JC Carroll was working in a bank and living in a bedsit in Kilburn writing songs on an acoustic Guitar when in in 1977 he joined a suburban punk rock group called The Members in less then 18 Months the Band would go from obscurity to Top of the Pops and then round the world. In a short period of time the band were catapulted from playing tiny pubs to Playing the Hammersmith Odeon with Devo, they flew to the USA and Did Shows with The Ramones, partied with and like Rock Stars until in 1983 when he arrived back in the UK with 20 dollars in his pocket an ordinary civilian again.
The book then traces his attempts to express himself musically whilst doing rubbish temp jobs until he finds himself running a successful fashion company at the height of acid house. A folk group a second hand Accordian and a chance meeting with a top film composer leads to a break into the world of Film music. He then records with Punk Rock Legends Johnny Thunders, Glen Matlock Rat Scabies and Dee Dee Ramone, before turning his hand to Celebrity Alternative Pantomine in West London.
A 50th Birthday party turns into a re-union for The Members and suddenly the band is up and running touring all over the UK Europe Usa and Australia and new Zealand but this time without road crew Management or a safety net.
Same old boring Sunday Morning is a great book about a Rock and Roll survivor, it’s got bromance, camaraderie and bitchiness. its often hilarious, sometimes sad but never boring.
