This collection of Nick Kent's writing over the last 20 years forms a companion volume to Charles Shaar Murray's "Shots From the Hip". Nick Kent was always the star of British rock journalism, wasted and addictive but capable of writing like a dark angel. He was always attracted to the darker side of rock music and that is the theme which runs through this book. Some call it "The Dispatches of Rock 'n' roll". Others, Nick Kent's big book of losers - Lou Reed, Sid Vicious, Iggy Pop, Syd Barrett, Brian Wilson, Brian Jones and others.
In The Dark Stuff Nick Kent profiles twenty-two of the most gifted and self-destructive talents in rock history. From Brian Wilson to Syd Barrett, the Rolling Stones to Neil Young, Iggy Pop to Lou Reed, he offers intimate portraits that are unimaginable in the world of today's market driven music business.
