The 500 with Josh Adam Meyers

Here’s a preview of “To Hell with Poverty!”, a new audiobook from Jon King, legendary frontman of iconic post-punk band Gang of Four. “To Hell with Poverty!” documents King’s story from a south London slum and working-class background to international success as core musician, lyricist, writer, and producer in the legendary post-punk/funk band Gang of Four. King’s memoir takes the reader on a journey full of raucous adventures from his childhood and teenage years, to the height of Gang of Four’s success in the seventies and eighties. Thrown off Top of the Pops, truncheoned by police at an anti-Nazi rally, coming of age in the heart of the Leeds music scene and the UK post-punk movement, mingling with Hells Angels and other undesirables, supported by bands like R.E.M. and playing with the likes of the Police, Iggy Pop, and the Buzzcocks―King’s time with Gang of Four is rich with jaw-dropping stories. Find “To Hell with Poverty!”, from Pushkin Industries, on Spotify, Audible, Pushkin.fm, or wherever you get audiobooks.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
