What happens to people like me who were once "pop" stars? Am I
destined for a life of daytime television appearances, reunion
tours and well-meaning strangers struggling to recognize me before
hesitatingly asking "didn't you use to be Marc Almond?"' Despite an
impending 45th birthday, a milestone age that can often result in
some sort of mid-life crisis, Marc Almond, singer and songwriter,
is not quite ready to take his place on the 'they were once famous'
line-up. In Search of the Pleasure Palace, is Marc Almond's search
for meaning in life now that he is in the Indian summer of his
career. In this rollercoaster journey, Marc goes in pursuit of the
thrills, spills and bellyaches that made each day of his youth
memorable and created an image of him that was decadent, debauched
and worryingly misunderstood. From swingers nights in
Henley-on-Thames to the lost absinthe bars of Barcelona, from
Russia's surreal underbelly to the pre-Giuliani clean-up of New
York, Marc is your observant guide to a world that he was once
master of -- through fantastic, wry anecdote.
