Milton, in his preface to Paradise Lost, complained of “the troublesome and modern bondage of rhyming... the invention of a barbarous age.”
This is of course total bollocks. Had Milton had access to a modern rhyming dictionary in which all the words are listed in reverse alphabetical order, he would have realised that writing poetry is, in fact, a piece of piss.
This is an abridged collection of the work of legendary British rock poet and humorist Quentin Carnaby - the man who once famously said, “It is my life’s ambition is to be over-rated.”
The Sixties Were Crap also contains a brief history of Carnaby’s life and an exclusive interview with author Brian Luff.
