Recenzii
Music fans looking for more vintage fare will enjoy Too Late To Stop Now.
The old-school drinking and industrial drug abuse remain, as does the author's decisive indiscretion... many of the chapters unfold at greater length, leaving room for more nuanced reflection on the consequences of all the excessive ribaldry... But mostly, there is comedy... It's ridiculous fun.
This unputdownable book ... is rammed with finely recounted anecdotes. This is a first-class Rolls Royce Phantom of a book.
That the book's subtitle is More Rock'N'Roll War Stories speaks volumes. Because if you want blood, Allan Jones has got it.
Jones turns it up to 11 with his latest collection. These are captivating and absolutely delightful tales of rock's wonder and power.
There's unexpected music in Jones's sentences. (Genesis reminded him "less of a rock band than the bell-bottomed equivalent of the school chess team on an outing to an owl sanctuary.") Also unexpected: the disclosure that concludes Too Late to Stop Now. It's 2021, and Jones is invited to tag along on one last gig but realizes that, although "[f]orty-five years ago... I would have jumped on the bus without a second thought," he would prefer to go home to his memories. How lucky for rock diehards that he shares those memories here.
[Jones] knows when to joyfully exploit a glib moment and when to relent to the darkness, like when he goes into extensive detail with Chrissie Hynde about the tragic collapse of the original Pretenders. And there are times when he dead centers the bullseye while taking the measure of his subject. [... If you are looking for a book that gives] a real sense of what real rock and roll was like on either side of the Punk detonation, then look no further.
Seldom has a rock 'n' roll memoir been so falling-down funny. Jones doesn't sit there politely with his notebook and write down the same rote publicist-approved quotes. He waits until they're completely sloshed, without inhibitions, and then the truth comes out.
[The book's best pieces] combine Jones' intimate interactions with his interview subjects over time with the sodden interviews recounting them to create insightful portraits of individuals and informed histories of their bands.
