More like a soap opera than a rockstar's biography
Revisado: 01-23-21
How lovely to hear about Billy's love-life, time after time. Would much prefer to learn about his journey as a rockstar. Oh, but then I remember, he wasn't one.

Historia
Roger Daltrey is the voice of a generation. That generation was the first to rebel, to step out of the shadows of the Second World War...to invent the concept of the teenager. This is his story, from his birth at the height of the Blitz through tempestuous school days to his expulsion, age 15, for a crime he did not commit (though he was guilty of many other misdemeanours he'd got away with). Thanks to Mr Kibblewhite, his draconian headmaster, it could all have ended there. The life of a factory worker beckoned. But then came rock and roll....

What a surprise! His swelled head is only matched by the swelling in his pants for every female with a pulse - he kinda reminds me of me!

For all of us struggling with addiction issues, it's sooo reassuring to know that Darrel can make a few bucks by telling us about his problems. Make us laugh funny man!

Historia
With the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards created the riffs, the lyrics and the songs that roused the world, and over four decades he lived the original rock-and-roll life: taking the chances he wanted, speaking his mind, and making it all work in a way that no one before him had ever done. Now, at last, the man himself tells us the story of life in the crossfire hurricane. And what a life....

A great tale. Too bad they chose Joe Hurley to narrate some of the book. He sounds so much like Mick Jagger, I had to keep reminding myself it's a book about Keith Richards. Johnny Depp & Keef were great.

Historia
The son of a classical pianist straight out of the Bronx of old Archie comics, Steven Tyler was born to be a rock star. Weaned on Cole Porter, Nat King Cole, Mick and his beloved Janis Joplin, Tyler began tearing up the streets and the stage as a teenager before finally meeting his "mutant twin" and legendary partner, Joe Perry. In this addictively listenable memoir, Tyler unabashedly recounts the meteoric rise, fall, and rise of Aerosmith over the last three decades and riffs on the music that gives it all meaning.

Historia
In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl's halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That's how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to this audio the same honesty, humor, and originality found in his songs.

Overly solopsistic
Revisado: 04-26-18
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Some parts were engrossing others were boring and uninteresting.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Would have preferred more about the performances.
What about Bruce Springsteen’s performance did you like?
A natural reading without artifice
What else would you have wanted to know about Bruce Springsteen’s life?
All the tour stuff he omitted.
Any additional comments?
The next Springsteen book I read, will be written by a third party who will not be worried about offending....

Historia
Since bursting onto the scene in the mid '70s, the pop duo Captain and Tennille have long defined the sparkling, optimistic idea of everlasting love, both in their music and through their image as a happy and, seemingly, unbreakable couple. They were an irresistible pair to millions of fans all over the world, further underscored by the rousing "yes, we can!" gospel of their biggest hit, "Love Will Keep Us Together". But underneath the image was an entirely different story that the fans never saw.

Revisado: 04-26-18
Where does Toni Tennille rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
top 10 percentile
Would you recommend Toni Tennille to your friends? Why or why not?
I would recommend this book to demonstrate a one-sided bias
What does Toni Tennille bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
emotional hypocrisy
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
schadenfreude
Any additional comments?
I would love to read Daryl Dragon's version of events. Especially his take on the 39 years of married life with Toni. If she endured all those years of a loveless marriage, then she must be as batty as she portrays him to be. Not a mention of a childless marriage. What about sleeping in separate rooms without touch or affection. If that was a problem for her, then she must be a very patient woman to put up with these circumstances for 39 years. I have a feeling that these two were a perfect match and that she dumped him after he was of no further use to her.
