Robyn Hitchcock has written a rock memoir unlike anything else I’ve read. His new book, Stranded in the Future, takes us through 1968–1978 in a strange, funny, surreal trip through songwriting, first crushes, musical obsession, and the beginnings of the Soft Boys. I also go back to Hitchcock’s first memoir, 1967: How I Got There and Why I Never Left, and explain why these two books are best experienced together.
