Debbie wanted some recommendations of rock biogs. I particularly like
the ones that contain exciting revelations of decadent rock-and-roll
misbehaviour. Julian Cope's seminal memoir of the Liverpool post-punk
scene "Head On" is particularly good for this. It's also a tremendous
all-round page-turner that I simply couldn't put down. "Heroes And
Villains" the true story of the Beach Boys is also a fascinatingly
scurrilous and instructive tome, however I think it's out of print and I can't
remember who wrote it. So that's, um, not much use. Peter Miller must
have a heavily annotated copy. Perhaps he could lend it out. On a more
academic level I really enjoyed "Across The Great Divide", Barney
Hoskyns' book about The Band, but then I am a boring old bastard. 

Mark, Donnie Rovers' new signing is none other than Uncle Disgusting
himself, Mr Neville Southall. Shaking the football world, indeed !

PS,  to Oon: thanks v much for offering me info on Bangkok, but I didn't
get the message until I returned, so I couldn't take you up on it. 

Cheers, Adam
