'Entertaining, affectionate and righteous' Guardian 'Says so much
about being a woman' Cosey Fanni Tutti A TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE
YEAR In 1983, backstage at the Lyceum in London, Tracey Thorn and
Lindy Morrison first met. Tracey's music career was just beginning,
while Lindy, drummer for The Go-Betweens, was ten years her senior.
They became confidantes, comrades and best friends, a relationship
cemented by gossip and feminism, books and gigs and rock 'n' roll
love affairs. Morrison - a headstrong heroine blazing her way
through a male-dominated industry - came to be a kind of mentor to
Thorn. They shared the joy and the struggle of being women in a
band, trying to outwit and face down a chauvinist music media. In
My Rock 'n' Roll Friend Thorn takes stock of thirty-seven years of
friendship, teasing out the details of connection and affection
between two women who seem to be either complete opposites or
mirror images of each other. This important book asks what people
see, who does the looking, and ultimately who writes women out of -
and back into - history.
