For those of you that appreciate fine works of art, a great album by an ultra talented guy. I would also recommend A Cure for Gravity. Joe Jackson's autobiography, Interspersed with Joe's self-effacing tale of his journey from a sickly, bullied child (albeit one with an almost prodigious talent) from a council flat in Portsmouth to studying at the Royal Academy of Music and then struggling to become a professional musician and songwriter (and do 'the only thing he was good at') is a sprawling essay on music- how and why it affects people in the way it does, class and its connections (or lack of) to different types of music, and the musician's dilemma of choosing popularity and possible chart success over making less commercial music. Anecdotes about years of gigging around pubs and clubs whilst trying to make enough money to go into the recording studio seem almost quaint given the more recent state of the music industry, but give a real insight into the work that went into 'making it', albeit only 35 years ago. All in all, a touching, funny, fascinating and well written book which will appeal to anyone who loves music.Vollständige Rezension lesen
