Phil Manzanera auditioned for 'avant rock group' in 1971: "must be elegant, witty, scary..."

The once bug-eyed-shades-wearing guitarist with Roxy Music remembers early life in Hawaii and Venezuela, Sterling Moss at the Cuban Grand Prix in '58, his prog bands at Dulwich college, the Shadows, old pals Dave Gilmour and Ian MacDonald, his 1972 diary, supporting Bowie at the Croydon Greyhound, producing Nico, John Cale and Split Enz, playing a song about a sex doll at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame and early American tours where "we had a lot of waterbombs thrown at us". Plus the Greatest Record Ever Made.
