Hello Listeees!! First post...be gentle! A great bio/rock book in general is Diary of a Rock Star by Ian Hunter the lead singer of the seminal glam band Mott the Hoople. I believe it came out initally in '73 or'74 or thereabouts, then disappeared...It was a minor masterpiece!!! It was his detailing of the bands first US tour and is has all the drug/drink/hotel trashings type of excesses told in Ian's wicked brutal truth style.......Its funny, sad, revealing and it makes u feel as if u are sitting across from Ian as he tells u all this in some run down breakfast nook in Gary, Indiana........In a word, this book is the bomb!! Its been re-released in the UK I know, within the last yr Damn I wish we Yanks could get our grubby mits on it here!!! Love, Kim (last name soon to be Cole from Tonbridge, Kent!!..I say, "I Do!! Zak!!) Billings, Montana USA..... The only B&S fan for at least 1000 miles!!!! this place is a cultural wasteland! (i.e. cowboys dont know jack about indie music!!)
