Welcome to 1985! A remarkable year filled with global humanitarian efforts through Live Aid, the iconic film Back to the Future, and the life-changing discovery of rock music by a fifteen-year-old named Richard Cosgrove.
Embarking on a journey that spans the vibrant eighties rock scene, the author takes us on a humorous, informative, and occasionally poignant adventure. With a passion for guitar, he immerses himself in a world of tight trousers, massive riffs, and towering hairstyles, determined to become a guitar hero in his own right. Along the way, he witnesses historic early tours by some of the biggest rock legends, encounters misadventures with US border guards at Niagara Falls, narrowly escapes death in a Leicestershire field, and gets caught up in a full-scale riot at Rock City.
I Was a Teenage Rock Fan is a captivating blend of memoir, social history, and a celebration of rock music's profound impact on society. It explores the era's significant events, from the advent of AIDS to the rise of MTV, Hollywood's influence, the controversial PMRC, and even an Australian soap opera. Prepare to raise your beer and unleash your air guitar, as this tale takes on an electrifying intensity that reaches eleven!
