The Mammoth Book of Sex, Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll

Product Description This title presents over 60 gripping accounts tracking the dark side of rock 'n' roll from the early days of the drugs-and-drink culture, and the birth of rock 'n' roll, through The Beatles, Stones, Sex Pistols, Madonna, Kurt Cobain and Oasis, to Amy Winehouse, Pete Doherty and other stars of the current rock-music scene. From trashed hotel rooms to cars in swimming pools, all rock 'n' roll's excesses are here, including murder and sexual deviancy, surprising brushes with the law that the stars thought they'd kept quiet, early and tragic deaths, drug overdoses, robbery, mis-marriages and groupies by the truckload. Review Several entries in this anthology would merit the entrance price for their inclusion alone. ― Independent Book Description The ultimate backstage rock anthology - the most exciting trip you'll ever make!
