"Actually, a great book is Billy Idol's book (Dancing With Myself). I don't consider it a rock memoir, though. That guy is such a deep figure. It's a deep, self-searching book about his life, his motorcycle accident and just all the crap he went through. I knew that he wrote it himself without help and that really impressed me. I know Billy a little bit. I really look up to him. I was hoping that it was going to be good. It was. Right away, in the foreword, it seemed he found his writing voice."

"His book, Black Coffee Blues, was probably the book that most influenced The Road Beneath My Feet. It was written between the late eighties and early nineties whilst Henry was on the road. The idea of writing an actual autobiography at my age seems quite repulsive to me, but tour diaries is a different thing as it’s not just about you but about the experiences and memories of playing shows around the world, both for you and the fans. Black Coffee Blues is the best book I’ve read like this and was a huge influence, both thematically and structurally."
