About this product
Product Information
This is a memoir as wry, funny, moving and vivid as only the inimitable John Cooper Clarke could deliver. His book will be a joy for both lifelong fans and for a whole new generation. John Cooper Clarke is a phenomenon: Poet Laureate of Punk, rock star, fashion icon, TV and radio presenter, social and cultural commentator. At 5 feet 11 inches (32in chest, 27in waist), in trademark dark glasses, tailored suit, shock of black hair and mouth full of gold teeth, he is instantly recognizable. As a writer his voice is equally unmistakable and his own brand of sick humour is never far from the surface. I Wanna Be Yours covers an extraordinary life, filled with remarkable personalities: from Nico to Chuck Berry; Bernard Manning to Linton Kwesi Johnson; Elvis Costello to Gregory Corso; Mark E. Smith to Gil Scott Heron and Joe Strummer and on to more recent fans and collaborators like Alex Turner, Plan B and Guy Garvey. Interspersed with stories of his rock and roll and performing career, John also reveals his mind-boggling encyclopaedic take on popular culture over the centuries: from Baudelaire and Edgar Allan Poe, to Pop Art, pop music, the movies, fashion, football and showbusiness - with more than a few laughs along the way.Product Identifiers

Never made it to the end, lost interest
Sorry John, this book is naff. Starts out ok in the introduction, your comical observations and erudite wit sucks one in. Thereafter, chapter by chapter, it becomes clear, the content is just a string of cliches. Still because the copy I have is not well thumbed, almost in as new condition, I can stick it in the Christmas Stocking of a friend who is more sycophantic than myself, so it isn't a complete waste of money. Although I guess I be seeing the book again in the bargain base 10 for the price of one bin at the charity shop. I don't wanna be yours.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

I hope it's genuine
I've bought this as a Christmas present for my daughter, who is a big JCC fan. I know she'll love it. I just hope it's a genuine 1st edition, 1st print as described but, even if it isn't, she'll still be thrilled with it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
