DESCRIPTION:
TL said I read an entire book. Pretty rare for me to make it through a whole book (thanks dyslexia), also pretty rare to read a music bio book that goes into the details of how screwed up people can get but also has some light at the end of tunnel redemption.

I wish they did a couple takes, because it sounds like they found their rhythm halfway through.
