Scar Tissue | Anthony Kiedis

Sex, drugs, and rock and roll, baby!

VERY heavy on the drugs.

I met Anthony back in the 90s, but, alas, our brief encounter was not mentioned in the book 😂

BittersweetBooks This book has been on my TBR since high school 🫣 (aka when it was published) 2d

fredthemoose I enjoyed this one. What a wild life. Flea‘s pre-RHCP memoir was good, too

jdiehr @Ruthiella Right?! ? At one point in the book he gives a "if you're reading this..." to a girl he met in Kentucky. That was the point when I stopped reading a memoir and started reading a fantasy ? 1d

BarbaraBB You met him?!?! Tell me everything! I‘ve had a crush on him since the 80s and especially in the Californication era. “Young Kentucky girl in a push up bra”… that must be you!! 23h

jdiehr @BarbaraBB No, I'm not the Kentucky girl!! But his shout out to her made me wish he was shouting out to the girl he met in LA and posed for a picture with (me 😄) 22h

Janis: Her Life and Music | Holly George-Warren

pick

Interesting. More detailed & thorough than I expected. At times a but too detailed as a lot of it was the same, but it was interesting to get such a deep insight into this legend‘s life. It ended up being shorter than I thought since about 40% of the book is the acknowledgments, end notes, bibliography, etc.

Thanks a Lot Mr Kibblewhite: My Story | Roger Daltrey

pick

An interesting skip through Daltrey‘s life from school years, through the formation and progression on the Who, as seen through Daltrey‘s eyes, to his life today. I feel the need to read Pete Townshend‘s memoir now, to get a balanced view.

What's Welsh for Zen?: The Autobiography of John Cale (Revised) | John Cale

"I am the man in the book you're reading
Waving to you from the page
I am the man in the book you're reading
Staring into your eyes
....
Books crawl down from the shelves
Read themselves to you
Read themselves at you
In the library of force"

Another bookish song, though a bit unsettling ?

Cathythoughts 😳 I like it though. 2mo

Bookwomble @Cathythoughts It's good, isn't it? 😊 I love John Cale 🖤 2mo

Leftcoastzen Oh goodness, I love Cale too ! Might be a tad dark for me currently.😄 2mo

Bookwomble @Leftcoastzen M:FANS is pretty dark. I love his perversity, though, in leaving the Velvet Underground as he said Lou was taking it too mainstream, and then his first solo album, Vintage Violence, is such a perfect pop album. Maybe slip that one on? 😊 2mo

Suet624 Oh, I had no idea he had an autobiography! 2mo

Bookwomble @Suet624 It's been on my to-buy list for years - I should get around to buying a copy! 2mo
