Not good. Not good at all. I'm thinking that the book is going to be like the title suggests--which, to be fair, it is. Kind of. Although instead of verifying or disputing the rumors and legends, the author just repeats them. Again, to be fair, I was warned in the introduction. But like the idiot that I am, I discarded this information and continued to read. It was a mistake. Most of the tales are about little-known bands or musicians. The others are ones that I've even heard of. And the footnotes. Oh, lord, the footnotes. It shocked me that there were two whole pages that did not contain any footnotes. I'm not sure how Holmes contained himself. The footnotes are meant to be an attempt at humor. An attempt that failed.

Entertaining at times but largely dull, there's nothing really new there and it's not as funny as it wishes to be.

Hilarious, if only for the footnotes. It's a pack of unsubstantiated rumours about rock stars. Most of said rumours involve one or another icky body fluid. Or vats of drugs. I laughed my way through it, even the gross parts. Not for the seeker of truth nor the easily offended.
