Ska'd for Life: A Personal Journey with The Specials

As many of my friends on GoodReads may have noticed I do enjoy the odd music related autobiography/ biography and this is certainly no exception. Horace’s book is very well written very funny and very insightful. I would go so far as to say it comes close to my favourite music biog of all time (no not a Bowie one!); “Diary Of A Rock ‘n� Roll Star� by Ian Hunter.
“Ska’d For Life� should be read by anyone in a band, especially if you’re just starting out, anyone who loves music and obviously anyone who is a big fan of the Specials.
There were the usual poignant and laugh out loud moments and having not known much about Horace Panter (or may I call him Alice Pinter) before reading this (well other than knowing he played bass guitar for the Specials) I now find it hard not to like him.
So then, great bloke, great book and why the hell have you not read it yet?
