Summary
Bloomsbury presents Too Late To Stop Now by Allan Jones, read by Matt Bates.
More than 40 stories from the glory days of rock’n’roll, featuring Lou Reed, Elton John, Sting and The Clash.
Allan Jones brings stories – many previously unpublished – from the golden days of music reporting. Long nights of booze, drugs and unguarded conversations which include anecdotes, experiences and extravagant behaviour.
- A band's aftershow party in San Francisco being gatecrashed by cocaine-hungry Hells Angels
- Chrissie Hynde on how rock'n'roll killed The Pretenders
- What happened when Nick Lowe and 20 of his mates flew off to Texas to join the Confederate Air Force
- John Cale on his dark alliance with Lou Reed
Allan Jones remembers a world that once was – one of dark excess and excitement, outrageous deeds and extraordinary talent, featuring legends at both the beginnings and ends of their careers.

The greatest rock story teller ever
I discovered Allan Jones with his last book, catch stand up for falling down . Both this, and that will keep you amused and talking for days.

Fascinating view of inside the world of rocknroll
Loved the characters in this book and also in "Can't stand up for falling down". it was a fascinating era for RocknRoll with fantastic musicians, their brilliant and innovative bands and extraordinary characters. Alcohol and drug taking is a major theme for this book and I guess linked heavily with that world at the time. The end does leave you with a sense of loss of this era and of the myriad of characters from it. This book doesn't ridicules the characters (and the author) as much as the first book, but rather also his admiration and weaknesses of the great characters he examines. So much the better I feel. The story and the chacters are narrated brilliantly. A great listen and very much enjoyable.
