I’m just getting started on @danielrachel.bsky.social‘s new one - This Ain’t Rock’n’Roll. It’s not an easy listen, but a good one. This doesn’t start with Johnny and Sid; Lennon, Jagger, Richards, Moon and Stanshall get their place in the spotlight first.
Intrigued to see where it goes.
The rise and fall of @coolbritania.bsky.social ??????
Thank you!
No. 1 in Music!
Mystified why Don't Look Back in Anger: the Rise & Fall of Cool Britannia is currently topping the Amazon music chart, 7 years after publication.
Very proud of the book, so chuffed!
A book that holds accountable the musicians who flirt with the Third Reich? Incredibly timely. Check out my review in @hippocampusmag.bsky.social.
SOLD OUT!
Thank you to everyone who came and engaged with the talk at Jewish Book Week.

Did you know that David Bowie owned Goebbels old desk and wanted to make a movie about him?
And he wasn't the only pop star fascinated by Nazism.

Clever title & interview feature...
A new book explores rock and roll’s long and complicated infatuation with Nazi Germany.
The original image was from a 1936 Hitler Youth poster.... appropriated by Joy Division....
Thank you!
