About this deal

Was here for the anecdotes about the people in the 'scene' in the ,80s,/90s but all you get is Brown's impact on the 80s/90s.

At first this book seemed like it was right up my street, especially given that I had actually completed some work experience as a late teenager at Loaded magazine.The James Brown I have got to know, the man who helped me out with numerous employment opportunities, gave me a place to live in London and offered unending advice and encouragement with my writing, is kind, generous, self-effacing and unassuming to the point of anonymity. The cocky version of himself that he seemed to want to paint appeared to be bravado to hide a softer side. He briefly managed the band Fabulous, and spent a lot of time in America but eventually was invited to an interview for the job of editor of the NME.

Whether that works for you will depend on your enjoyment of seeing how functioning alcoholics can pull their shit together to craft great copy. He hasn’t lost his thirst for rock and roll, although where he once travelled in the back of transit vans on tour with post-punk indie trailblazers, he is now in a position to blagg flights and hotels and free tickets to catch the biggest bands on the planet, on the other side of the world. His enthusiasm for music, comedy, and print is infectious, and he sells the artistry in mag writing.The fact he read it in such a conversational way was a huge bonus and made you feel part of a conversation. Along the way they dream up genius headlines like ‘Fifty ways to lose your liver’, ‘Chocolate and the Charlie factory’ and ‘Sushi and the van keys’. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. It’s about, celebrities, football, drugs, a crisps World Cup, travelling, partying and a dose of self reflection.

But he still buzzes with energy and ideas, and I get the sense that there are only so many blackberries he can pick before he gets the publishing itch again, and a company will have to decide whether or not he’s worth the risk. On one occasion, Brown says, the references to narcotics became so overt that the publisher at IPC became worried the drug squad might be about to turn up.The Face had been fronted at the time by Kate Moss, and there was a backlash against wafer-thin models. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees.
