Fat Freddy Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Finished Lita Ford's book "Living Like a Runaway" this morning. It was a quick, mostly entertaining read, tho it's extremely self serving, as you might expect.... Lita certainly has an inflated opinion of herself, she gives herself waaaay too much credit for being some kind of guitar innovator. Granted, she may be considered a trail blazer for female guitar players in rock but geez, to hear her talk herself up in this thing you'd think that no woman in history had EVER touched a guitar before she came along, and that she's right up there with Ritchie Blackmore or Joe Satriani in the skill dept. Her divorce and the loss of custody of her kids is glossed over fairly quickly, presumably for legal reasons, so no light is shed on that situation. Interestingly, she never mentions Jim Gillette by name; she only refers to him as "my ex-husband." She also publicly disowns the "Wicked Wonderland" album, saying that the entire project was controlled by her then-hubby, which is not exactly a shocker. Now moving on to: "Tearing Down the Wall of Sound: the Rise and Fall of Phil Spector" by Mick Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Freddy Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Nerd Girl Rocks Paradise City: Faking It in Hair Metal L.A. by Anne Soffee--effin' hilarious memoir by a small town rock critic who headed out to L.A. during the waning days of the Hair Metal era hoping to become the next big time Rock Journalist God ala Lester Bangs or Legs McNeil. As you might expect, the streets of Los Angeles were not exactly paved with gold by the time she arrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinsane Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Been a while since I did any pleasure reading but just wrapping up the Sebastian Bach tome 18 and Life on Skid Row. SPOILER: pretty incoherent thoughts with not a lot of substance and the structure is pretty scatter brained at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
