The Amish Inquisition welcomes back the incomparable Bob Osborne — artist, writer, rebel, and chronicler of Britain’s wild fringe — to talk about his new autobiography, Be Lucky.
Born into a lineage of gypsy rag‑and‑bone men, convicts, and misfits, Bob’s story is a riotous journey through the underbelly of British life. From horse‑and‑cart totting in Notting Hill Gate to living in a cave in Crete, from Queen Victoria’s giant bodyguard uncle to punk‑era art and taboo humour, Osborne’s world is stitched together with grit, wit, and surreal defiance.
In this episode we explore:
🔥 The making of Be Lucky — a memoir of chaos, creativity, and redemption
🔥 The Rebel Not Taken ethos — art born from the street, the sea, and the scrapyard
🔥 Gypsy heritage, freak‑show ancestry, and the mythic British outsider tradition
🔥 How rebellion, humour, and irony became his lifelong creative compass
Bob’s life is a collage of madness, poetry, and survival — a living testament to the idea that luck favours the bold, the strange, and the unrepentant.
