Bill and any other Replacements fans, definitely pick this book up. I've just finished reading it, and it made me go back and listen to a bunch of their albums that I haven't touched in a long time.
And if you also like REM, you'll find some great quotes from Peter Buck.

I Will Dare still sounds timeless and classic all these years later.
