Born

January 04, 1960

Website

Genre


English author Dave Thompson has spent his entire working life writing biographies of other people, but is notoriously reluctant to write one for himself. Unlike the subjects of some of his best known books, he was neither raised by ferrets nor stolen from gypsies. He has never appeared on reality TV (although he did reach the semi finals of a UK pop quiz when he was sixteen), plays no musical instruments and he can’t dance, either.

However, he has written well over one hundred books in a career that is almost as old as U2’s� whom he saw in a club when they first moved to London, and memorably described as “okay, but they’ll never get any place.� Similar pronouncements published on the future prospects of Simply Red, Pearl Jam and Wang Chung

“Had Kurt Cobain not committed suicide in 1994, would his genius have survived the continuous incisions of a media that was only too proud of its ability to chisel away at his fragile psyche in the years before he decided that he'd had enough off their invasions? And, had Jimi Hendrix not passed way in 1970, would he, too have eventually fallen into decline, first equalled, then eclipsed by the brilliant wave of new guitarists: Robin Trower, Ritchie Blackmore, Mick Ronson, who emerged during the early 1970s? In death, Hendrix led by example: in life he could have been left for the dead.”
Dave Thompson

“We live in a world packed with desensitising forces, that strip the world of magic. The world is full of negativity, but we fight back with positivity. We're inspired by oceans, forests, animals, Marx Brothers films. We can't help but project uplifting vibrations, because we love each other so much and get off on playing together.”
Dave Thompson, Red Hot Chilli Peppers: By the Way: The Biography

“If you haven't got your own mind and can't do what you want, you're not an individual, just part of a mass.”
Dave Thompson, The Wit and Wisdom of Ozzy Osbourne
