''A controversial and honest account.'' NME
''Music journalism at its best.'' THE WORD

A story of money, sex, stardom, screaming fans and forgotten ideals, Like Punk Never Happened is Dave Rimmer’s witty, authoritative, fast-moving and provocative insider account of the roller-coaster ride that was Boy George & Culture Club and the new ‘80s pop.

''Rimmer is among the most entertaining writers ever to pen a rock book.''
ROCK AND ROLL CONFIDENTIAL

‘The funniest, smartest book I know about the connections between pop glitter and real-life human passion, the erotics of fandom, or the dirty details.’
ROB SHEFFIELD, author of Talking to Girls about Duran Duran

''As sharp a study of British pop as we''ll get.''
SIMON FRITH, CITY LIMITS
