Finally picked up a copy, buck & a 1/2 at the Junque Shoppe. I realize it's been out a few years. Looking forward to reading the book.

Would love to catch a show or
Would love to catch a show or two at the Cap or Tower Theatre, but it's beyond my meager budget.
I did get to see Neil at the Tower for "Harvest Moon" tour, which was fantastic. (Holy Toledo, that was a long time ago !)

it's terrible. mostly Neil
it's terrible. mostly Neil talking about trying to write the book, Pono, and his electric Lincoln Continental.
read Keith Richards or better yet Patti Smith's "We were just(only?) kids" instead

Thanks Liquid.
I have the Keef autobiography and read most of it.
Love how he fulfills the paradigm / cliché intro chapter of every Brit Rockstar book; "I was born in an industrial neighborhood in a bleak suburb of Northern Leeds. My parents were grey and also bleak, but played the accordian and piano at family gatherings..."

That book is so poorly
That book is so poorly written it actually diminished my respect for Neil. I think he was too proud to get an editor. The biography "Shakey" by Jimmy McDonough is still the best Neil Young book I've read.
I just finished Jorma Kaukonen's book and thought it was a worthy read and decently written. The Keith book is great, hope there's a sequel. Just starting an autobiography of jazz guitarist Larry Coryell that one of my neighbors leant me. Jorma speaks highly of him in his book. Coryell grew up near Richland, Washington before living in Seattle for a couple of years, before heading off to NYC and his career in the music biz. Tales of dropping acid with Charles Lloyd in Manhattan were pretty funny. Decent read so far.

Dave,
Dave,
I have not ever located a copy, but "Neil & Me" written by his Dad is supposed to be a good one.

The Patti Smith book is 'Just
The Patti Smith book is 'Just Kids', and it's very good. Waging Heavy Peace, not so much.
Expected much better from Neil, he seems to have a difficult time following one train of thought for longer than 2 minutes.

"Shakey" definitely kicks
"Shakey" definitely kicks this books ass in terms of knowledge and craft.
"Just Kids" is a gem.
