Sour Mouth, Sweet Bottom is the book Simon Napier-Bell's fans have
always hoped he'd write. His previous bestsellers lifted the lid on
the industry, combining brilliant analysis with unforgettable
stories of fame and wild excess. But those books hardly scratched
the surface. Now, at long last, he's turned the spotlight on
himself. From a childhood spent in the cinemas of post-war London
and a brief spell playing trumpet in the seedy bars of Montreal, to
getting stoned by the pool with Peter Falk and Jack Lemmon in
Beverly Hills and co-writing a hit single for Dusty Springfield,
this book is a kaleidoscopic sequence of more than sixty episodes
drawn from Simon's life that makes most memoirs look like thin
gruel by comparison. There are stories of the stellar acts Simon
has managed - from the Yardbirds and Marc Bolan to Wham! and Sinead
O'Connor - and there's also the wisdom gathered from a louche
existence of clubs, restaurants, gigs, award ceremonies,
bankruptcies, booze and sex, both gay and straight. You could call
the book 'How to Use the Music Industry to Create a Lifestyle'. You
might equally call it 'How to Use Your Lifestyle to Gain Access to
the Music Industry'. Either way, Simon pulls no punches, and the
result is a frank, funny and fascinating account of a life truly
like no other.
