I thought this book would include more stories from life on tour or experiences in his career as a musician. there were a few chapters about the beginning of his career but for the most part it focused on other aspects/parts of his life. overall it was good, but it wasn't what I was hoping for.

I've been a fan of George Watsky's music for many years, so I already knew he was a fantastic storyteller. This collection of essays is poignant and funny, and I had a great time reading it.

I don't think I read the same book as everyone else lol. I would say it's because I have never heard of this author, but I've read many other memoirs esc books without knowing the author and enjoyed them more.

I really wanted to like this as a whole, but the majority of the stories fell really flat for me. My favorite one was probably Crying and Baseball.
Still a huge Watsky fan though. <3.

i don’t really know if anyone else can see these reviews, but in all honesty i’m only writing them for myself to look back on.
this is a book i’ve owned for so long and treasured as a belonging but had never read passed the first essay - for one reason or another
now that i finally have, it is still a treasured belonging but also most definitely a relic and a representation of a time in my life - one that spans years and potentially will be leaking into everything that happens next - and the only way i can explain the feeling is fittingly using a watsky lyric “we’re every age at once and tucked inside ourselves like russian nesting dolls”
the author for me is a person who has brought me comfort and inspiration since i was twelve years old for a multitude of reasons, and so reading about his experiences reminds me of my own both because he was an influence of those times and also because people always have similarities - and we all learn lessons from everyone around us. i can’t put this in any other way, in any way that makes sense right now, but it’s like this book reminded me of my truest deepest self that you constantly lose sight of, and it’s nice to have something solid that at once connects me with another and provides a permanent look at my truest self.
i say thank you to myself for reading this with the same than you i say to watsky for sharing his music.
i like to be reminded of the beauty of humanity, and that im part of that. thank you
