520    This is a three-decade survivor's tale ... a scenic search
       for elusive human happiness through music, magazines, 
       silly jokes, stupid shoes, useless blokes, hopeless homes,
       booze, drugs, love, loss, A & E, death, disillusion and 
       hope - while trying to make Prince laugh, startle Beyonce,
       cheer Eminem up, annoy Madonna, drink with Shaun Ryder and
       finish off Westlife forever (with varying degrees of 
       success). In 1986, Sylvia Patterson boarded a train to 
       London armed with a tea-chest full of vinyl records, a 
       peroxide quiff and a dream: to write about music, for 
       ever. She got her wish. Escaping a troubled home, Sylvia 
       embarks on a lifelong quest to discover The Meaning of It 
       All. The problem is she's mostly hanging out with flaky 
       pop stars, rock 'n' roll heroes and unreliable hip-hop 
       legends. As she encounters music's biggest names, she is 
       confronted by glamour and tragedy; wisdom and lunacy; 
       drink, drugs and disaster. And Bros. Here is Madonna in 
       her Earth Mother phase, flinging her hands up in horror at
       one of Sylv's Very Stupid Questions. Prince compliments 
       her shoes while Eminem threatens to kill her. She shares 
       fruit with Johnny Cash, make-up with Amy Winehouse and 
       several pints with the Manics' lost soul-man Richey 
       Edwards. She finds the Beckhams fragrant in LA, a 
       Gallagher madferrit in her living room and Shaun Ryder and
       Bez as you'd expect, in Jamaica. From the 80s to the 
       present day, I'm Not with the Band is a funny, barmy, 
       utterly gripping chronicle of the last thirty years in 
       music and beyond. It is also the story of one woman's 
       wayward search for love, peace and a wonderful life. And 
       whether, or not, she found them
