Robert Forster gehört für viele Musikfans in eine Liga mit Nick Cave, Morrissey oder Lou Reed. Ein wortgewaltiger, dandyartiger Songwriter, der seit den später Siebzigern zum Besten gehört, was die literarisch geprägte Popmusik zu bieten hat. Mit dem Songwritingpartner Grant McLennan hatte er einen kongenialen Gefährten, der die gemeinsame Band The Go-Betweens zu einer nicht immer unkomplizierten aber stets faszinierenden Einheit macht. In diesen unkonventionellen Memoiren erzählt Robert Forster die nahezu 30 Jahre währende Geschichte der Band und seine besondere Freundschaft zu McLennan, der 2006 mit nur 48 Jahren für alle überraschend an einem Herzinfarkt starb.
