Annotation

Ian Hunter's diary of the brief, glorious period in the career of his band Mott the Hoople when they were riding high on the charts on the strength of "All the Young Dudes," a song donated to them by a pre-Ziggy Stardust David Bowie, is a minor classic of rock literature. Hunter's unselfconsciously warts-and-all approach to stardom encompasses cleaning up after his cat, paying the overdue electric bill, tactfully trying to accommodate a band mate's terror of flying (they're off on their landmark tour of the US), and being ferried to a meeting with Frank Zappa by Keith Moon in a Volkswagen that only functions if he continually turns the lights on and off. There's also drama, as when Hunter takes one of his characteristic confrontational approaches to an audience member who's tossed a bottle at the band. But despite DIARY OF A ROCK 'N' ROLL STAR's exposT of the mundane behind-the-scenes maneuvers it takes to keep a rock band's career afloat, Hunter never appears cynical--by the end of the book he's just as in love with rock & roll as he was at its start.
