In a world increasingly fraught with unseen dangers and internal battles, the illusion of solitary strength crumbles. We've shed the archaic labels of strong or weak, male or female, recognizing that life's complexities demand a collective helping hand.
Just a Touch of Ginger is an unflinching exploration of one man's journey, delivered with striking dark imagery and a potent, often self-deprecating, dark humor. This personal narrative is profoundly shaped by the visceral power of The Wildhearts. Their incendiary arrival on the 1990s music scene challenged the status quo, their unbridled passion and chaotic honesty a stark reflection of the struggles many faced. Even as they teetered on self-destruction, their music became a lifeline. Ginger, the band's enigmatic leader, inadvertently built a powerful community, transforming scattered listeners into a devoted family. The fight evolved: no longer just the band against the world, but a unified front of Wildhearts and fans against society's injustices.
This is more than a memoir; it’s the story of that war—a deeply personal account from a survivor, a proud member of the legion. It's about drawing strength from shared purpose, embracing a wild heart, and courageously confronting the realities of our time, no matter how grim or absurd they appear.

About the Author
Soul Searcher.
The news is basically shovelled down your throat by various media and just like everything these days the big news always sells, the terrorism, the earthquakes, hurricanes and being a cold-hearted dumb ass president who has no idea of the damage he is causing with his bigoted tweets. The real news is the events that are not on the front page, that are not sponsored by our governments that are pushed onto our plate like a sour tasting processed burger from Fcdonalds .
It seems that are a lot of people are ill or sick but these small little words do not describe the pain and torture these people suffer, I believe that the governments are fucking us over, just like Trump is adamant that climate change is not real yet two huge hurricanes have torn the States apart in this last month, can we safely say that Cancer is a natural monster? Can we say that Aids is a natural monster? I believe that like the recent hurricanes that although they existed before, it is Man who has fuelled them, made them bigger and made them more aggressive.
What is in our water? What is in the air we breathe? What is in the processed food we eat? Can it be that the Government makes a person poor so that poor person can only buy certain types of manipulated food pushing them into a trap that the ones in power have orchestrated? Are we being dumbed down? Schools are becoming less dependent on core studies and the universities have become so expensive for the average Joe, and what about the ones who got away? The talented free thinking people who question authority and demand a better world where everyone is equal?
How come mental illness is now growing ? Can it be that bad that half the people you know are suffering in some kind of form? Having therapy , taking pills twice a day, feeling unwanted and alone, depressed and suicidal, is this the new breed of super humans the Governments wanted us to become?
How many people have committed suicide you can remember that had fame, fortune and so much going for them yet they had to end their life? If the rich folk can’t keep alive then there is no hope for the average factory worker with a mortgage to pay because maybe his boss is a total cunt but you can’t tell him to go fuck himself because the bank would not accept that as payment and will quickly make you homeless.
Sometimes there is something to keep these people alive, a spokesperson for the masses, for all the people that have been fucked over by somebody, somebody who writes it how it is, telling us about the problems of life, of headfuck girlfriends, of drinking about life, about being sick of drugs , how to sober up with a Caffeine Bomb when you can’t do right from doing wrong, you turn on your Vanilla Radio and you turn up the volume and you listen to the Wildhearts, the singer Ginger has saved me from turning out my lights and he has saved many other people as well, bringing them back from the loneliness and despair that depression and anxiety and other mental illnesses dish onto you.
All those people proud to be living because of Ginger, but Ginger is not superhuman he has the very same issues as the average bloke on the street , he is not living in some fancy castle he is one of the neighbours, when he found himself in a dark corner, and said some bollocks on the social media it was us the fans he saved, who slapped his hand and told him to behave and thanked him for keeping them alive, we demanded that Ginger got better, got fitter and we demanded that he keeps writing songs for us, for him and for his dog.
This eBook is Just a Touch of Ginger , some of it is tongue in cheek a bit of fun but it also explores the issues of mental illness and government corruption, it is about my problems, Ginger’s problems, everyone’s problems and how this mix overlaps and how we all survive, are you ready to blast off?

Blast off
I don’t know why
But I am feeling sky high tonight
So many little things
Have started to go right
But I know
This trip will not last long
Just like one of my
Favourite Wildhearts songs
it always has been
Earth versus us all
Been that way
For me two decades or more
Once I play one of their tunes
I blast off into ecstasy
And do two laps of the moon
I am in orbit between real nice ladies
Got to be careful of them and their sky babies
When you are looking for a different kind of love
You got to get sky chaser high and far above
