I went on a bit of an autobiography binge recently so here are my recommendations...
Andy Summers book is one of the best I've ever read, and not just for fans of The Police, he's a really good writer.
Stewart Copeland's book is as manic as you'd expect, there's about a page and a half on The Police and then he goes veering off on some other mad tangent!
Bad Vibes by Luke Haines is quite good from a pre-Britpop perspective but he does come across as a total knob.
The Gospel According to Luke from Steve Lukather is sweary and excellent.
Outside the Jukebox by Scott Bradlee give a good account of what it's like to make a career out of being an excellent musician with a novel idea and by being very social media savvy.
From the other side of the desk...
Abbey Road to Ziggy Stardust by Ken Scott is good if a bit dry but it's funny to hear how his wife evidentally was a bit of a radge who wound people up. Lot's of lovely stories about George Harrison.
Are we still rolling? by Phil Brown is a lot more colourful and chemically altered than Ken Scott's book and features Talk Talk and Mark Hollis alot. It made me listen to and appreciate Robert Palmer beyond "Addicted to Love".
I found the Keith Richards one to much into the drugs side of things. The zappa one is ace. I enjoyed the Michael caine one and the Bob Dylan chronicles.
Brian Eno - A Year With Swollen Appendices
I realise there is a bit of a Bowie slant there...
Chips are "Plant-based" no matter how you cook them
Donald Trump needs kicking out of a helicopter
I'm personally responsible for all global warming
I'm currently reading Mark Kermode's (the TV film pundit) How Does It Feel? which is about his varied musical adventures. I didn't know anything about that before I started, but it explains the way he dresses, and it's not a reference to 50s cinema staff... or only accidentally!
