To rock the boat in the figurative sense "stir up trouble" is from Rock-a-bye first recorded in nursery rhyme. Mercur in turn had taken its inspiration from the US ship Courier, which broadcast the 'Voice of America' into southeastern Europe from the eastern Mediterranean. By contrast, it claims, "pirate radio played pop and rock 24 hours a day". It is especially important for the main storyline, the coming of age of the young man Carl played by Tom Sturridge on the boat. Having got into trouble in school, the young Carl is sent presumably in the summer of , to spend some time with his godfather Quentin Bill Nighy , who is manager and resident of Radio Rock.
Carl becomes part of the homo-social world of the ship's DJs, some of whom are loosely based around actual personalities from the offshore era. Mostly through the eyes of Carl, the film tracks the interpersonal relations and conflicts almost entirely to do with women of the DJs interspersed with their on-air hijinks. His development as a character essentially involves his symbolic and psychological movement from the onshore world to the offshore world.

While the characters claim devotion to rock and roll music and indeed, two of them do in fact risk death the film is ultimately about men who want to, attempt to, and occasionally manage to, have sex with women. The ship as ostensibly 'woman-free zone' with the exception of the one lesbian woman who 3 does the cooking thus provides most of the narrative tension. The other key storyline surrounds the activities of the repressed and bureaucratic British cabinet minister Dormandy Kenneth Branagh and his underling Twatt Jack Davenport.
They are driven by disgust at the station's lawlessness and the loose, fun-loving content 'they hate our freedoms' would be an apt gloss for these characters' motivations to find a legal mechanism to stop the pirates from broadcasting. Setting up this binary conflict makes for a narrative driven by desire for liberation in the form of music and sex.

While this conflict serves the film's dramatic aims, it maintains a peculiar silence about the main driving forces of the historical situation: Except for an oblique reference to the government threatening Radio Rock's advertisers, the film excludes economics entirely from its chains of cause and effect. A case in point is the 'fact' cited at the start of the film about the amount of time per day that the BBC devoted to playing popular records.
The statement is both roughly accurate, and somewhat misleading. Two other BBC channels provided more serious programming, while the Light Programme had as its remit all other forms of light programming and genres of music from rock and roll through to popular operatic arias. More specifically, however, the BBC was limited by contract in the amount of records it could play. Record companies demanded payment from the BBC for playing their products, whilst the musicians' unions demanded that a certain large proportion of the station's music be played by live, jobbing musicians.
To an extent, they wanted to play more of what their audience wanted, but they were legally obliged not to. Since before WWII, the tiny nation of Luxembourg had used its position as a sovereign nation to develop commercial broadcasts for the countries that 4 surrounded it. In the early s, it began broadcasting on the medium wavelength of m, which made it an easily available spot on the AM dial.

Unlike the BBC, Luxembourg played many records. In fact, during the s, Luxembourg had increased its emphasis on youth-oriented records in part in response to competition for advertising revenues from the British commercial television stations that came into existence in the middle of the decade. After Ronan O'Rahilly, the impresario behind Radio Caroline, tried to get records by a band he managed played on Luxembourg, he discovered it was impossible, because they were on a competing label.
In many ways, they faced many of the same troubles in trying to identify and target their audiences as the BBC, and this was actually exacerbated by their commercial interests. Radio London, for example, was careful to market itself as an all-music station, rather than an all pop and rock station. Rocked By Him 3. Her first time living in New York.

Nov 03, Geri Reads rated it it was ok. Great potential but lacking in execution. The only reason I was able to read this was it was free on Amazon and I had a doctor's appointment, which meant waiting time. It's just too unrealistic for me.
I mean, how can a fresh grad afford an apartment in Manhattan with a concierge nonetheless, on marketing assistant salary? I'm all for suspending reality but the whole story itself was nothing sort of unbelievable. Read at your own risk. Who knows you might enjoy it plus, it's free. View all 4 comments.
Nov 02, Laura rated it did not like it. From the first few pages of this book I assumed the author had attended Creative Writing classes as everthing was too descriptive. So the book starts with Jennifer coming home to find her boyfriend leaving her. He doesn't give much of a reason other than he could do better than her and she doesn't really fight to make him stay but does follow him out to the lift in their apartment building where she notices another guy. We are given no background on her relationship with the boyfriend so it made From the first few pages of this book I assumed the author had attended Creative Writing classes as everthing was too descriptive.
We are given no background on her relationship with the boyfriend so it made little impact. Jennifer has a new job. She seems to get over the loss of her boyfriend immediately and start lusting after the guy from the lift. Turns out he is a singer in a band and a bit of a manwhore seeing as he has a different girl everytime she sees him. Jennifer's boss is a letch.
I found this aspect of the storyline far fetched. Also thrown into the story is Jennifer's Dad having early signs of Alzheimers and needing expensive medication. What follows was just laughable especially as after getting together with Drake the guy from the lift they decide on a decision that made no sense whatsoever. The rest of the story reads as if they had a great love affair and were together for ages when in reality they had only spent one night together.
When all is resolved, it made me wonder why they couldn't have made that decision the first time around rather than the one they did make! There is just far too much internal thoughts of Jennifer's and hardly any dialogue. In fact there is probably more dialogue between Jennifer and other characters in the book than between her and Drake. I didn't really like Jennifer. I haven't really got an opinion on Drake as he had far too little dialogue for me to get to know him. I felt no connection between her and Drake so was not convinced of their love. I know this book is free but it really is dire!
Nov 02, Mary Mooney rated it really liked it. I found this one by accident and I'm glad I did. Jennifer comes home early to find her boyfriend Jerry packing his things and moving out. When he leaves the apartment, she follows him into the elevator trying to figure out what went wrong. Also in the elevator is another couple, a bimbo and a bad boy type and the girl makes a snide comment and the guy gives her a look of sympathy.

This was a slight change from the other Rock Star books I've read recently in that Drake wasn't a star, he was on his way to being one.
Jen comes home unexpectedly on her first day of work to find her whole life changes unexpectedly, she then finds she has the boss from hell, who is beyond creepy and desperately deserving of a sexual harassment suit just reading about Bud's character had This was a slight change from the other Rock Star books I've read recently in that Drake wasn't a star, he was on his way to being one.
