You know what I've always wanted to read? Crazy From The Heat, by David Lee Roth. Has anybody read it?

Um...
does Ham on Rye Count?
actually technically does most Bukowski qualify?

Oh and of course that Nancy Spungen Novel written by her mother....forgot the name, heard it was good. I have too much other shit to read right now though.

Scar tissue is a fun book, even if you're not a big chili peppers fan.

I'm reading it now. I'm only to chapter 14 but I am enjoying. Thanks for the recommendation!

I appreciate all the titles, everyone! This is great. I'm on a real bio kick!

Petals: I'm putting "songs my mother taught me - marlon brando" near the top of my list, he was an interesting character... also, I thought I'd read everything on the beatles but I'm pretty sure I don't have 'the love you make'. I'll pick that one up, too!

I'm almost afraid to read this one (but I will). Can you believe she outlived her kid? I'm bracing myself for the insanity already!

Bump:
I'm reading the Warren Zevon biography I'll Sleep When I'm Dead. It's pretty fascinating, I didn't really "get" his music until recently but this book is pretty intense. He had a CRAZY life

The Zevon book was a really good read. It took me a while to get used to the format: how it's written from several different perspectives. It's got tons of info about the era and other artists and 'characters' that I found really interesting, too.

How much time do you have? Seriously, i could discuss Biographies/ Autobiographies/ Memoirs all day. I collect them and they're taking over my goddamn bedroom. I don't even have floor space anymore

It will take some time to compile a list, i will return to post tomorrow!
