By turns hilarious, cautionary, poignant and powerful, the Stop
Me...stories collected here include encounters with some of
rock's most iconic stars, including David Bowie, Lou Reed,
Leonard Cohen, Van Morrison, Neil Young, Elvis Costello, The Sex
Pistols, The Clash, The Smiths, R.E.M. and Pearl Jam. From

punch-ups, hotel room confessionals and tour bus lunacy, these
are stories from the madness of a music scene now long gone.
