Story4.5 out of 5 stars 811
Roger Daltrey is the voice of a generation. That generation was the first to rebel, to step out of the shadows of the Second World War...to invent the concept of the teenager. This is his story, from his birth at the height of the Blitz through tempestuous school days to his expulsion, age 15, for a crime he did not commit (though he was guilty of many other misdemeanours he'd got away with). Thanks to Mr Kibblewhite, his draconian headmaster, it could all have ended there. The life of a factory worker beckoned. But then came rock and roll....

Now, at last, the man himself tells us the story of life in the crossfire hurricane. And what a life....

In a career spanning six decades, Kenney was at the epicentre of many of the most exciting moments in music history and has experienced everything the industry has to offer. He jointly created some of the world's most loved records, hung out with the Stones, the Beatles, David Bowie, Keith Moon and Rod Stewart, and suffered the loss of close friends to rock 'n' roll excess and success.

Lenny McLean was one of the deadliest bareknuckle fighters Britain has ever seen. He had dear, powerful friends, but he also had terrible enemies. So much so that he had two bullet wounds in his back - each from a different attack. He was also stabbed repeatedly - always from behind. But Lenny was also a warm, big-hearted grizzly bear of a man, whose main weakness was an overwhelming desire to put the welfare of his mates ahead of his own wellbeing.

The Guv’nor
- By Sledge on 29-01-21
Summary
Oliver Reed may not have been Britain's biggest film star - for a period in the early 70s he came within a hairsbreadth of replacing Sean Connery as James Bond - but he is an august member of that small band of people, like George Best and Eric Morecambe, who transcended their chosen medium, became too big for it even, and grew into cultural icons.
For the first time Reed's close family has agreed to collaborate on a project about the man himself. The result is a fascinating new insight into a man seen by many as merely a brawling, boozing hellraiser. And yet he was so much more than this. For behind that image, which all too often he played up to in public, was a vastly complex individual, a man of deep passions and loyalty but also deep-rooted vulnerability and insecurities. Why was a proud, patriotic, intelligent, successful and erudite man so obsessed about proving himself to others, time and time again? Although the Reed myth is of Homeric proportions, he remains a national treasure and somewhat peculiar icon.

Such sad sweet fun
What did you like most about What Fresh Lunacy Is This??
A wonderfully read account of the life and times of the late great Mr Reed - the pace and depth of insight and speculation about his motives (and others) hits the right balance. To hear his exploits is heartening, amazing and sometimes very moving...by the time the story of his death is played out, tears were in my eyes.
What other book might you compare What Fresh Lunacy Is This? to, and why?
Red Carpets and other Banana Skins - Rupert Everett
What does Sean Barrett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
A lovely gift for voices and sccents
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Very moving - sometimes shocked by his behavior, sometimes amazed and in the end it felt like somebdy I knew had been taken too soon.
Any additional comments?
Better than other available biographies.

A Talent Wasted
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I love biographies and autobiographies but found this one of my least favourites, so wished I'd tried someone else, as I found myself disliking Mr Reed.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Didn't quite get to the very end, gave up.
Which character – as performed by Sean Barrett – was your favourite?
Didn't have one.
Was What Fresh Lunacy Is This? worth the listening time?
No, it annoyed me, not because it wasn't accurate I'm sure it was, I found Oliver Reed to be an overgrown school boy to whom life gave everything while he squandered it.

What about Sean Barrett’s performance did you like?
What a fantastic voice.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Depressing yet compelling
Very well read and compelling to listen to in spite of it coming over as a catalogue of self destruction of a superbly talented actor. In the end you realise that this was how he wanted to be when not working and although you might see it as a waste it was his choice. If only...
Now I must go watch 'Gladiator'.

oliver reed
Would you listen to What Fresh Lunacy Is This? again? Why?
Yes I enjoyed the book it was well read and interesting
What other book might you compare What Fresh Lunacy Is This? to, and why?
I cant really compare it to any of the other books I have read.
What does Sean Barrett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
His voice in some parts of the book did manage to sound reasonably like oliver reed and also some of the other actors he knew so sean ,for me anyway made this a great book to listen to.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yes near to the end of the book when Olivers wife Josephine is talking about his last moments that the only thing he said was Help Hurt! and then he collapsed I just thought it sounded so sad.
Any additional comments?
Thought it was a good story well told about a very complex and misunderstood actor who many think wasted his life and career because of his addiction to alcohol

Ollie!
Any additional comments?
I read about half of this book when first released. Purchased the audio version so I could listen while on the move. This is Oliver Reed's life, passions, work, family, friends, houses, cars, pubs, rough games and hard drinking. This isn't a sentimental journey nor a bitter one either. I have never been a huge Oliver Reed fan, but I am a fan of some of his films. Women In Love, Burnt Offerings and Gladiator. I'm a fan of well written and well researched biographies. I can see why England LOVES this man. Oliver was so in love with his country and countrymen. He died too young. His career was on a come back and he still had so much to give. RIP Ollie.

Wonderful
An amazing story of a complex man. The family's input along with his close friends, created what felt like a very complete picture of Mr. Reed.
It is very honest and endearing. Definitely worth the time to read or listen to.
