Rockin' the Suburbs

2157: Book Nook: Can’t Stand Up For Falling Down and Too Late to Stop Now by Allan Jones


Listen Later

It’s Book Nook time again, listener! Patrick takes you into the rock and roll literary world today with two hilarious, sharply written and observed volumes by Allan Jones. Jones wrote for Melody Maker starting in 1974 and went on to have a long career as a music writer and editor. These two volumes collect his best “Rock and Roll War Stories” and are both wonderfully entertaining.
