taking is a major theme for this book and I guess linked heavily with that world at the time. The end does leave you with a sense of loss of this era and of the myriad of characters from it. This book doesn't ridicules the characters (and the author) as much as the first book, but rather also his admiration and weaknesses of the great characters he examines. So much the better I feel. The story and the chacters are narrated brilliantly. A great listen and very much enjoyable.
