He encounters inspiring characters including Tony Wilson, Nile Rodgers, Neneh Cherry, Tracey Thorn, Mark E Smith, Ian Brown, and John Lydon. John Peel takes him to see Public Enemy; Sonic Youth sleep on his floor; Morrissey comes to tea. He has a gun pulled on him at the Hacienda, a drug dealer threatens to slit his throat; and, in an unexpected twist, he sells his records and moves to Paris where a crew of lesbians save his life.\r\n","event_start_time":"Tue, 02 Apr 2019 18:00:00 +0000","event_end_time":null}
