James Maker’s Eye-popping, Gun-toting, High-heeled Memoir Published
'Former Raymonde and RPLA front-man James Maker’s much-anticipated autobiography ‘Autofellatio’ is finally published – on Kindle. I’ve said it before, but it’s worth repeating: it’s extravagantly funny and well-written. Glitteringly epigrammatic, it’s a rock-and-roll Naked Civil Servant in court shoes.
And I’m not just saying that because in the chapter about his life-long friendship with the singer Morrissey, titled ‘Gide the Ripper’, he praises Saint Morrissey as the ‘the most incisive biography’ of Moz. This was an especially kind thing to say since ‘Gide the Ripper’ even in its brevity is a much better biography than Saint Morrissey.
Oh, and in case you think that I might have done something as vulgar as some actual research for St Moz – such as talking to people who know him – let me reassure you that James and I didn’t meet or communicate until after he’d bought and read my ‘psycho-bio’. And then we found we couldn’t stop talking.
No one will believe it, but we hardly discuss ‘M’ at all. Though if you read James’ memoir of his idiosyncratic life you’ll realise there’s plenty of other eccentric subjects to talk about.'
