Fingers Crossed: How Music Saved Me From Success

[Audiobook]
A great autobiographic work spanning Miki's life from her childhood to today. Shows how a very dark f-ed up childhood can "potentiate" later deviant behaviour and how being a woman in a men's industry can be terrifying and unpleasant. Some insight into her band Lush's dynamic, going through some inner turmoil due to the often complicated relationship between Miki and Emma, the other songwriter, and the crazy life of touring and barely making a living if your band is not a top act like the mentioned Pearl Jam or Red Hot Chili Peppers. Miki talks about both her rights and her wrongs and that results in a very interesting book.
A great read/listen if you're a fan of Lush, music, the 4AD record label, or if you want a woman in a women-led band's perspective on the music industry.
