I hadn't heard of this singer/songwriter, but my husband had. I wanted to read this memoir as it had great reviews. Her story is interesting, how she bucked the norm and fought for her artistry. She makes no excuses for leading the life of a rock and roll star, the sex, drugs, and drinking. She discusses how she wanted control over her music and the sound produced. Her gamble eventually paid off, although in the male dominated world of the record industry, it was quite a struggle. 
She also overcame childhood trauma due to her mother's mental illness and the need for acceptance from her father. I am glad she has finally found true love with her husband and is honored for her unique work. 
Interesting life, quick read.

she is an absolutely wonderful storyteller, and i def came away with a better understanding of the stories behind some of my fav songs+ her writing process. 

love the bit where she talks about  annie leibovitz and she goes, i know shes a lesbian or bi,  idk! it doesnt matter, people fuck people, who cares
