«A Viking artifact. The lunatic fringe running amok.
A seething mob of Punks and Skinheads jostling in a crowded club. A beautiful Jamaican woman. Dark, smokey neighborhood bars devoid of ferns and pretension. Welcome to Sab Grey’s Baltimore, a working class town teeming with life, shady goings-on and street level resistance to mindless thugs.
Follow “Grey,” haunted by a past that lives in his nightmares, as he moves between the worlds of blue-collar work, academia, a bi-racial love affair and a vibrant underground music scene. Hardcore legend Sab Grey takes the reader on an irresistible vertiginous caper worthy of Donald Westlake or Walter Mosley. His conflicted working class protagonist, “Grey,” fights Nazis and indulges in his love of history, music, women and booze. Filled with exhilarating action and the author’s unique insight into Skinhead/Punk culture, Grey’s SKINHEAD ARMY dares the reader to put it down. Funny, irreverent and compelling, SKINHEAD ARMY builds momentum to the frantic, caustic end.»
Plans are in the pipeline for the establishment of a museum and foundation in honour of the late Clement Seymour ‘Sir Coxsone’ Dodd, one of the pioneers who contributed tremendously to the growth and development of Jamaican music.
No irish no blacks no dogs è un mattone di 350 pagine che si legge con una rapidità estrema, e che racchiude la porzione cronologica compresa tra l’infanzia di John e l’inizio della carriera dei PIL; quindi – per forza di cose – tutta l’epopea delle pistole del sesso.
