Recklessness, thy name is rock. Age the rock superstar, like age the cowboy, has passed. Just like the cowboy, the idea of the rock superstar lives on in our imaginations. What did we see in them? Swagger. Recklessness. Intimate charisma. Damn-the-torpedoes self-belief. A particular way of holding themselves. Good hair. Interesting shoes. Talent we wished we had. What did we want of them? To be larger than life but also like us. To have out their melodies. To remain young permanently. No question many didn't stay the course. In Unusual People, David Hepworth zeroes in on determining moments and turning items in the lives of 40 rock actors from 1955 to 1995, taking us on a voyage to burst a hundred common myths and create a hundred more. As this tribe of exclusively motivated nobodies went about turning themselves into the ultimate somebodies, they also designed us, our real lives and our fantasies. Unusual People isn't only their history. It's ours as well.
