I was the Fool-king of Soho and the number-one slag in the Groucho Club,the second drunkest member of the world's drunkest band. This was no disaster,though. It was a dream coming true.'For Alex James,music had always been a door to a more eventful life. But as bass player of Blur - one of the most successful British bands of all time - his journey was more exciting and extreme than he could ever have predicted. In Bit of a Blur he chronicles his journey from a slug-infested flat in Camberwell to a world of screaming fans and private jets - and his eventual search to find meaning and happiness (and,perhaps most importantly,the perfect cheese),in an increasingly surreal world.
