I've Read It In Books

I've just finished a great book.  Head On by Julian Cope.  It tells the story of his time with The Teardrop Explodes.  Formed in Liverpool from members of the punk scene. It charts their rise and inevitable demise over a period of six years. In band fighting, jealousy and drugs, lots of drugs all play their part. 

Julian writes well and you are sucked into the story.  Sometimes funny, sometimes sad and sometimes just maddening.  You don't need to be a fan to enjoy this but if you have an interest in bands on the road then this book is for you.

It's a few years old now (I picked up my copy in a charity shop) but I'm sure it would be easy enough to track down. It 's definitely well worth it.
