NOW UPDATED WITH A NEW EPILOGUE In the summer of 1964; aged twenty; Ray Davies led the Kinks to fame with their number one hit lsquo;You Really Got Mersquo;. Within months; they were established among the pop elite; swamped by fans and fast becoming renowned for the rioting at their gigs. But Rayrsquo;s journey from working-class Muswell Hill to the Rock rsquo;nrsquo; Roll Hall of Fame was tumultuous in the extreme; featuring breakdowns; bitter lawsuits; spectacular punch-ups and a ban from entering the USA. His relationship with his brother Dave is surely the most ferocious and abusive in music history. Based on countless interviews conducted over several decades; this richly detailed and revelatory biography presents the most frank and intimate portrait yet of Ray Davies.

Scott does a wonderful job not only of describing the construction of these cathedrals but also of the times in which they were built. He covers all the aspects of life back in the medieval ages. Knowing all that I know now makes me even more in awe of the majesty of these beautful cathedrals. Nothing built today will be around in 100 years; let alone 600 years.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy JMMinksA good read before going to Europe and seeing the beautiful architecture1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A little disappointingBy whiskey DeltaWe all have our biases. The author bias; for me; is a little too evident. If comment on values of a cathedral community are going to be expressed; it could; perhaps; be in the context or comparison to; the "outside" world values and practises.
