Pete Townshend's Autobiography-"Who I Am"
Posted: Tue Dec 31, 2013 11:02 pm
I'm just finishing the audiobook, narrated by Pete himself.
The Who are in my top 3 bands of all times, but this book does its best to kill any passion for the band. He comes off as whiny, self-congratulatory and most of all, boring. The book is an endless parade of yachts bought and sold, women he really loved and "deep and meaningful" solo projects. It reads like a shopping list.
The Keith Richards book wasn't great literature, but it was at least interesting and that guy seems like he has some fun.
A massive, disappointing drag. Avoid.
