I've been reading way to little in the last few months, and to get myself back in the habit of picking up a book I decided to start with an easy read. Rock Bottom is a collection of stories about musicians (almost all of them men for some reason, I think Janis Joplin is the only woman featured in the book) who met some kind of downfall. The collection of people seem a bit odd. They are not musicians from the same era or same genres, it seems pretty random. There are a lot of things (drug abuse, domestic violence, borderline abuse) that the author doesn't seem fazed by all too much and sometimes that really bothered me. The book does make a nice quick read and I found it interesting even if I only really know the music of Kurt Cobain and Freddie Mercury, I've heard of most of the other people in the book but I'm not that familiar with their music. I don't think the book was writing too well and I think the author has some strange reactions to some things but the book was entertaining enough.
