Just finished this. I enjoyed it, relived a lot of moments of my teens and twenties as I loved many of these bands when they came out, but ultimately, the book left me quite sad as the story of lots of them (I would dare to say, almost all of them) is terribly sad. I guess you chuckrh lived a lot of this in first person.

Ya gongoro73 I was at ground zero for the whole thing. My glory days in the music business such as they were. There was a lot of good stuff, along with a lot of bad stuff. Certainly hard drugs played too big a part. Being that Seattle is 1 of the bigger ports on the west coast, there were a lot of them around (still are). Don't know if this made the book but for a long time there was a death pool in the industry about who was going to OD first Mark Lanegan or Layne Staley. Sadly, we know how that ended. I'll have to check this book out.
