{"product_id":"9781842430934","title":"I Am Still The Greatest Says Johnny Angelo","description":"\u003cp\u003eDespite persistent rumours of his death fifteen years ago, Johnny Angelo's legend continues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohnny Angelo is a rock singer, and this is his story from the beginning. As a child he is a\u003cbr\u003e dreamer and a solitary, a thief, a killer of birds and cats. As a man he is a god to his fans, an emperor to his cronies, a hoodlum to his enemies. Girls lie at his feet. He becomes rich. He commits murder. At the end, police shoot him down in the street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a cool and highly original style Nik Cohn has written a bizarre fable for our time, capturing its sickness and horror yet staying true to its grandeur and allure. \u003cem\u003eI Am Still The Greatest Says Johnny Angelo\u003c\/em\u003e is Nik Cohn's hymn to rock as myth, in all its crazed, absurd and glorious excess.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePartly based on the legendary rocker, P J Proby, Johnny Angelo is the pop star to end all pop stars - narcissistic, mock-heroic and massively destructive. The novel follows his progress from warped infancy to final messianic explosion. A top read, which David Bowie once claimed inspired Ziggy Stardust.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nik Cohn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47976484864149,"sku":"9781842430934","price":22.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9781842430934","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
