Jeff Pike "The Death Of Rock And Roll: Untimely Demises, Morbid Preoccupations, and Premature Forecasts of Doom in Pop Music" (Faber & Faber)





Some of the less anthropic members of the world may want to see the rich and famous brought low. But for me, this is a fascinating look at The Hollywood Babylon of rock 'n' roll The book is split into sections depending on the type of death, from suicide, to drug overdose or by accident. This is a book that should not be read if you feel low, morose or suicidal. Cliically funereal and morbid in equal measure.
