You don’t have to look far to uncover stories of rock stars’ bad behaviour. From the ’60s excesses of Keith Moon and Keith Richards through to more recent examples of the dangers of living large, including Oasis, Pete Doherty, and the late Amy Winehouse, the annals of popular music are rife with stories of sex, drugs, more drugs, and rock’n’roll.
For their latest collaboration, Brisbane writers David Burton and Claire Christian have tapped into this fertile and febrile history to write a comic account of boys behaving badly: Hedonism’s Second Album.
