FAB (Fucking Awesome Book)
The Motel Life, Willy Vlautin
I got to tell ya, I've been putting off reading this book for quite some time for no other reason than I was reading other things and kept putting it off. It's been on my radar for quite some time but you know how it goes ... Other books appear in the way
I read it today, and the story is all things life. So much not said, and all the things said in between. Well spun, Willy. I love the book's voice. Not a word is wasted.
Throughout the book, I never had the glaring thought, "There's a device."
I read the devices. They are there. Yet they are natural oral history and story-telling family history things. Excellent read.
Love,
Grifter

Read that one as well. It is weird though. It feels like he mentioned Dickey 20 times throughout the book, which is weird considering how he has worked together with the guy for 20 years. And there is very little details of how ABB records were made.trailrider wrote:Read the excerpt in Rolling Stone. Might get that one next.ScottZeagle wrote:Finished the Gregg Allman biography "My Cross to Bear" recently.
Good read!

Books for your Pony
"Blind But Now I See: The Biography of Music Legend Doc Watson"
by Kent Gustavson, PhD ... Wonderful, maybe because I lived around there and was blind to anything in 1989 onwards. Wishful thoughts about how I could uh been.
Also, Appetite for Self Destruction ... it was okay with some interesting points along the way about mp3s and what not, but overall it was a gossip mag.
Love you,

p.s. My baby can see
