Short drive to freedom: A personal perspective on the Afrikaans rock rebellion - Koos Kombuis (First edition)

“I had to talk about it.
I was there.
I was part of that drive to freedom.”

“Was Voëlvry and all that stuff really worth it?”

This memoir is maverick musician Koos Kombuis’s attempt to answer that question. He writes with raw honesty and humour about his life as a rebel, and his involvement in the Alternative Movement of the 1980s, the Voëlvry tour, the people and the events — from Piekniek by Dingaan to Oppikoppi and beyond. And his years in the wilderness of drug abuse and rock music. Witty, touching, horrific, provocative.
