Cider with Roadies
Author: Stuart Maconie
Cider with Roadies is the story of a boys obsessive relationship with pop. A life lived through music from Stuarts audience with the Beatles (aged 3); his confessions as a pubescent prog rocker; a youthful gymnastic dalliance with northern soul; the radical effects of punk on his politics, homework and trouser dimensions; playing in crap bands and failing to impress girl Cider with Roadies is the story of a boys obsessive relationship with pop. A life lived through music from Stuarts audience with the Beatles (aged 3); his confessions as a pubescent prog rocker; a youthful gymnastic dalliance with northern soul; the radical effects of punk on his politics, homework and trouser dimensions; playing in crap bands and failing to impress girls; writing for the NME by accident; living the sex, drugs (chiefly lager in a plastic glass) and rock and roll lifestyle; discovering the tawdry truth behind the glamour and knowing when to ditch it all for what really matters. From his four minutes in a leisure centre with MC Hammer to four days in a small van with Napalm Death its a life-affirming journey through the land where ordinary life and pop come together to make music.
