Publisher's Synopsis
Before he became a best-selling author, before he was a TV and radio presenter, Tony Hawks was a pop star. As Morris Minor and the Majors, he had a No. 4 hit with "Strutter Rap" in 1988. He was on TOP OF THE POPS. He tasted fame...and now he wants more. ONE HIT WONDERLAND is his wonderful account of an adventure that takes him around the world in search of that elusive follow-up hit. From the studios of Nashville to the coffee bars of Amsterdam; from the plains of Sudan to the wilds of Tasmania, Hawks will do anything to have a hit. He changes musical styles with a bewildering lack of integrity. He hypes charts, he gets remixes. Is it possible to get a hit anywhere in the world with a song called "You Broke My Heart Like a Bird's Egg (But Now The Yolk's On You)"?
