David’s seventh book in his ‘orange series’ is just out and you’re guaranteed to love it. He and Mark discussed ‘Hope I Get Old Before I Die’ at a sold-out launch event at Waterstones in Piccadilly on the evening of September 3, recorded here. Among the highlights you’ll find …   … the rock career as a three-act play.   … the tour that started the Age Of Spectacle.   … why Live Aid was the dawn of pop nostalgia.   … the rock star who retired from retirement.   … Woodstock – “the Somme with Santana”.   … the terrible fallout in the Byrds.   … why no act is ever forgotten.   … Nick Lowe and the few others who got even better as they got older.   … band reunions are about symbolism not music.   … how the rock generation took power.   … why Ron Wood’s memoir can be read as either comedy or tragedy.   … bands that will achieve immortality.   … why Cameron Crowe’s Almost Famous seems like period drama.   … the worst group ever.   … and the only act that became bigger than the Beatles.     Order David’s new book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hope-Get-Old-Before-Die/dp/1787632784   https://linktr.ee/dhepworth Find out more about how to help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
