Vive Le Rock Book Review

Great review of my book PUNK ROCK STORIES AND TABLOID TALES in Vive Le Rock magazine...

Garry Johnson Joins The Establishment

Punk Poet and Cockney Bard GARRY JOHNSON joins the Establishment.

Just heard from my publisher and THREE of the top UK universities have ordered copies of my memoir PUNK Rock Stories And TABLOID Tales.

Oxford, Cambridge, Trinity College Dublin plus the Library of Scotland and National Library of Wales.

Students will be able to get my book in the Library.

Also and hard to believe - but I have it in writing - from October my poems and book will be part of a University course.

The David Bowie Tribute Is On Hold

Many people have asked why the Facebook tribute to DAVID BOWIE stopped after 100 days.

One:

It was getting me down starting each day with such a sad memory.

Two:

I am to be honest working on so many things at the moment that every minute is precious.

Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales ( Part 2 )

The follow-up to `Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales` is taking shape and due to be published in October.

Part Two will be more hard-hitting and revealing then it`s predecessor.

I have stripped away the shackles of self-censorship so the follow-up will be x-rated and concentrate on adult themes.

More sex, more drugs and more about the darker side of showbiz.

I will tell all about the illegal `Gagging Order` that was revoked by The High Court and publish extracts from the documents I obtained by using The Freedom Of Information Act.

This time I will name `names` take all skeletons from the closet and reveal where all the `bodies are buried`.

Part One was just a `starter` whereas this is the main course.
