Review:The book sort of follows three narratives.
- Nile Rodgers' childhood, his family and his early career from the early 70s through to Chic and disco.
- Partying, nightclubbing and the hedonism in the 80s
- Drug and alcohol addiction and recovery.

The early years and the early career were the best and most fascinating chapters. Many fans of 60s and 70s music tend to fixate on the stereotypical images of late 60’s hippies and 70’s blacksploitation films. In this book, Rodger’s goes i... Read more

Review:Reading Ozzy's autobiography is like hanging out at his house and listening to him talk. It's funny, crazy, and at times a little shocking - which is exactly what you'd expect Ozzy's life to be. He tells it like it is; no secrets and no flowery language. Whatever you might think of the man, you certainly can't say that his book is dull. And the photos included are great! Read more

Review:Arrived on time and in great condition. I'm halfway thru the book now and as an avid Eddie Izzard fan I am delighted and pleased as punch with it thus far. It's sentimental and sweet and funny and touching. Highly enjoyable! Read more

Review:A serious and extraordinarily thorough book on Bach. Probably of particular interest to performers and anyone with a special interest in the choral music.

I found his comments and background to the St John Passion of great interest. Read more

Review:This a great addition to any library of music fans and especially those of punk rock 'N roll. This tells the story of the punk rock culture in our country.

Another must have in our punk rock collection is "Destroy All Movies!! The Complete Guide To Punks On Film (2010)" Read more

Review:I purchased this book for my youngest son, who is 4.
He enjoyed it immensely. Now, he has some images to go with this classic holiday story.
It is also refreshing to read/sing it to him in this hot, Southern California summer evenings. Read more

Review:This is a really engaging book on David Foster Wallace. Sure, people might say that Wallace's life is what makes this book good, but it's not. There would be too much of it to make sense of it all without a good deal of sifting, editing and moulding, which D. T. Max has done here.

It's a chronological book that undoubtedly puts Wallace up front, even though I get the feeling that's what Wallace would least of all have wanted, during his lifetime.

Having read "Infinite Jest" and "Th... Read more

Review:Elvis Costello might have been a fine novelist (or, better, short story writer), historian, or music critic. In this lollapalooza of a terrific memoir, he combines all these aptitudes and then some. Frequently brilliant, sometimes startlingly, this episodic tour of a life in music is funny, sad, touching, insightful and self-aware, buoyed by a refreshing sense of gratitude, and shot through with even more guilt and self-reproach than you'd expect from this former altar boy. No fan should think o... Read more

Review:Recovery and Course of Miracles, two of my favorite subjects. Spattered with personal experiences brings much to life. A way of putting course of miracles into practice. Very much enjoyed the book and would re-read. Read more

Review:I ordered this item with Amazon Prime, and it was here in two days flat, no problem! The book was in good condition, brand new, though the cover bent faster than I thought it would. Oh well, it happens to books.

The book itself is well written and I would recommend it to any friend who has an interest in either neurology or music. Good work on the book! Read more
