Yeah, I just mentioned this one the other week... a classic indeed!
My favorite chapter has to be the one with his internal dialogue going on about writing liner notes to Phil Collins 25 greatest love songs... I was laughing so hard I was crying... I've recommended this book with the warning that it has an unfortunate side-effect of acting as a diuretic.
Someone else recently mentioned two books by Don and Jeff Briethaupt:
"Precious and Few" (Early 70's pop) and "Night Moves" (Later 70's pop)
....and these two are also well worth time looking for (You can get them cheap on Amazon)
Absolutely hilarious stuff!
