The Sharper Word by Paolo Hewitt
Since the celebrated rise of Britpop, the peculiarly British mod phenomena has been back in the media spotlight. Now paolo Hewitt, celebrated rock journalist and biographer of Oasis, The Jam and The Small Faces, has collected together some of the best writings on mod: the music, the fashions and the entire way of life. Going beyond the surface cliches, Hewitt's hugely readable collection fully documents one of the most misunderstood cultural movements of our time with writing as sharp as the creases in a zoot suit.
Hewitt, Paolo: - Paolo Hewitt has been for over thirty years one of the U.K.'s foremost writers on popular music. Cutting his teeth at the NME for seven years in the eighties, he also moonlighted as the 'Cappuccino Kid', whose musings and manifesti adorned the covers of Style Council albums. Paolo has written over twenty books, including Getting High: The Adventures of Oasis, Forever the People: Six Months on the Road with Oasis, Steve Marriott: All Too Beautiful (with John Hellier), and the novel Heaven's Promise (all available from Dean Street Press). Other than music, recurrent themes in his writing include mod culture, football and fashion.
