My Rock 'n' Roll Friend
Tracey Thorn / Everything But The Girl - Book - by Tracey Thorn
(2021)
In 1983, backstage at the Lyceum in London, Tracey Thorn and Lindy
Morrison first met. Tracey's music career was just beginning, while
Lindy, drummer for The Go-Betweens, was ten years her senior. They
became confidantes, comrades and best friends, a relationship cemented
by gossip and feminism, books and gigs and rock 'n' roll love affairs.
Morrison - a headstrong heroine blazing her way through a
male-dominated industry - came to be a kind of mentor to Thorn. They
shared the joy and the struggle of being women in a band, trying to
outwit and face down a chauvinist music media. In My Rock 'n' Roll
Friend Thorn takes stock of thirty-seven years of friendship, teasing
out the details of connection and affection between two women who seem
to be either complete opposites or mirror images of each other.
This important book asks what people see, who does the looking, and
ultimately who writes women out of - and back into - history.
