Louise Wener: memoirs of a rock chick

We’re on tour with Blur and if I’m going to be bigger than Damon Albarn, and I definitely am, it might be a good idea to start taking notes.

Note one: [Blur guitarist] Graham Coxon has asked me to marry him. He is drunk. He asks everyone to marry him. Graham Coxon is great company at the start of the evening, funny and gentle and sharp. But you have to tread carefully when Mr Spectacles is on the sauce; there’s a moment when he tips over to splenetic. He has a tendency to insult people to their face. Strangers. Passers-by. Couples quietly drinking in the hotel bar. He is a harsh critic. It is sometimes uncomfortable.

Note two: the way to get groupies, should you require the attention of such, is to ask your tour manager to go out into the crowd, select the best-looking girls and give them passes to your after-show party. In this case they’re called Blurjob passes. Mostly the tour manager is spot-on with his choices but every so often a lesser specimen gets through. No matter. Alex James is magnanimous in these cases. He walks up to one girl with glasses and cheerfully informs her: you’re ugly but I’m going to f*** you anyway. She looks grateful.

Note three: all manner of rock-star excess is to be encouraged on this tour but you must never, under any circumstance, mess with Blur’s sweaty plate of foreign cheeses.

“Come on, they’ll never notice. I’m sick of Twiglets and besides, they’ve got loads.”

“I dunno, they’re much more observant than… ooh, look at that, they’ve got Jarlsberg!”

We only meant to eat a Dairylea triangle-sized amount. We didn’t mean to decimate the entire plate. I’m hoping that by rearranging the grapes and organising the crackers into an elaborate fan-shape we might have gone some way to covering our tracks, but I don’t think we have. Dave the drummer has been sent to find us. He looks like a dog chewing a wasp at the best of times but he really looks like one now that he’s chewing us out. The band are properly angry, he barks. They may have to drop us from the tour. We scuff our feet like we’re in front of the headmaster, but honestly, I don’t know what their beef is: it’s not like we touched their champagne buckets, it’s not like we messed with their fruit. Even so, it’s a major transgression. The fab four lock down. For 48 hours, Graham stops asking me to marry him.

We’re all drunk and merry at an after-show party.

“Don’t worry about it.”

“I won’t, then.”

“It’s forgotten about.”

“Good.”

“But don’t ever do it again.”

With customary generosity, now the Jarlsberg episode has been safely put behind us, Damon hangs his arms around me, and gives it to me straight.

“Course, the way to be successful in this game,” Damon slurs, “is to make all the boys wanna be you and all the girls wanna sleep with you. In your case… that’d work in reverse.”

“I see.”

They are, I can’t help thinking, an odd and annoying and intermittently disarming bunch. Damon bossy and arrogant; Graham shy and sweet with the black dog inside of him; Alex louche and pompous. And Dave, the straight man who doesn’t seem as mannered as the rest. You don’t catch him with his arms wrapped around his bandmate’s girlfriends; he doesn’t raise his glass and clink it, salute you with his floppy fringe, and purr “chin chin”.

On some nights it’s just us and the band and various groupies and hangers-on at the after-show parties. The fab four disappear off into the shadows, with big-busted blonde girls, and skinny eager brown-haired ones. On other nights they relax with their entourage, shipped out to the provinces from the trendier climes of Notting Hill. Damon’s squeeze, Justine Frischmann, Alex’s squeeze, Justine something else, who looks just like her, and various other confident, diffident types that gather round the bar drinking and smoking and getting high on whatever it is they’re high on at this point.

OMG they ate Blur's cheese! You NEVER touch Blur's cheese!

see? just a little jealous or something? Idk... maybe Damon or Alex wouldn't sleep with this chick so she wrote that nasty piece on them.

When I was 12 I didn't even know what sex was about so I really don't get the Coldplay section gals. Then again, our entire class was all about Leonardo Di Caprio (sp?) when we were 9 or 10 with the exception that we thought he was cute, not hot.

They overreacted a bit on this one! But cheese is a very special food, especially Blur's cheese.

Does tumblr offer rss feeds (or whatever they're called)? In that case I could follow your tumblr's from my blog. I think.

Ly, that's perfectly fine. Will put my username in the profile now.

it is rather strange, finding a 40 year old man attractive at the age of 20

i really am starting to get very addicted to it now! i cant help checking on there every time i come onto the internet. quite an inspiring little place, interesting people.

I was so innocent at 12 xD

Yeah I bet she was upset! But what they do with hot fangirls sounds a bit cliche... wtf with the manager digging chicks for them?

@Emily: what's your twitter username?

I agree. Although I'm not gonna lie, why Titanic came out I was like 8 and I thought Leo was a total cutie. I think i blushed a lot when he came on the screen but i didn't think anything pervy obviously as I was 8 and didnt know anything. I just thought he was a pretty boy


lol I know I was joking about them not sleeping with her, but still she makes them out to be complete assholes... it sounds like she just exaggerated a bunch of stuff

yes, i think we do have rss feeds. there is also something you can do where you can import your old blog into a tumblr so nothing is lost from your old blog

Actually, I dont think its too strange. I don't think age should matter in some things. I can understand if your a kid and you like some rreally older adult in real life... that's just weird obviously.
But really some men can look real good at 40 They've gotten out of their young playboy/ cocky stage. Perfect example is Alex James, he is still hot at 40 but he is such a family man now and still really sweet and charming like he was when he was younger.

I don't know what she meant about their groupies and stuff. I dont think they did much with them, Damon at least was all in love with his girlfriend Justine Frischmen at this time. I wouldn't put it past Alex tho. Thank god he grew out of that tho.

What do you mean by "did much"? Cause if they bring them to their rooms or whatever place it is, I seriously doubt they're not gonna do much xD

Haha, drugs sex and rock'n roll, as always
