Book description
'A controversial and honest account of My Life On The Road With
Rock Group, a potted history of pop from '79-'85, and a serious
analysis of the whole mess... Dave Rimmer has one great weapon at his
disposal. He was there.' David Quantick, NME 'As sharp a study of
British pop as we'll get ... Rimmer's point is that if the new pop
stars' success makes it seem 'like punk never happened', they emerged,
in fact, as a direct result of punk attitudes... Rimmer tells this
story in his raciest Smash Hits manner, with wit, insider info and
scandal.' Simon Frith, City Limits 'Rimmer is among the most
entertaining writers ever to pen a rock book.' Dave Marsh, Rock and
Roll Confidential
