    Ok, Austin, a couple more books I just received in the mail. Older ones but wondered if you've read them. One is Fab, The Intimate Life of Paul McCartney (I also wonder if Cathy's read this one) and I'll Sleep When I'm Dead by Crystal Zevon about Warren. They're both huge books so don't know when I'll get around to reading them. I've also put a book called Freak Out by Pauline Butcher on my Amazon wish list about Frank Zappa. Want to know what made his mind work the way it did.

    Anxiously awaiting next month's release of the Gregg Allman book!!!!!

    That Zevon book sounds familiar - I'll have to see if I have it or not.. I'm pretty sure I don't have the McCartney book though.

    There are several on my list that I want to get. The Allman book should be pretty interesting!!

    I saw where Bret Michaels and Peter Criss are writing books, and Joe Perry is considering the idea...

    I actually heard that the Joe Perry one is a definite and not to far off in the future!! Very cool!!!!

    Don't know how interested you'd be in this one, but I'm also waiting for the Billy Idol one to hit the shelves. I hear he was an excellent writer and they say he didn't need a ghost writer or much help. Interesting!!

    I hope so! Big Joe Perry fan.

    I would be interested in the Idol book I think - I like some of his songs (White Wedding, Rebel Yell, etc).

    Also I saw the Zakk Wylde book just came out too.

    I started reading this book & I found it hard to get through. I took it out of the library, but the beginning of the book was very dragged out. A lot of music theory in it. That stuff may be interesting to a guitar player, but to me it was too technical. I may get it again to finish it, but there were a few other bios I had at the time, so I just returned it.

    I liked Steven Tyler's bio. Seems he skipped over a bit of stuff though, but it was an interesting read.

    I've heard varying opinions. I don't think I'd find it hot. I hate the idea of a man getting off by completely controlling his sexual partner ala BDSM (bondage, domination, and sado-masochism).

    For those unfamiliar with it, here's the summary from Wikipedia:

    "The plot traces the relationship between recent college graduate Anastasia Steele and manipulative billionaire Christian Grey. Steele is required by Grey to sign a contract allowing him complete control over her life. As she gets to know him she learns that his sexual tastes involve bondage, domination and sadism, and that childhood abuse left him a deeply damaged individual. In order to be his partner she agrees to experiment with BDSM, but struggles to reconcile who she is (a virgin who has never previously had a boyfriend) with whom Christian wants her to be: his submissive, to-do-with-as-he-pleases partner in his "Red Room of Pain."
    Yeah. Not my thing.
