Bought to the printed page on the back of the cult internet sensation and an immensely successful Crowdfunding campaign contributed to by many of the artists involved, ‘’Dear Mr. Kershaw’’ is the result of 7 years’ surreal and quite bonkers work. ‘’Derek’’, with help from his friend ‘’Wilf’’, is a retired gent who back in 2008 set out on a bizarre crusade, writing good old-fashioned letters to pop and rock stars regarding lyrical inaccuracies and ambiguities in their most famous songs and often hilariously getting the wrong end of the stick. The letters are eminently publishable in their own right, mixing sharp wit, confusion and biscuits with trips to the shops and unarguable logic in relation to questioning the offending chart hits under scrutiny. What makes this book an essential purchase however is that, with the missives online for all to see on what was becoming a hugely popular website, the artists quite unexpectedly started to reply. ‘’Dear Mr. Kershaw’’ features over 65 of the best and funniest letters and responses from famous and legendary names spanning every reach of the pop, rock, metal, prog and punk spectrum, all relishing their involvement ‘’in character’’ and revealing their own in many cases hitherto unknown humorous sides. Amongst those to be saluted for their great sportsmanship are Noddy Holder, Billy Bragg, Was Not Was, The Stereo MCs, Dave Stewart of The Eurythmics, Saxon, Tom Robinson, Stiff Little Fingers, Rick Wakeman, Paul Heaton, Squeeze, Toyah, Howard Jones, The Divine Comedy, Kim Wilde, and of course the gentleman himself Mr Nik Kershaw Also includes 100 ‘’mini-letters’’ and Polymer Animal Popstars Highly recommended to anyone who likes music and laughing

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Erudite and amusing By Max Crowe A charmingly literate and affectionate send-up of pop music by an English pensioner possessing an uncommonly diverse knowledge of the medium. Although its contents skew a bit in the direction of U.K. artists who aren't as well known on American shores, a keen reader can thoroughly enjoy the witticisms even without being familiar with the subject of the lampooning. The absurdist glimpse that Derek and Wilf provide into the relaxed pace of a Bournemouth retiree's life reminds me a bit of the little-known vintage American radio comedy show "Vic and Sade". A must-read for anybody who has ever enjoyed a "Weird" Al Yankovic parody.

Precious By Dynomoose A hilarious collection of letters written to pop stars by an elderly gentleman who takes lyrics entirely too literally and the equally funny responses from said pop stars.Illustrated with the punny as heck sculptures by Mrs. Philpot.
