Sweet, lovely, and heartfelt memoir/history of Goth from the Cure's original drummer, who kindly explains his point of view on the matter. There aren't a lot of surprises here -- no gossip and no pictures of Mary or anything like that. (Some good ones from the Batcave tho!) It's more of one man's take on what the scene he helped create means now and meant in the late 70s and 80s.
An accessible primer for all young Goths and something every elder Goth will want to read, and perhaps own, Tolhurst's history is a gift to anyone interested in an often-maligned but quite persistent and (actually) pervasive subculture.
