Another book I picked up at the library the other day was Simon Reynolds's Rip It Up And Start Again; Postpunk 1978 - 1984. According to Q magazine, This remarkable and perfectly timed cultural history is required reading, which begs the question, required of whom? It certainly illustrates, often in an unintentionally hilarious manner, the deep idiocy of a number of people involved in what one might term the music business, and the spectacular degree of self-involved stupidity of which reasonably intelligent young people can be capable.
Simple lesson here: a preoccupation with image, especially one's own, is not to be recommended. Oh, and never, ever fall for the next big thing.
