Description
IF YOU REMEMBER THE NINETIES...YOU WERE THERE! The Rock 'N' Roll Fifties. The Swinging Sixties. The trashy Seventies. The money-grabbing Eighties. There is a neat bunch of clichés for every era, but THE NINETIES... What the f**k was that all about? John Robb takes us on a personal odyssey through the definitive pop cultural moments that shaped the decade in the UK.
