The charming, witty and slightly disreputable memoirs of Alex James -- artist, musician, bass player with Blur, and the perfect chronicler of the Britpop generation
'I was the Fool-king of Soho and the number one slag in the Groucho Club, the second drunkest member of the world's drunkest band. This was no disaster, though. It was a dream coming true. I lived in the best house in Covent Garden. I had everyone's number, a rocket going to Mars, two aeroplanes and a Damien Hirst taxi. Ten years later, everything had changed. I don't drink, don't take drugs and I'm married. I live on a farm in the Cotsworlds. I've sold the aeroplanes because I've landed. This is a voyage-and-return autobiography. It's the story of a rock-and-roll poster boy's journey from dreams of having everything to getting everything and wanting more. It's a stroll through the lush scenery of the high life and the low life of the 90s. It's about growing up bigger than I imagined. It starts where I was born and finishes her, when my son arrives.' Alex James
