this book really is so good and means so much to me now. i appreciate jeff’s raw honesty and transparency about life and music, and how he talks about things that were probably not very easy to talk about. i honestly learned from this book and for that i am grateful! listening to jeff read it himself was a major plus.

Despite being a recent, lukewarm Wilco admirer influenced by my Wilco-obsessed work colleagues who took me to my very first, their eighth, Wilco concert this year (one even named their son after the band), I dove into Jeff Tweedy's memoir with minimal knowledge & expectations. It was an unorthodox approach, but ultimately rewarding.
Having devoured my fair share of rock star memoirs, I can confidently say this ranks among the best. Jeff's a natural storyteller, possessing a voice that draws you in from the first page. He's refreshingly raw, flawed, and charmingly self-deprecating. Here's a guy, not unlike ourselves, simply trying to navigate life's complexities. I often found myself forgetting he's the frontman of two beloved cult followed bands, so engrossed was I in his relatable anecdotes and insightful learnings.
His humor is disarming, often leading into hilariously awkward Larry David-esque social interactions or questionable decisions, both fueled by and independent of bad influences. The inclusion of his wonderfully eccentric family adds another layer, providing a glimpse into the vibrant world that shaped him.
While the book may not turn me into a die-hard Wilco or overall alt-country fan, it undeniably made me a devoted admirer of Jeff Tweedy and his captivating brand of flawed genius.

This is one of the more enjoyable music memoirs that I’ve read. And I’ve read a lot of them.
One reason is that the author seems genuinely bemused that people want to read his life story. I find that very endearing.
The pace and flow of the book is fast moving, which also helps. It feels more like the reader is along for the ride rather than having to plod through it. Tweedy says in a sentence what Springsteen spent two pages on.
Highly recommended.

I really loved this book, and was really glad I listened to the audiobook version. Jeff Tweedy is such a good story teller and narrator. Heartwarming and very honest feeling, I’ll definitely be returning to this book and Jeff’s music.
