What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A vivid read.”” Independent on Sunday””
“Burgess keeps a level head, a sharp eye and a nice turn of phrase.” “Independent””
“Like the best bits of every cautionary rock star tale … there is armed robbery and smuggling. There’s serious fraud. There are near and actual death experiences, divorce, industrial cocaine consumption and magnificent cameos from Madonna, Alan McGee, Ronnie Wood, Joe Strummer, LA drug dealer Harry The Dog, and Joaquin Phoenix. A minor classic.” “Q””
“The Charlatans’ frontman recalls the heyday of Britpop and Madchester with endearing exuberance. He’s unflinchingly honest about the bad times but also peppers his story with anecdotal nuggets about the pitfalls of rock ‘n’ roll excess.”” Metro””
“Clear, honest. An unusually frank and well-written rock memoir.” the” Times”
