Closer You Are: The Story of Robert Pollard and Guided By Voices by Matthew Cutter

2.0

GBV were on the outskirts musically for me. I liked some of what I heard just not enough to spend money on it pre-streaming. I read an article on the band 15 years ago (in Blender maybe?) that has stuck with me. All of the excess of punk rock from a guy who was a school teacher? This book however is not The Dirt. It's more of a breakdown of the music and glosses over the drama. It seems 50 people go in and out of the band with little fan fair. For the hardest of hardcore fans only.
