Thomas Truscott – wannabee rock star in his last year of school, battling the establishment, prefects, the Vietnam war, and most of all, himself. ‘It is the best of times. It is the worst of times. It is the age of wisdom. It is the age of foolishness. It is the age of ‘The Who’ and ‘The Beatles’. It is the time of Dylan. It is the season of Light. It is the season of Darkness. Nobody is who they think they are. Everyone is whoever they want to be. It is the autumn of despair, the winter of preparation, the spring of hope. And the Summer of Love. We have everything before us. Everything is original. Everything borrowed. People come only in two types: those who ARE Rock and Roll and those who ain’t'; illustrations by Martin Sharp; music by Robert Wolframm (‘This is it!’, ‘Communist Girls’) on 45RPM inserted inside back cover.
