Nearly finished XS All Areas, the autobiography of Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt of Status Quo. Damn did those boys know how to party!!! :wacko:
I feel so outta touch. I\'ve never heard of this Rossi or Status Quo
from Wikapedia:
Francis Rossi was born 29 May 1949 in Forest Hill, London and is the co-founder of the British rock band Status Quo, where he sings lead vocals and plays lead guitar. He is also known as \'Mike Rossi\', \'Frame\' and more recently, \'The GOMORR\' (Grand Old Man of Rock \'n\' Roll). He wrote the first Status Quo hit single "Pictures of Matchstick Men", as well as many other hit songs like "Paper Plane", "Caroline", and "Down Down". He attended Sedgehill Secondary School.
A highly rated guitarist (within the music hierarchy) he has been with Status Quo for his entire musical career, although he has worked on albums by other artists and released some solo work, including the album King Of The Doghouse, which was not a commercial success.
His talent as an onstage frontman and his perfectionism mean that Status Quo remain a major live attraction after over 40 years on the road.
Having toured almost every year, Status Quo remain as one Britain\'s most active live bands.
