wasted Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 why do we like these types of books. Is it just to read about people getting f'd up on drugs and surviving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) Ice-T's bio is great. I'm in the middle of the Steve Jobs bio right now. He's my kind of asshole. Edited January 9, 2012 by ITW 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) What happened to Username?Anyway:Songs My Mother Taught Me - Marlon BrandoBob Dylan ChroniclesMy Booky Wook - Russell Brand (he writes like he's Kenneth Williams or something, it's funnyNo Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs - John LydonEvil Spirits: The life of Oliver Reed Dear Boy: The Life of Keith MoonJohn Lennon has a great one by his main biographer fella and Paul McCartney. Pretty much all my favorite artists, there was a time i went and sought out the definitive recognised sort of biography of them and read it so i've read loads but i tend not to remember books so well.Slash's one i suppose i quite liked, Keith Richards one was great. There's a great one on Iggy Pop whoose name i don't quite recall.I'll tell you a shit one though, I, Me, Mine by George Harrison, hardly any biography in it and it's all scattered and then just a load of photos.Redemption Song by Chris Salewicz is a bio of Joe Strummer which is brilliant. and Too Fast To Live Too Young To Die by Alan Parker which is a book on Sid Vicious is also quite good.

GivenToFly Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 CAD's Boomerang Law: If an active user creates a post announcing they are voluntarily leaving the community, they will almost certainly return. The length of the post is directly proportional to their likelihood of returning and inversely proportional to the time it will take for them to return. However, if an active user suddenly disappears without announcing themselves, and it was not because they were banned, the chances of them returning are much less, let alone the chances of them being remembered outside of the occasional "hey, what ever happened to MacGuffin?"
