Wonk

407662

Andrew Ian Dodge keeps us up to date with his charmed life as a wonk.

This week has seen a rather interesting development in my writing career. I have been asked by a UK think-tank to write a 6000+ word piece on the future of the British music scene. What makes me laugh about this is that I was in the think-tank/wonk world in the 90s and never managed to get paid very much. Now I am a scary long-haired leather-clad heavy rock frontman and I will be paid nicely for my piece which will end up in a book from the organisation. The twists and turns of life can be quite amusing at times.

I want to be just like him when I grow old.
