Just buy it. - By: Warren Zevon RIP, 21 Sep 2008
I liked this so much I bought some other ones for friends. Drummond is maddeningly opinionated but it all adds to the fun. Along with Julian Cope, he is the only famous person of his generation to have ambition beyond hit singles & being on a reality show. Although,in fact, Drummond almost WAS on a Celebrity Big Brother series. Like all Drummond's productions, this book is lovingly designed & adds class to even the dustiest of living rooms.
He's seen the future and it's.... - By: M. Smart, 03 Sep 2008
Part musical memoir, part biography, part documentation of art practice, part philosophical discourse on the nature of art & music.
And along the way lots of typical Drummond musing & digression.
The easy criticism is that it's just middle aged angst of a man desperately clinging to youthful passions. But Drummond takes his passions more seriously than that & is willing to fight for them.
And like much of what Drummond does the ideas have an appeal that has you examining things from the perspectives they throw up even as you realise their contradictions, failings or even untruth. But then these aren't really ideas to be taken literally - they're philosophical & artistic exercises, means of approaching problems from a new direction & hoping to throw new light on them. A challenge to every day conceptions.
