In 1982 Nico - Fellini siren, Berlin chanteuse, Warhol superstar, Velvet Underground starlet, heroin addict and burnt-out beatnik - began a comeback. James Young was the keyboard player hired to play in her ramshackle band on a world tour which lasted until her death in 1988. This is Young's often hilarious account of Nico's life. It is a rock and roll chronicle of life on the road - a road which goes nowhere fast.
