About a boy growing up in late 70's England who get's the music bug from his father. The trad Jazz start soon becomes a Heavy Rock/ Heavy Metal obsession. After moving to LA at 14, concert going soon led to live tape trading and fanzine writing. Living four blocks from the beach without parental guidance allowed for an interesting development. Forced repatriation to England at 18 is described with humor and poignancy. An interesting look at 80's culture and finishes in 2014. A very varied tale!
