Book Description
The Geebst is a little creature which started appearing in and around Canada in the early 1960s, not long after a mysterious “meteor” shower. The Geebst was adopted by Canada, and this exciting nation jealously guarded the geebst as a national treasure. Slowly but surely, word spread to the United States… and thus began a froideur over illegal Geebst trafficking that lingers to this day. Once geebsts began to be smuggled across the border into the States, the geebst was to become a muse for some of the finest Pop and Rock musicians of the modern age, inspiring such classics as “Wanna be your Dog” by Iggy and the Stooges, “Three Little Birds”, by Bob Marley, “Someone saved my Life Tonight” by Elton John, and “That’s not my Name”, by the Ting Tings [yes, the geebst was even taken to the United Kingdom]. To add insult to injury, these bands then went on to deny the geebst’s inspiration, consigning the geebst’s creative muse to the dustbin of Pop history. Here, for the very first time, author Gili Ransome blows the lid on the legend of the geebst, and reinstates it’s place in the pantheon of music history!
