Richard Blade’s autobiography is much more than a spotlight on any one decade. Instead, he gives you a jaw-dropping, uncensored insider’s look into the world of music, movies, and television and its biggest stars, starting in the sixties and continuing through to the new century. Richard takes you on a journey that few have experienced: from his early days as a student at Oxford to the wild, lascivious nights of being a disco DJ touring the clubs of Europe, to coming to America and working with Michael Jackson, Barbra Streisand, and Sarah Jessica Parker and finally breaking through into the L.A. radio scene and becoming the number one morning drive personality in California. From his TV and radio shows to his feature films and live gigs, Richard shares stories that have until now remained secret. His unique perspective will take you on the road with Depeche Mode, to Australia with Spandau Ballet, into the recording studio with Morrissey, and onto the main stage at Live Aid with Duran Duran. He opens up about his friendships with Michael Hutchence and George Michael, as well as his passionate love affair with Terri Nunn of Berlin. This is a no-holds-barred look at life, sex, and death, set to a pulsing backbeat of music. For the first time, Richard Blade shares his extraordinary story, allowing us to see the world through his eyes.

We all knew the hardcore new wavers growing up: the ones who knew that Depeche Mode’s “People Are People” album wasn’t a proper release but instead a compilation, who knew that the Go-Go’s printed the words “What we don’t know we make up” on the inner portion of the 45 for “Our Lips Are Sealed”, who frequented the local hotspots like 321, Perkins’ Palace and Florentine Gardens … for them and for those of us not old enough (or in my case, not old enough or cool enough) to go to the clubs but loved the music anyway, Richard Blade was right there with us – on radio station KROQ as well as TV shows such as MV3 and Video One (particularly indispensable for those of us without cable and thus without MTV). I admit I took Mr. Blade for granted – he was always just, well, there!The more you read, though, the more you learn that he wasn’t riding the wave – he helped create it. Several groups/artists credit him specifically with their success and, as we learn in the book, Blade helped curate the soundtrack to our generation (not alone, of course – his dad helped!).If you’d asked me how he achieved his success, I’d probably have said “I don’t know; I imagine he was a big DJ in England and got hired by KROQ, and the rest is history?” Hardly. His rise from DJ’ing small European clubs to partying with Spandau Ballet in Australia was a long and arduous one, meticulously detailed in the book. I got exhausted just reading about it, I can only imagine what living it was like.If you just want the stories about his interactions with the artists, you got ‘em. Sure, you’ll get your DMode, your INXS, your Morrissey, but you’ll also hear about some of the lesser-knowns like Felony (after reading the tragic story of Jeffrey Spry you’ll want to look Richard in the eye like Sean Maguire did to Will Hunting and say “it’s not your fault” again and again). Many of the tales will be revelations to most folks since they took place well before the advent of cell phones – for example, give iPhones to the hundreds in attendance at Mr. J’s one particular night in 1983 and the jaw-dropping story told in the No More Words chapter would have been immediately uploaded to YouTube and become familiar to millions. But I’d certainly never heard it.I can’t recommend this book highly enough – it’s inspirational, confessional, emotional (you’ll never hear Tears For Fears’ “Mad World” the same way again) and, most importantly, highly entertaining. On a personal note – if you get the chance to meet the man, e.g. at a book signing, try to do it – he’s every bit as personable as you’d expect him to be.
