Has anyone else read the book about Nico - "Songs They Never Play On The Radio"? Its well worth reading, its about her life in the 80's trawling around Europe doing gigs to fund her heroin habit. Not very glamourous. Drugs - just say no! |

Read it a few years ago and gave it to a friend, and haven't been able to find it again since. absolutely cracking. i particularly remember a line along the lines of 'the disappointment you feel when you think certain other people are only a phase in your life, and you turn out to be a phase in theirs'. arrow through the heart stuff. _________________ i'll tell you what's wrong with me, i'm looking at your tie you evil little fucker |

Its sad that she went through years of living a crap life and just when things seemed to be working out for her she died a such a random way.
A friend recommended it to me and I got it off Amazon for the bargain price of £1.70. It’s the first book in ages that I've read from start to finish in one go.
