#1.5 The Shooting Star
The Resurrection Tour Diaries: A Man Of Bad Humour
Simon Northouse What happens on tour stays on tour... right? Wrong! The diary of a reluctant and grumpy rock star, his dysfunctional band, a dodgy tour manager and the reunion tour from hell! This is Will Harding's acerbic and hilarious tale of life on the road. "If you like classic British humour... you'll love this!" I must admit, Geordie's joke was funny if told in the confines of a hotel room or backstage, but, one cannot say those things on a live radio broadcast! I wrote a letter of apology to the presenter and the radio station management and Chas donated a cheque for five thousand pounds to the local Catholic Church hoping it would assuage the outrage of the nuns. Alas, it still didn't stop rent-a-mob turning up outside the concert hall, shouting slogans and waving placards. "Burn the Satanists", "God will strike thee down", "Ban the Tasers" and my own personal favourite, "Stop cruelty to guinea pigs". I think that particular protestor may have got on the wrong bus. Robbo was going to inform the guy with the "Tasers" placard that he had spelt "Tsars" incorrectly, but I advised against it. No doubt, the tabloids will be screaming their feigned outrage in the morning. I can see the headlines now – "Rock Band's Bad Habits Continue", "An Unholy Mess" and "Sick Joke Is Nun Too Funny". Due to the death threats we received, we thought it wise to hire a car and head straight to London the minute we got off stage. It will be a very long time before we can play Bournemouth again—if ever—so there's always an upside to everything. Amazon Reviews "Luvverly Brit humour. If you have not read this series, start now! Hilarious, touching - and above all, REAL - these books are addictive." "Laugh-out-loud moments as the author conjures with words, puns, and even the irreverent aphorisms of foul-mouthed grandparents.""Funny, wry Brit humour. One of the funniest books I’ve read in years. Makes me want to read the whole series." "Witty, Wicked, and Occasionally Wise!"
