I Play the Drums in a Band Called Okay by Toby Litt

4.0

I liked that it wasn't your typical 'rock n roll memoir', there's the drugs, the women, the trips to rehab, the bad ideas, but mostly these were told by the narrator as they happened to the people around him, and I like that. I like that it was written from the perspective of the drummer, not the frontman, the star. There's bits that make you laugh, bits that make you want to cry a bit, but mostly it's relatively believable. A few of the stories were not so much in keeping with the other, and I'm not sure I was fond of these surreal snippets, but I really liked this, on the whole. It was nice, and I know nice isn't an adjective people like to use, but that's how I feel about it.
