Things the Grandchildren Should Know
Things the Grandchildren Should Know | Mark Oliver Everett
3 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
A heartbreaking, heartwarming, and oddlywhimsical memoir from acclaimed indie rocker Mark Oliver Everett of the EelsHow does one young man survive the deaths of his entire family and manage to make something of his life? The insecure son of a misunderstood genius of quantum mechanics, Mark Oliver Everett's upbringing was "ridiculous, sometimes tragic, and always unstead." But somehow he survived this and ensuing tragedies, channeling his experiences into his critically acclaimed music with the Eels. Told with surprising candor, his memoir is an inspiring and remarkable story, full of hope, humor, and wry wisdom.

An interesting read. E.'s telling of his family's story is moving, as is his journey in coming to terms with the serial tragedies. Also interesting insight into his music carrier, songwriting and the machinations of the recording studios.
