This read left me with so much food for thought that I felt drained. Understanding what the band endured as they spiraled to fame and fortune explained so much about how all the rumors about the band evolved. Young men, extremely talented, create and live their dream, happiest only when they were playing their music. Yes, the author tells it like it was including how the media, critics, and fans affected the band members who became addicted to alcohol and drugs. When the drummer died because he choked to death because of his alcohol the band literally fell apart. It was sad but did not detract from the talent these musicians exhibited during their twelve year run. I like books that tell life as it is about real people.
