Publisher's Synopsis
Be prepared to plant tongue firmly in cheek and suspend disbelief, as our Viking-haired rock warriors from the down the ages wax lyrical on subjects as diverse as: sex; drugs; touring; wealth; poverty; dwarfs; mainstream religion; cults; Satanism Ð and, of course, good old-fashioned rock ÕnÕ roll!!! From Lemmy on organised religion to Courtney Love on her drug habits to Ozzy on a life lived in total chaos, The Book of Outrageous Rock Quotes will confirm all your worst prejudices about the practitioners of heavy metal, punk and grunge rock. As unbelievable anecdotes follow crazed opinions, the rock industry confirms its status as the perfect antidote to a 9-to-5 existence Ð or to life itself, if you donÕt have the constitution to survive it. The Book of Outrageous Rock Quotes turns the noise up to 11 Ð just like Spinal Tap! Telling the stories of lives lived to the limit in the rock starsÕ own shamelessly confessional words, compiler and commentator Paul Goodwin complements all the excess with affectionately funny cartoon caricatures of the worldÕs favourite rock gods. The first in a series of outrageous pocket-sized anthologies.
