'Finally, Will has written his masterpiece. I'm glad I could be of service.'Lawrence

'This book will make you laugh and cry - Lawrence is a monument to the power of Pop. The best and the worst of it. Essential reading.'Jarvis Cocker

'In a music world awash with fakes, straights and careerists on the make, Lawrence is that rare creature - an artist committed to realising his vision no matter how many humiliations and bad rolls of the dice he's had to endure. Lawrence is the one true poet of austerity Britain and Will Hodgkinson's wonderful book captures the essence and strangeness of the man.'Bobby Gillespie

'I can't tell you how good this book is'John Niven
