Book Review: A Must Have Autobiography
Summary: 4 Stars
Wow, what a book. With each new bio or auto-bio that I grab from my rock and roll heroes, I find new and fascinating things. Not just in the content of course, but in the way these things are being written. There appears to be grey-matter behind some of these rock guys! My last book was Bill Bruford's autobiography. It is an extremely well-written, intellectual book that takes a little time to savor. Very British, very literate. Stewart throws another style at us. Equally intelligent and interesting but also hi-energy, and, like the man, full of humor and a cool source of all things Police, if that's what your after. Laid out not too chronologically, the author gives us lotsa background on his solo meanderings as well as the more famed stuff. I was surprised to read that he's not just a drummer (though that's aplenty in my book) but plays guitar, keys, etc. All around musicman. And film score producer as frosting. Grab this book and enjoy it. Its worth every penny if simply just to enjoy his quips about his love/hate thang with "Stingo". This is one cool cat.
