description: Tim Rogers - the front man and singer of hugely popular rock n'roll band You Am I - is a shambolic flamboyant and dapper Aussie flneur - a seeker after truth love and understanding. He's a contradiction: a hard drinking rock star with the soul of a poet; a wordsmith and a raconteur a romantic and a realist a bon vivant op-shop-dressed dandy. He's the wild man of Australian rock n' roll a man who loves footy who was brought up in the wild emptiness of Kalgoorlie but he's now an urban hipster - a legend of Australian rock music more at home in St Kilda than the bush.In this offbeat and immensely charming literary memoir Tim Rogers talks about what it is to be a man about accepting who you are about masculinity love drinking footy his father being a dad anxiety and above all his continuing magical ever-present muse - music.It is by turns revealing warm self-deprecating intimate shocking confessional sharp funny and immensely engaging.
