Description: "In 1986, Sylvia Patteson boarded a train to London armed with a tea-chest full of vinyl records, a peroxide quiff and a dream: to write about music, forever. Escaping a troubled home, she embarks on a lifelong quest to discover The Meaning of It All. The problem is she's mostly hanging out with flaky pop stars, rock 'n' roll heroes and unreliable hip-hop legends. Funny, frank and fearless, I'm Not With the Band is a gripping chronicle of thirty years in music and beyond. It is also the story of one woman's wayward search for love, peace and a wonderful life."--Back cover.
