Book Reviews of Re-make/Re-model: Becoming Roxy Music
Book Review: It's a History Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This may be much more significant as a picture of England in that strange and significant decade of the Sixties than as a book about pop and a particular group. It is the story of how cultural clashes and interrelationships form into something else. How the quickening sources of trans-Atlantic rock and roll stars and pop art fed and nurtured and inspired musicians and artists who kind of felt the Beatles and the Stones were not quite "IT". Who were aware of the Irony of it all, the disillusion, the questioning, the rebelliousness, the hypocrisy of society, the sense of it all having been done, but still the need to create. And who also had a sense of history themselves, who actually liked Frank Sinatra as well as Otis Redding and Bob Dylan. As somebody said, Bryan ferry doesn't meet Eno until threequarters through the story - but that is exactly why it is such a good story. You kind of know what happened then. It's hard work but truly rewarding and tells of things you had no clue about. Newcastle-upon-Tyne?? Who knew?
