THE NEW. RETRO. MODERN.
Conversations with Culture Icons: an anthology of unconventional interviews from a mixed-up, muddled-up music scene
ABOUT THE BOOK: Antonino Tati, editor of Cream Magazine Australia, draws on three decades of music journalism to curate an anthology of interviews with some of the world’s biggest pop culture icons. In conversation, Antonino delves into bolder topics such as sexuality and queer visibility, decadence and drug use, art versus commerce, and the artist as role model, as well as probing into the madness of why musos do what they do. The book rounds off with a call to arms for music artists to take stock of their life’s work, as something big and ugly could soon be gobbling it all up. Featured in this star-packed page-turner are candid chats and unorthodox conversations with:
