Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen
On his childhood "I come from a broken home. I broke it." On drinking whiskey "I try to do a bottle a day. Whether I need it or not." On age and the libido 'I've had all my women...and yours.' Philosophy of life. 'I only care about my band and all the rest of you can go fuck yourselves.' On being an icon. "A geezer last night said 'Lemmy, you're God!' I said 'No, I'm not, God's much taller!" He is the ageless warty frontman of the loudest band in the world, Motorhead, the man who sang 'Silver Machine' for Hawkwind - and a remarkably lucid, trenchant, cynical and well-read thinker of our times, who can dissert with learning and authority on anything from the history of the Third Reich to the novels of P.G. Wodehouse and all matters equestrian. Now, the man who once used the word "terpischorean' without irony when narrating one of those Channel 4 "Hundred Best..." TV compilations is celebrated with a compilation of his finest bon mots, apophthegms and musings in the bottom of a glass of Jack Daniel's.

On drinking whiskey 'I try to do a bottle a day. Whether I need it or not.' On age and the libido 'I've had all my women...and yours.' On the Virgin Birth 'A virgin impregnated by a ghost? If Joseph believes that he deserves to live in a stable.' On being an icon 'A geezer last night said "Lemmy, you're God!" I said "No, I'm not, God's much taller!"' He is the ageless warty frontman of the loudest band in the world, Motorhead, and the man who sang 'Silver Machine' for Hawkwind. He is also a remarkably lucid, trenchant, cynical and well-read thinker of our times, who can dissert with learning and authority on anything from the history of the Third Reich to the novels of P.G. Wodehouse. Thinking Out Loud is an addictive compilation of the sagacious rock legend's finest musings. Author and professional appreciator, Paul Brannigan pulls together the best of Lemmy's gruff wisdom in this compact volume - as easy to pocket as a hip flask. Opining on subjects as varied as the music industry, fighting 'the Man' and life and death itself, this book is a must-have for all fans of rock and roll, and its most straight-talking protagonist.
