Mind the Bollocks: A Riotous Rant Through the Ridiculousness of Rock 'n' Roll

Rock star egos, concept albums, pretentious behavior, nonsense songs, and silly sunglasses are all targeted in this bile-spitting, spleen-venting, comical rant through the utter ridiculousness of rock 'n' roll's raucous history
 
Like the author's bitingly hilarious Crap Lyrics, this book celebrates the rampant stupidity, misguided experimentalism, and occasionally inspired mania that has made rock 'n' roll so much more exciting than just a form of music. The book exposes, celebrates, and condemns the "culture of nonsense" that surrounds rock, uncovering truths such as the manager who advised the Rolling Stones to sack Mick Jagger in 1962, and the reviewer who told Michael Jackson that his new album Thriller was a right old stinker and he should fire his whole production team. Diving head first into the whirlpool of lurid folklore and cultural exotica surrounding rock 'n' roll, this riotous screed surfaces with a few pearls of truth, as well as the odd discarded Rolls Royce.
