Music
Review:If you remember the musical events of 1970, you'll find this book absorbing and surprisingly informative. If your record/CD collection contains the final recordings of the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkle and the first CSN and CSNY albums, the first solo recordings by former members of these bands, and the first three James Taylor records, you'll find yourself listening and reading the liner notes again with new perspective. (For instance, how interesting to notice that Joni Mitchell's appearance ... Read more
Review:Richard is honest and holds nothing back. Naming names is not something many authors do in famous circles. I was hooked from the first chapter I read and didn't want my journey with him to end. I remember hearing these songs on the radio first hand and wanting more. Sadly I was only in SoCal for a short time as a teen. If you get a chance, pick up this book. It's not just a summer read, it is so much more. So many things to remember about my teen years. Who knew. Read more
Review:Really enjoyed this book, so much that I hated finishing it. Original and thoroughly readable style. Duff comes across as a sincere, genuinely nice guy who gives us a glimpse into his life with and without GN'R. Plenty of history for GN'R fans. Great read. Highly recommend! Read more
Review:Finally!!! An epic love story with deep, well written characters, hotter then ?sex and a story line worth staying up all night for.
This is my first Jaine Diamond book, (but it won't be my last!)
On to the next!!! Read more
Review:i think i got somewhere around halfway through it before i stopped reading it on a regular basis. miles davis DOES NOT HOLD BACK! you will laugh your ass off reading some of the things he says. you can almost picture him and hear him saying these crude and vulgar things and i, for one, love it!

Review:Got this for my boyfriend for is birthday. Great condition. I read a little before boxing it back up and I must say even if you aren’t a fan of his music or of rap in general you should read it. It still makes for a good read to get to know him and his past etc. Read more
Review:I absolutely loved this book, I bought it almost 20years ago and bought another copy as I do not like sharing my books and this one my sons etc can borrow it. John's honesty is so very refreshing and I go back and re-read it. Some sad, very loving, tragic but most of all, the story of his life in his own eyes. I highly recommend this book. Read more
Review:I love Morrissey...it is written how he speaks . Kind of neat that as you are reading you can hear him speaking. He does drone on a bit here and there and his non meat eating stance gets a bit obnoxious but whatever...it is a well written and interesting book Read more
Review:Thoroughly enjoyed this. Disappointed by so many reviews saying there isn't enough 'dirt'. I would of been disillusioned if Bruce had written that kind of crap. He tells a great story of growing up in England during the 1960s and 70's. His adventures in music and flying are fantastic. I don't think you need to be a fan (though I am) to get something out of it. I went with Audible for the first time. Glad I did. I can listen on my commute and Bruce reading Bruce's words is just effin' awesome. We... Read more
Review:Intensely self-engrossed writing, but interesting. If John hadn't given so much credence to the angst-filled workings of his mind, he might have been a happier person. But then he probably would not have been such a an amazing songwriter or performer. It was also enlightening to read about his activist work outside his singing career. Read more
