Graham and the other Blur members have worked hard to build bridges and arrive at a point where they are able to pursue their own careers but come together to make music should they want to.

This is not the book to tattle, but then Blur never had much of an in-fighting problem, or so it would seem that way through Verse, Chorus, Monster!

Jag var både oerhört inspirerad av hans spelande samt konst, och han var faktiskt en stor motivator till att jag spelade gitarr (eller iallafall fortsatte). When Coxon talks about things that touch him, whether it be guitar pedals, painting, his road to sobriety, or motor bikes, his passion makes itself known in his writing. This audiobook includes Graham Coxon in conversation with Matt Everitt, recorded at a live event in Brighton in October 2022. Graham Coxon is an affable guy and a bit self-deprecating for some but it's those creative odds that pull Blur into different directions. I also came to understand how difficult it would have been for a sensitive creative child to grow up in a macho army environment and how that would have contributed to the crippling anxiety he struggles with still.

That being said, another review I've seen as I glanced at the page here pointed out that it feels rather straightforward. Coxon covers his alcoholism and trips on and off the wagon honestly, but he is also circumspect about the rumoured topic of ‘Beetlebum’ (Damon and Justine Frischmann’s heroin use), although this may be down to ignorance given the band’s inexpressive friendship. funny how old friendships and relationships shape us up when we are young and finding out who we are.

Before the noise and clamour of the Britpop era, Coxon was a shy Army kid tempering his anxiety through painting and a growing love of music. Damon (Albarn) är nog den mest 'utvecklade' personen i Coxon beskrivning, troligtvis pga att de har känt varandra så pass länge. And his wife was so abusive that he had to run away from home at the height of the pandemic, leaving his child, for whom he is VERY, VERY worried.
