Ireland’s Most Expensive Fanzine: Riot 77 Issue 19

Two of my absolute favourite publications are the Irish fanzines, Loserdom and Riot 77. They could hardly be more different in style.

About this ebook

Philip Lynott packed a vast amount into his 36 years. An instantly identifiable singer, charismatic stage performer and supremely gifted songwriter, the guiding spirit of Thin Lizzy combined the instincts of a wild man with the soul of a poet.
The first biography written with the cooperation of the Lynott Estate, Cowboy Song explores the fascinating contradictions between Lynott's unbridled rock star excesses and the shy, sensitive "orphan" raised in working-class Dublin.
