An excellent autobiography about a wonderful time in music. I highly recommend it.

Whether you're just a casual fan or a die hard fan of dIRE STRAITS, I highly recommend this book. John Illsley's description of his early life and the early days of the sTRAITS leading into their global success in the 1980s is fantastic, thoughtful and very entertaining.

Simply put, this book is a miracle....

Revisado: 06-22-23

For many Nick Drake fans, like myself, the only way we could learn more about the short life of Nick Drake was digging up old magazine articles about Nick that we found online, pouring over liner notes in box sets and repressings of Nick's three brilliant albums, or chatting with like minded friends and comparing notes on the scant amount of information in Drake's life after the release of Pink Moon. However, now, due to the extraordinary work of Richard Morton Jack, Nick Drake's life is no longer hidden in the shadows. Richard Morton Jack has taken great care in leaving no stone unturned and now presents to us the wonderful beginnings of Nick's musical life and the rather difficult details concerning the end of his life. I say this book is a miracle because so much of Nick's life was shrouded in myth, with only two minor documentaries online to help shape what little most of us know about the short life of this beloved artist. Now, we know the full story. Richard Morton Jack was giving access to the private correspondence of family letters, diary, and journal entries, home recordings, and many other artifacts from the Drake family that helped give a proper history of the life of Nick Drake. I can not recommend this book enough. It's absolutely brilliant!

An odyssey of ex-girlfriends crap record taste

Revisado: 04-20-23

I loved Chuck's latest book, "The Ninties." It was phenomenal, and I wanted more.... but this......
It started out well, with some very good moments in it. However, if there's one thing I've gotten good at, it's identifying exactly when an author has run out of interesting things to write about. About halfway through, I knew I was in trouble. Klosterman spent more time comparing his fav ex-girlfriends to Kiss albums than he did discussing all the famous and dead Seattle musicians combined. He spent more time writing about Whitesnake than he did Buddy Holly, and Whitesnake (for better or worse) are still alive. And now I know more about a conversation he had with a white girl in a FUBU sweating in North Dakota than I do about the location of where Skynyrd had their plane crash. Chuck, next time, go to LA. It may have been more interesting.

Awful

Revisado: 08-30-22

I do not recommend this book at all. It was awful and not at all what I thought it would be. it literally resolves itself in the last 15 minutes with an unfulfilled ending...

This is the most breathtakingly arrogant book ever written by a "fan". Absolute garbage...
