Description: "This book has elements of light and darkness, of high humour, arrogance and humility, fear, coldness, anger and hardness of heart, success, failure, drugs and depression, first love and sorrow, friends won and lost. It's a true story from the inside out of what it was like to live in the '50s and '60s, as a Kiwi and a musician, in an era where everything was changing from music and art to language and dress codes, from radio to television and above all, where free love was on the rise, with the backdrop of distant war. I've written my inside story, and this is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.."-- P. ix.
