Rebel Rebel
Escape the everyday humdrum with this exploration of iconic rebels from the past who became the biggest influencers of fashion, music and society by doing things their own way. From the internationally bestselling author of Punk and founder of the legendary Wag Club in Soho, Rebel Rebel presents 60 pieces on outsiders. Like a really good party, itâe(tm)s got musicians (Charlie Mingus, Fela Kuti, Joe Strummer), actors (Louise Brooks, Robert Mitchum, Daniel Day Lewis), artists (Egon Schiele, Man Ray, Jackson Pollock), directors (Fritz Lang, Kenneth Anger, Wong Kar-wai), photographers (Horst, Weegee, David Bailey), DJs (Andrew Weatherall) places (Paris in the Twenties, Muscle Shoals) and things (sunglasses, Levis, the pork pie hat). The stories in this collection are sharply written, often surprising and a pertinent reminder that most of the people (and things) of lasting significance are those who donâe(tm)t play by the rules. With brand new work and revitalised articles from the Chris Sullivan archives, Rebel Rebel will amuse, fascinate and inspire your inner rebel for years to come.
Lyric Flypaper Paging Chris Sullivan
I jotted "Lyric Flypaper Paging Chris Sullivan" in a composition notebook at a trio of connected metal-vinyl waiting chairs at the Wound Clinic, Medical Center of Louisiana New Orleans, all occupied and mine next to a large woman in an overwhelmingly aggressive perfume, nor a hopeful portent for the diagnosis I waited for; I'd make a book of the lyrics I'd written and stole from things and places and people like Jake Fussell telling me about Phenix City, and Butch Anthony saying anything, posted on telephone poles or assigned to 1st graders or a Brief Introduction of the Product Cushion, or the Citibank billboard that taught me to wonder: is your purse is the arena of president who dies? Songs from 1978-2013 including Chris and the Fifthwheels with Don Curran 1982-7 and Thingnamer with Jake, 2003

Trials and Tribulation
“Wartime airfields can be very atmospheric places. When you stand at Gransden Lodge at dusk, it’s very easy to imagine a huge Lancaster bomber taxying out onto a runway for takeoff...” Today, the peaceful countryside to the west of Cambridge is mainly given over to agriculture, but for several years in the mid-20th century, things were very different. Then, the area was dotted with airfields from which Allied aircraft flew to war – and one of these was Gransden Lodge. When the airfield first became operational, the units that were stationed there were involved in top-secret radar investigation and trials work, but within a year these units had moved away and the station became the ba...

Alfredo Hunter
Why does Alfredo keep telling stories? He has a story and a title for all occasions of his experience: A Jew in Tunisia, The Bloomsday Blackout. . . but the Hollywood Moguls are not interested in Alfredo's stories; so he writes a masterpiece for the theatre about the last night on earth of James Joyce.This is an Irish novel set in Los Angeles.

Punk
The art of Damien Hirst and the music of the Prodigy, the attitude of Liam Gallagher and the hair of Eminem - all owe a great debt to the cultural movement that burrowed through Andy Warhol's Factory and the early 1970s' New York underground, emerging triumphant, kicking and screaming at the top of the British popular music charts, some five years later. Affectionately known as 'punk', it was the spotty, scruffy, bastard offspring of many a grander musical form, but like many a prodigal, went on to become more successful than its forebears, leaving a legacy that is still recognised today.
