As an ex hedonist with a love of the planet, a penchant for spiritual pursuits and an overarching belief in equality, listening to Russell Brand often makes me exclaim an appreciative and ecstatic 'Yes!'
Having just finished Russell Brand's Revolution, I feel it's only fair to complete the review with such analogy. Listening to it on audio-book read by the author may have been somewhat pivotal in my decision to proceed thus.
The act was no mean feat. It took a while, we engaged a variety of partners, put a lot of effort into foreplay, and the delivery was articulate and delicious. Yes I knew a lot of the moves already, but they were confirmation that I'm doing this right...and that I'm not doing it alone- and there were a few new positions thrown in there too for good measure alongside the prospect of further experimentation. And just when I thought he was done, he threw in a loving epilogue, offering an extra boost of aural stimulation.
I'm slightly worried that I've been wasting my time on sex and should have been listening to poetically written anarcho-communist fantasies with a humorous twist instead....but at least I now know the revolution can be witty.
Some of the funniest bits in Revolution are the 'legal asterisks'... the bits where his publisher's lawyers made him write a disclaimer. The way he does it while also implying that what he said about Apple/Soda Stream/Ed Balls is true is hilarious. You've gotta have a bit of humour in with your revolutionary mind blowing aural sensation!
It was also a very humble experience, offering up his own weaknesses, failings and inadequacies with a willingness to improve performance and be a more considerate partner.
The post-reading experience feels a bit like when you have really really amazing earth-shattering sex, and when you're done, you just sit there for ages absorbing it all because life is somehow more wondrous than you ever imagined and those sweet nothings in your ears were inspirational. Wow. How can we keep this feeling going? Is the revolution coming? Yes, Yes, Yes!
