The Uncool

‘A warm-hearted memoir as lively, sentimental and plain envy-inducing as the movie it inspired back in 2,000 … one of the most fascinating sections of the book sees him reunite with David Bowie three decades after their time on the road’ Adam White, Independent ‘Charming, nostalgic, gently revealing … such an enjoyable read… Crowe has a writing style that matches his personality: laid-back and inviting, with flashes of wit’ Thomas W. Hodgkinson,Spectator ‘The Uncool captures an extraordinarily inventive period in which rock music was stretching out in all directions … He succinctly evokes both eccentric characters and the era they represented … Crowe shows that music can sometimes be a key, not only to the deepest aspects of one’s own self, but to the otherwise incomprehensible inner lives of others’ Guardian (Book of the Day) 'Crowe's strongest suit is pen pictures of people, scenes and situations that draw you back to the sights, sounds and, yes indeed, smells, of the music scene of the early 70s … A heartwarming affair' Johnny Sharp,Classic Rock Magazine ‘The book is not a salacious celebrity memoir, but a tender chronicling of his Rolling Stone years, where he earned the trust of musicians and witnessed now-iconic concert moments. He also goes deep on his upbringing and family life, and the time he may or may not have prank-called Lucille Ball’ Rolling Stone ‘A delicious tale of a devotee who worships at the altar of rock and roll … It’s a love letter to fandom, sealed with Cameron’s trademark sincerity and heart’ Maggie Rogers ‘We know his voice: the journalist/adventurer, the cinematic novelist, and now the raconteur of his own literary self. He sculpts and weaves the events of his experience into scenes and language that often turn into something like a manifesto … His clarity of observation and memory, his choice words, his people – Cameron Crowe, wonderfully, continues to serve us’ Wes Anderson
