We have Simon Mason, an author, recovery coach and a shadowy figure of the Britpop scene of the 1990s. whose life story is a whirlwind of rock ’n’ roll excess, devastating addiction, and eventual redemption. Known as the ”Cat in the Hat,” Simon was a dealer to Oasis and other legendary bands, a firsthand witness to the cultural explosion of the era—and a victim of his own spiraling heroin addiction.
