Dave Haslam

Sixth Art Decades book. Short and sad. I remember Cressa being very visible in early Stone Roses appearances, and didn't know what happened to him following their general demise. This essay fills in some of the gaps. It's not a happy tale, but does at least end with things starting to look up a little.

The fifth Art Decades book takes up a slice of political history that I'd never heard of - the Angry Brigade urban terrorist group. Interesting stuff.

The fourth book of the Art Decades series and the one Dave Haslam told me was the best when I spoke to him at an event. I'm not sure I agree - I liked the Courtney Love one better - but it's certainly fascinating and gave me a new impression of Sylvia Plath (who to be fair I know little to nothing about) as she runs around Paris with various men in tow.

The third book in the Art Decades series is based around Courtney Love in 1980s Liverpool. Courtney Love is such a fascinating character and seems like she was even then, as a teenager. Really enjoying this series of books.
