With a tagline of, “Writing on music, culture and more 1979-2025,” veteran music scribe and A&R man Tim Sommer’s book is, according to a statement, “a defiant, soulful map of the ephemeral nation built by lonely, weird young people who found their first true home in a Sex Pistols 45 or a picture of David Bowie.” Everyone from the Beastie Boys to The Beatles get a look-in, as Sommer dips into his past and tells/retells fascinating stories and unflinching anecdotes. Sommer offers it all up with a flourish and leaves the reader wanting more.
