An early architect of punk rock's sound, style, and fury, whose lip-curling sneer and fist-pumping persona vaulted him into pop's mainstream as one of MTV's first megastars, Billy Idol remains, to this day, a true rock 'n' roll icon. Now, in his long-awaited autobiography, Dancing with Myself, Idol delivers an electric, searingly honest account of his journey to fame - from his early days as front man of the pioneering UK punk band Generation X to the decadent life atop the dance-rock kingdom he ruled.

Story
People ask me how come I'm still alive, and I don't know what to say. When I was growing up, if you'd have put me up against a wall with the other kids from my street and asked me which one of us was gonna make it to the age of 60, with five kids and four grandkids and houses in Buckinghamshire and California, I wouldn't have put money on me, no f--king way. But here I am: ready to tell my story, in my own words, for the first time. A lot of it ain't gonna be pretty. I've done some bad things in my time. But I ain't the devil.

Story
John Farnham is the quintessential Aussie legend. As a teenager he gave up an apprenticeship to chase his musical dreams, hitting the big time with the catchy pop ditty 'Sadie (the Cleaning Lady)'. But it wasn't smooth sailing from there. A family man at heart and the most loyal of friends, John was sometimes uncomfortable with the spotlight and for many years struggled to make his music career as successful as those close to him - including Glenn Wheatley and Molly Meldrum - could see it could be.

Is There Ever Too Much John Farnham?

Publisher's Summary
For more than a quarter of a century, Philip Norman's internationally best-selling Shout! has been unchallenged as the definitive biography of the Beatles. Now, at last, Norman turns his formidable talent to the Beatle for whom belonging to the world's most beloved pop group was never enough.
Drawing on previously untapped sources, and with unprecedented access to all the major characters, here is the most complete and revealing portrait of John Lennon that is ever likely to be published.
Honest and unflinching, as John himself would wish, Norman gives us the whole man in all his endless contradictions - tough and cynical, hilariously funny, but also naïve, vulnerable, and insecure - and reveals how the mother who gave him away as a toddler haunted his mind and his music for the rest of his days.

A must for Beatle / Lennon lovers
Talented but complexed, this working class hero was created by many life events not of his own making. There are things here not in previous books on Lennon because they were pre-vetted by members of the Lennon family. What makes this special is the back history of Lennon’s early life from birth and how he later deals with changes that later affect him. More about Brian Epstein, Mimi, Julia and Alf and Lennon’s own engagements with the icons of modern music. One forgets they were all emerging at the same time. Then details of the later man, his dalliances and his final moments. A great piece of research. Not always a nice man - often chauvinistic, arrogant, hypocritical and intellectually confused: A man of many contradictions and paradoxes. Yet some of his nonsensical lyrics have stood the test of time and raised to the level of modern poetry. A man that was a Beatle, owed everything to their existence, yet hated and denigrated them, particularly Paul, for some years like an ex-errant wife. Yet no-one ever achieved what they did in such a brief period in time. More than ever, each brought their own contribution and the Lennon-McCartney domination put in a better perspective here thereby acknowledging the important contributions from Harrison and Star. They were the perfect storm. A must read for anyone interested in contemporary music.

I think it’s a nice portrait
I got a full understanding of Johns life.
I was completely fascinated by this biography ,
I felt changed by his life story and John will always be a hero until the end of time. Still so sad how his life was cut short after giving so much.
The narrator made it easy listening.Highly recommended
