The era of the rock star, reminiscent of the cowboy, has come to an end. While the cowboy's image continues to captivate our imaginations, the concept of the rock star remains a vivid part of our cultural landscape. What did we find appealing in these icons? Swagger, a sense of recklessness, undeniable sexual charisma, an unyielding self-belief, a distinctive manner of carrying themselves, impeccable hair, and intriguing shoes. What did we desire from them? To be larger than life yet relatable to us. To bring their songs to life. To maintain a youthful spirit forever. It's no wonder that many couldn't sustain the path they chose.

In his captivating book, Uncommon People, David Hepworth delves into the defining moments and turning points in the lives of forty rock stars from 1955 to 1995. This remarkable journey takes readers on a quest to challenge and create a hundred myths, while also illuminating the profound impact these individuals had on our own lives and fantasies. Uncommon People is not just a story about these rock stars; it is a story that resonates with us, as we were shaped by their remarkable journeys and their pursuit of becoming the ultimate somebodies.
