So tonight Iï¸ finished Richard Blade’s,†World in my Eyesâ€. The last thing Iï¸ expected was for this book to bring back vivid memories of my teens and early 20’s. We (as in Richard and Iï¸) shared multiple events; he had his view and of course Iï¸ had mine yet since they were at the same place and time. Thanks to him, Iï¸ was able to relive these moments via the pages of his book.The rush of emotion, the thoughts that hadn’t been thought of in over 20 plus years all came rushing back en masse. Memories that brought back physical responses; some good and some really bad became part of the thrill while reading this book. Heartbreaking moments, wonderful life altering memories all set to a soundtrack of KROQ. The soundtrack of my “youth†started with Richard Blade and still today he has a reoccurring role via First Wave. My love for music began by listening to you for hours. Tape recording the songs you played and listening to them a million times over. Oh what simple times those were. Not a care in the world. You state in the book that only people in SC can comprehend some of what you wrote about, so true.Thank you for sharing your story with us which, coincidentally intertwines with mine which made reading “World in my Eyes†a truly meaningful act. Iï¸ believe that many others feel the same exact way feeling right now. Emotional, unsettled, nostalgic yet completely elated. Iï¸ shared with my daughter that never had Iï¸ read a book and mind you the list is rather long, that Iï¸ could simultaneously share the experience regarding the topic that was being discussed. Never, had Iï¸ had such a personal connection to any book. You gave me back my youth while reading the book. Brilliantly done Richard.
A fantastic book telling the life story of a very interesting man. Richard Blade is primarily a disc jockey, heard these days on Sirius XM satellite radio's First Wave station, although he has appeared on television many times as a host and broke big in radio with "the World Famous KROQ" in Los Angeles, California. His radio program is high energy, relentlessly upbeat and informative. His book is much the same, although his life has not been without sadness and tragedy. The chapters move quickly, and keep driving you forward to continue reading the book. I found it very difficult to put down for any length of time. We know Richard as a champion of New Wave music from the 1980s, when his radio career REALLY took off. The book is full of interesting notes and anecdotes about all the musical acts, including Spandau Ballet, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, George Michael Morrisey and Berlin. He also talks about his life journey, from spinning records at small parties at Oxford, expanding and traveling and playing at clubs throughout Europe and eventually making his way to the United States.It is also a great story of grit and perseverance, about knowing what you want and doing whatever it takes to reach your goal. He really worked his way up the ladder, and never gave up on his dream even when it seemed far away. He didn't allow himself to be distracted or sidetracked, although he did at least one time allow himself to take the longer path instead of a more direct one. I also like that he is a person that always went above and beyond the call of duty, who didn't just try to do his job well, but tried to grow, to expand, to truly "add value" to whatever project he was working on. When his passion evolved, and his dream of being a DJ on the radio was realized, he sought to grow the brand and types of music that he loved, to expand the audience of the people that listened to it.Blade has a great memory, and a raconteur's ability to tell a great story. Humor is abundant in the book, in the forms of stories well told, but there are some sad stories in there too, stories that I'll admit brought tears to my eyes. He always gives credit where it is due - he speaks well of those that helped him or that worked with him as he achieved his dreams - but always takes the high road. Those that treated him poorly or cut him down aren't mentioned by name; he doesn't use the book as an excuse to settle old scores.I greatly enjoyed this book. The story of a person who came to this country with nothing but a few hundred bucks and a dream, and succeeds is something that never gets old, and a object lesson for everyone. If you are willing to work hard and have a good head on your shoulders, you can succeed. I have the paperback book and got the Kindle edition as well. If you can, get the paper version. There are many great pictures in the book, pictures that (my version, at least) the Kindle cannot reproduce well enough to truly appreciate. However, the paper version checks in at over 500 pages, and the type set is standard - not especially large. Richard has really lived an interesting life, traveled extensively and met a lot of interesting and diverse (love the story about meeting Sir Richard Branson!) people, and he really gave the readers their money's worth. It can be a little heavy to carry around, but it is worth it! And the really interesting thing is that by the end of the book, he isn't up to the current date! He says the book is "to be continued" and I, for one, am really looking forward to reading the continuation! Read the book, listen to his program on the radio (that alone is worth the cost of a satellite subscription!) see the world in Richard's eyes!
We all knew the hardcore new wavers growing up: the ones who knew that Depeche Mode’s “People Are People†album wasn’t a proper release but instead a compilation, who knew that the Go-Go’s printed the words “What we don’t know we make up†on the inner portion of the 45 for “Our Lips Are Sealedâ€, who frequented the local hotspots like 321, Perkins’ Palace and Florentine Gardens … for them and for those of us not old enough (or in my case, not old enough or cool enough) to go to the clubs but loved the music anyway, Richard Blade was right there with us – on radio station KROQ as well as TV shows such as MV3 and Video One (particularly indispensable for those of us without cable and thus without MTV). I admit I took Mr. Blade for granted – he was always just, well, there!The more you read, though, the more you learn that he wasn’t riding the wave – he helped create it. Several groups/artists credit him specifically with their success and, as we learn in the book, Blade helped curate the soundtrack to our generation (not alone, of course – his dad helped!).If you’d asked me how he achieved his success, I’d probably have said “I don’t know; I imagine he was a big DJ in England and got hired by KROQ, and the rest is history?†Hardly. His rise from DJ’ing small European clubs to partying with Spandau Ballet in Australia was a long and arduous one, meticulously detailed in the book. I got exhausted just reading about it, I can only imagine what living it was like.If you just want the stories about his interactions with the artists, you got ‘em. Sure, you’ll get your DMode, your INXS, your Morrissey, but you’ll also hear about some of the lesser-knowns like Felony (after reading the tragic story of Jeffrey Spry you’ll want to look Richard in the eye like Sean Maguire did to Will Hunting and say “it’s not your fault†again and again). Many of the tales will be revelations to most folks since they took place well before the advent of cell phones – for example, give iPhones to the hundreds in attendance at Mr. J’s one particular night in 1983 and the jaw-dropping story told in the No More Words chapter would have been immediately uploaded to YouTube and become familiar to millions. But I’d certainly never heard it.I can’t recommend this book highly enough – it’s inspirational, confessional, emotional (you’ll never hear Tears For Fears’ “Mad World†the same way again) and, most importantly, highly entertaining. On a personal note – if you get the chance to meet the man, e.g. at a book signing, try to do it – he’s every bit as personable as you’d expect him to be.
