I had a really hard time with his writing style but I loved the story...but Life was much better. I agree.

I too was disappointed in Clapton's book, but really enjoyed Keith Richard's "Life". Gave me a whole lotta respect for Keith's musicianship and his relationship with Mick. I've always considered the Stones a more successful but less talented version of The Who, but that book helped level out that opinion.

I didn't much care for Clapton's book. I did like that he was brutally honest about his own misbehaviors, and took responsibility for them.

I've heard nothing but rave reviews about Life. It's on my list, for when I get three seconds to read again.

I just got Sammy Hagar's RED on the Kendel fire. About 35% done with it.

Its bold and in your face, sounds like he is talking right with you while having a beer. Talks about what a control freak Ronnie Montrose was, What an A$$ Sly Stone was,
I have not gotten to the VH years yet.

It is probably in my top 5. Till I finish this is my definate top 4
