    Searching for the Sound by Phil Lesh was pretty great, as was Cash, by Johnny Cash.

    I agree, great read. However, it made me want to do lots of drugs and hate drungs all at the same time.

    I liked The Hammer of the Gods, the Led Zeppelin story (although I heard that book was controversial with accuracy of facts)

    And of course, PJ has the greatest story ever about how they got together.
    Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)

    Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs - Johnny Rotten. I don't listen to the Sex Pistols very often, but this was a excellent autobiography. Highly recommended.

    Bill Graham Presents: My Life Inside Rock and Out - Bill Graham. Lots of stories from Bill around 60's/70's bands, and another well written book.

    Bob Dylan: Behind the Shades Revisted - Clinton Heylin. Who knows what to believe with Dylan's life story, but he's had an interesting one.

    Chronicles I - Bob Dylan - Same as above. Who knows what to believe with Dylan's life story, but he's had an interesting one.

    Shakey - Jimmy McDonough (sp?) - Neil Youngs biography. Light on the later (Freedom and on) years, but still worth checking out.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.
