Get set for seeing The Who with the new book PRETEND YOU'RE IN A WAR: THE WHO & THE SIXTIES
Both a band biography and an exploration of an era, this is the definitive account of one of the greatest groups in rock & roll.
PRETEND YOU'RE IN A WAR is both a band biography and an exploration of an era. Written by Mojo & Q Magazine journalist Mark Blake (author of the Pink Floyd biography Pigs Might Fly), this is the definitive account of one of the greatest groups of the 1960s.
Based on the author's own interviews with Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey and John Entwistle, and fresh testimony from The Who's earliest friends, record producers, managers and fellow musicians. From their breakthrough as Mod figureheads to the rise and fall of psychedelia, Blake reveals how The Who, in their explorations of sex, drugs, spirituality and class, refracted the growing turbulence of the time. He also lays bare the colourful but crucial role played by their managers, Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp. The book gets to the heart and soul of what made The Who: the uneasy alliance between art-school experimentation and working-class ambition.
