In 1957, Jack Kerouac published On the Road, a loosely structured account of his hitchhiking adventures across America. Bruce Thomas' journey takes him around the UK and the USA. For both writers, the road becomes a metaphor for an inner journey -- as well as the actual roads being travelled. On the Road Again by Bruce Thomas is a compelling story of discovery. While holding down a career as both musician and writer, a series of deeply disturbing experiences, starting with a mugging, lead the author on a journey, first to Scotland and then to Arizona and New Mexico. Meetings with remarkable men and women who have extra-ordinary powers, lead to the discovery of a supernatural reality behind the natural world. The climax of On the Road Again is a solitary journey of initiation that leads to an earth shattering insight -- one that guarantees that life can never be the same again.
Satirical take on life on the road with Elvis Costello and the Attractions, by the band's bass player.
It began with an outrageous press trip to New York to launch unknown rock band Brinsley Schwarz, which went disastrously wrong, and it went on to launch the careers of Ian Dury, Elvis Costello and Joe Strummer. The pub rock scene of the early 1970s was one of the most eventful and important in British music history.
