Gary Valentine! Writer of the immortal "(I'm Always Touched by Your) Presence, Dear," and, as Voros should know better, bassist for Blondie. Count the strings!
Whoops, thanks man, in his intro he mentions playing guitar for Iggy so I made that mistake. He wrote a bio of his musical life under the Gary Valentine name New York Rocker: My Life In The Blank Generation With Blondie, Iggy Pop and Others 1974-1981 that I want to read too.
His recent bio on Colin Wilson was a bit disappointing as I found it rambled and repeated itself which is unusual for Lachman who is usually very readable and concise in his previous bios. It may be because I don't find Wilson's ideas very interesting, I prefer Wilson's fiction to his credulous writing on the occult and Lachman only touches on the fiction in passing. He was a good friend of Wilson and I think isn't his usual critical self.
His latest book is The Return of Holy Russia, which I've also just started, quite good so far.
