    I have loved The Byrds from the very first time I heard the very first notes from that Rickenbacker guitar. And this brilliant singer and musician's soaring harmonies. You provided both the joy and the melancholy, and much of the soul, from the top, for one of the greatest groups in the genre's history. Always be thankful for you, David.

    I just finished reading the book after reading the three Police autobiographies. Excellent read! The autobiographies were also very good but, like all autobiographies, there were gaps in the narrative and the stories were somewhat sanitized. Which is not to say that the Stafford & Stafford book was full of lurid sensationalism - it wasn’t - but it did not avoid facts that the three musketeers protagonists found too uncomfortable or impolitic to discuss in their respective autobiographies. I also found many of Stafford & Stafford’s asides and short digressions in their book hilarious. I read many band biographies and few are as well written and entertaining as this one.

    • @cindyfalstrom7231
      @cindyfalstrom7231 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@frankshailes3205 I have read three biographies on Steve.. The first was "All Too Beautiful" by Paolo Hewitt who also wrote a lovely book on the Small Faces - "Small Faces: The Young Mods Forgotten Story". Paolo was a writer for a music paper and was contemporary, so is the only one of these authors who actually met and interviewed Steve. He is oviously a fan, so glosses over most things negative. However, some people have critized it for having factual errors, maybe, but it is well written and very enjoyable. I love this book best and have read it several times. I don't want to know the ugly things about Steve. But if you want the real story warts and all... The second book I read was -"Gallagher/Marriott/Derringer/Trower , their Lives and Music" by Dan Muise. As the title suggests the book covers four artists. This book has little narrative and the story is told mostly through direct interviews with quotes from people who were there. Very interesting. Lastly, the most recent book which just came out a couple years ago is "All or Nothing" by Simon Spence. This book is very dense and again uses the format of telling Steve's story through numerous interviews with family, bandmate and friends whose quotes makeup most of the story. I have a love/hate relationship with this book as in my opinion it seems to me that the author doesnt like Steve very much and puts a large focus on the negetive aspects of his personality. IMO of course, but I don't need to hear from every person who Steve insulted or was mean to. However, it is honest and thorough. This book is the most informative, I just didn't enjoy it much as some sections kept me up at night (like the descriptions of his death). It's honest, but not as fun as the Hewitt books. If you enjoy rock bios, here are a couple other related books I really enjoyed: "Best Seat in the House" by Jerry Shirley, drummer for Humble Pie. Jerry met Steve when he was just 14 and Steve saw his talent and mentored Jerry. Jerry drummed for Steve and was a close friend for many years. He tells many behind the scenes stories which are a lot of fun. Also, for more info on Ronnie, Mac and Kenney. I really enjoyed "Had Me a Real Good Time:Faces, Befor, During and After" by Andy Neill. This is a very enjoyble, dense and informative book. I recommend all of these books, some I have read multiple times. Some of these books are out of print, but I was able to find used either through Amazon, or other used book outlets. Hope this was helpful 😊

Was including the BB in the title a way to sell more copies? The last chapter Leaf sounds like a white guilt liberal acknowledging the privilege. California, such a lovely place now. Reply
