pinkalpaca 's review for:

3.0

A surprisingly underwhelming and disappointing read for me. There were a lot of music industry anecdotes and accounts of name-dropping (Hi again Bob!), an interesting history of his family, particularly his father, and lengthy explorations on songwriting and construction. I'm pretty sure it was the latter that just made this tome overly long and boring for me.

One of my long-time favorite aspects of his songs (cramming way more words in than can possibly be proper) seemed to be the downfall of his memoir, for me anyway. Bummer.
