I like to have a good read, and I'm partial to a good biography. I usually go for old actors or old explorers, but recently, I've been getting into Rock Musicians Biographies.
Boy there are some tales here! I must have read 20 biographies and autobiographies in the last year alone (I'm a rabid reader!)
Some of the stories are superb and just what I expected from the writers. Whilst some of the other books to which I was looking forward to a roller-coaster ride ended up with namby-pamby fairy story type affairs!
You wouldn't believe which rockers are completely mad and which ones are solid family types.
Fascinating stuff. My next read will be a biography from the prog rock phase, (Rick Wakeman) to see if this grumpy old man was a real Rock Star!
Mick Jaggers' book was a real eye opener for many reasons!
You can see my reviews here with enough books to get you started on this rock musicians biographies Odyssey!
