Exclusive Excerpt
From Chapter 1: "Early Days"
"Grant McLennan was born on February 12, 1958, in the Brisbane suburb of Indooroopilly. His father, Don, was a schoolteacher, and his mother, Jill, was a nurse. Grant was the eldest of four children, and he had a happy and unremarkable childhood."
"McLennan's love of music began at an early age. He was particularly drawn to the Beatles, and he would spend hours listening to their records and learning to play their songs on the guitar. By the time he was a teenager, McLennan had formed his own band, the Go-Betweens, with his friend Robert Forster."
The Go-Betweens quickly became one of the most popular bands on the Brisbane indie scene. Their music was a unique blend of pop melodies and literary lyrics, and they were quickly embraced by critics and fans alike. In 1982, the Go-Betweens released their debut album, "Send Me a Lullaby," which was a critical and commercial success.
