Cameron Crowe’s memoir called The Uncool

My wife bought it for me for Christmas and I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy it but actually it’s great. It’s like the true story of Almost Famous (a film based on his early days as a rock journalist) but also includes stories of encounters with legendary figures from the 70s - Dylan, Gram Parsons, Bowie, the Allman Brothers etc. Highly recommended if you are interested in music from that period

I never read book reviews. Multiple awards adorning the cover tend to put me off too.

You’d miss some very good writing, then.

I loved this book at the time, but was brought up short by the F-bomb he deploys for no good reason. An F-bomb, in a book about rabbits, FFS!

Maybe as it’s the Puffin version, it will be @%&*! edited out

For some reason I wanted buy it, also bought the BluRay at the same time

Don’t always agree with Bradshaw but most critics bring more understanding to my love of cinema.

Benny Green wrote excellent and learned prose about subjects he admired. Jazz and the American song book.

Just started, but I imagine that a fair chunk of the book will be about the development of Radar at Defford, Malvern and Pershore. In WW2 there were at least six RAF airfields in the county plus other RAF establishments.
