Give it a go, another of my curated, quality uploads.

Diary of a Rock 'n' Roll Star is a horse of a different colour entirely.  Diary of a life spent grinding it out on the road, bad food, bad hotels, bad people.  And you'll never make any money.

This is supposedly one of the definitive rock memoirs.  A decent read.

Blurb comes now:

“Worshipped, hated, envied, exploited - who are they, these rock stars?
Read Diary of a Rock ’n’ Roll Star and your idols will never seem the same...”

So ran the back cover text of the original edition of this seminal music book. First published in 1974, it was probably the first ever rock autobiography, and is now regarded as a classic.

The book documents Matt the Hoople’s 1972 American tour and strips away the glittering facade of the 70’s rock star lifestyle, where hopes and dreams equate, in reality, with poverty and discomfort.

This brutally honest account introduces the reader to the managers, promoters, hangers-on and fans, as well as Hunter’s personal friends David Bowie, Keith Moon and Frank Zappa.

Ian Hunter joined Mott the Hoople in 1969, and acclaimed albums and powerful live shows followed, with ‘All The Way From Memphis’ and Bowie’s ‘All The Young Dudes’ being notable high points, before Mott split in 1974. After working with Mick Ronson, Hunter nows enjoys a successful solo career. He lives in Connecticut USA.

This best-selling tile is universally acclaimed as one of the most outstanding and essential music books ever written.

Ian Hunter’s Diary of a Rock ‘n’ Roll Star has received a litany of plaudits and been described as “an enduring crystallization of the rock musician’s lot, and a quietly glorious period piece” by The Guardian. A brutally honest chronicle of touring life in the 1970s, and a classic of the rock writing genre, Diary of a Rock ‘n’ Roll Star remains the gold standard for rock writing. This edition includes new content from Hunter and a foreword from Johnny Depp.
