Robert Elms 'I chickened out of playing football with Bob Marley'

Music and style journalist Robert Elms joins me in the Book Bag to discuss 'Live: Why We Go Out', his memoir of decades of ardent gig-going. He talks about naming Spandau Ballet, how the Jackson 5 changed his life and why it doesn't pay to annoy Miles Davis.
Elms is also the author of The Way We Wore: A Life in Threads', 'London Made Us', and the novel 'In Search of the Crack'.
