Men of a Certain Age by Kate Mossman

Men of a Certain Age by Kate Mossman

An exploration of the allure of the ageing male rockstar by one of the UK's greatest music writers.

'Fascinating, funny and tenderI loved this book so much' -- Adam Buxton
'My favourite writer and interviewer, bar none. Whirligig, funny, incisive, often brutally honest - always surprising - but also tender and humane. She's a genius!' -- Jude Rogers
'Kate invariably notices something about her chosen subjects that 99 per cent of writers, who have been covering them for decades, miss entirely. This collection of her encounters with music's lifers abounds with such observations, proving once more that the thing we really want to do with rock stars is get close and have a damned good look at them' -- David Hepworth
'The greatest music writers compel you to understand the world as they are fated to understand it, along the way breathing new life to the records that shaped that world. If Kate Mossman's name is on it, then I want to read it. Simple as that' -- Pete Paphides
'Colourful ... insightful ... addictions, rivalries, dodgy hips and the demands of mega-fame are all pondered' 4/5 * Mojo *
'Each splendid piece offers[s] candid insights into the bizarre yet normalised process and curious dynamic we call an "interview" ... A kind of magic' 4/5 * Record Collector *
