Having spent his entire career as a professional singer,
songwriter, and musician, Thinking About Tomorrow is the amazing
tale of rock and roll survivor Keith West. From being inspired by
Elvis in the 1950s to pop stardom and working alongside the greats
of the music world in the 1960s, Keith was at the eye of the storm
alongside peers including The Who, The Beatles, The Kinks, The
Small Faces, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix and many, many more. With his
Tomorrow bandmates - Steve Howe, Junior and Twink - Keith was a
pioneer of psychedelic music in the 1960s with songs such as My
White Bicycle, and he also achieved international fame alongside
Mark Wirtz with the song Excerpt from a Teenage Opera (popularly
remembered by millions of music fans as Grocer Jack). Tomorrow
evolved from the R&B and mod bands Four + 1 and The In Crowd
and, while their recorded output is small, their influence on other
artists and the way rock music would develop is widely-regarded as
enormous. Steve Howe went on to continue his incredible guitar
adventures in Yes and Asia, and Twink would continue to influence
the rock world as a member of pioneering bands The Pretty Things,
The Pink Fairies, and Hawkwind. Keith would go on to have a long
career in the music business, embracing punk in the late 70s and
indie music in the 80s and 90s. But this is no straightforward tale
of rock and roll hedonism; the book also pulls back the curtain on
the mysterious world of the music industry. It reveals how agents,
managers, publishers, record companies, songwriters, artists and
the media are all locked together in an endless pursuit of the
elusive elixir of their professional lives - a hit. Yet, once
lightning has struck, the tragic consequences, the tremendous
opportunities and the money generated can still create ripples half
a century later...
