Former Soft Boys man Robyn Hitchcock remains a force. Catch him live anywhere around the globe and you’ll see a show that seamlessly blends paisley hippiness with new wave quirk. The man can pen a tune and, as it turns out, he’s quite the author too. This is his second memoir, and this writer admits to not having read the first, though it doesn’t matter. “Spanning from 1968 to 1978, it takes in the mythology surrounding Pink Floyd’s Syd Barrett (though it doesn’t name him) and hinges on Robyn Hitchcock’s teenage girlfriend (she isn’t named either),” they say.
