Fire up the crimpers and get backcombing! Hairspray and heartbreak
abound as the painted youth of the 1980s go on the rampage in a North
West London suburb. Further `Tales of a Rock Star's Daughter' by
Nettie, eldest offspring of Cream/Blind Faith drummer Ginger Baker,
follows on from her hilarious and critically acclaimed first volume.
Here she negotiates eviction and poverty and goes off the rails with a
new cast of maniacs. From a 1970 meeting with Jimi Hendrix, through to
Live Aid, Greenham Common, a cancer op and a brief glimpse of Cream's
2005 reunion. This is essentially a punk rock, pub-based soap-opera like
no other; set against venues long-gone and values out-dated, in the
smashed-up ruins of a changing world.
