Book Description
An incredible love story, as well as a tale of hard-core rock and roll, The One & Only features an introduction by long-term fan John Cooper-Clarke, an extensive additional chapter, plus exclusive interviews with the reclusive Peter and his wife, Zena, and previously unseen photographs.Considered one of the great character studies in rock literature, few biographies get as close to their subject matter as The One & Only. Charting a musical career founded in criminality and impossible behaviour, alongside the survival of a now 40-year marriage despite both partners' chronic heroin addiction and Perrett's outrageous infidelity and pernickety expectations, this startling account of the enigmatic Peter Perrett and The Only Ones is shockingly candid and poignant. No ordinary rock n' roll story, Nina Antonia chronicles the ascent, retreat and eventual redemption of one of contemporary music's most ephemeral yet enduring figures. The One & Only also traces the dangerous rise of heroin use amongst a coterie of musicians surrounding Perrett, including Johnny Thunders and Sid Vicious.

Book Description
The study of religion and popular culture is an increasingly significant area of scholarly inquiry. Surprisingly, however, Christopher Partridge's The Lyre of Orpheus is the first general introduction to the subject of religion and popular music. His aim in this book is to introduce a range of theoretical and methodological perspectives to be used in the study of religion and popular music and popular music subcultures. He addresses a range of issues from postcolonialism to postmodernism, from sex to drugs, from violence to the demonic, and from misogyny to misanthropy. Part One provides a general overview of the history of popular music scholarship and the key approaches that have been taken. Part Two looks at approaches from the perspectives of theology and religious studies, examining key themes relating to particular genres and subcultures. Part Three narrows the focus and examines key artists and bands mentioned in Part Two, including Elvis, Bob Dylan, Madonna and Björk. Written to be accessible to the undergraduate, The Lyre of Orpheus will also appeal to general readers interested in the role of religion in our culture.
