This is the autobiography of British musician and DJ Rusty Egan and in the book he talks about his upbringing in Ireland, moving to England before he turned 6, served at St Vincents, got his first drum at aged 15, playing in his father's band, working for DJM and WEA Records, formed the Rich Kids in 1977 which they lasted a year and had 1 hit single, formed Visage in 1978 which they had 3 albums and hit singles including Fade To Grey and Mind Of A Toy, working on the club circuit as an DJ, co founded Camden Palace, encounters with Mick Jones and Madonna and many others. It's FANTASTIC as well as very impressive and very entertaining which it is well worth a read and he is still DJing as well as making music. This is a must for 70's and 80's music fans and I give it 4 stars as it's in the shops now so please do yourselves an favour and BUY IT which you will be impressed and amazed.
