Prospekt. Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I was thinking I should read some. But I only want to read them if they're about people I care about and you know, if the biographies are actually good. Plus, if my local library has them. Right now I think I have "U2 by U2" on my list. And that's it. Anyone have any suggestions please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 i dunno if you like rhcp, but "scar tissue" by anthony keidis is pretty good. also, "room full of mirrors" by charles r. cross. its on jimi hendrix(: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e!f Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 ^good advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospekt. Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 I like a few RHCP tunes, not so much the other stuff mentioned. So I don't know, I would feel kind of odd reading a Bio if I don't even know the music well. Did Morrissey ever write that autobiography? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospekt. Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 what if its not in danger yet? PS. Has anyone read U2 by U2. Is it any good? I'm gonna go pick that up when I'm done my other book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 ^I've always wanted to thumb through that. I have a copy of "exit music", a biography on radiohead my brother bought, but it was published in 2000, which sort of misses the whole story....

Prospekt. Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 ^Yeah. I was looking at that one. Is it post Kid A? Anyways, my library doesn't have it. I dunno if it's worth picking up if it "sort of misses the whole story." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzybear Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I've browsed through U2 by U2 and yeah it is pretty good.... from what I read & saw. But really even if your not an RHCP fan Scar Tissue is still a good book for any fan of rock music or just music in general and all the stuff we dont even have any idea about that these bands go through.

Prospekt. Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 Hmm. Yeah. I read up on it a bit. Lots of drugs and sex. I think I might read that one. It's on hold though so I'll probably have to wait a while. Thanks for the suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedGirl76 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Surely your library could get any book for you, even if they don't stock the book themselves? If you like Blur, Alex James' "Bit of a Blur" is excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
