AUTHOR LIVES IN MELBOURNE, VICTORIA. Andrew Clarke is a lifelong music fan. From his early days embracing The Sweet and Kiss, his interests took a sharp turn with the Sex Pistols, and he's never stopped craving music with meaning. He managed a band in the 1990s that he still believes should have become megastars; instead, they all learned about the harsh realities of the industry. Andrew lives in Melbourne, Australia, with his two now-adult children, who share his musical fascination and obsession to varying degrees, and a vinyl collection that continues to expand.
