Back at the start of the blog I added a Google Form.
Please fill it in....
It is still there and you are welcome to complete it still.
One of the questions was about books with a musical theme which came to mind.
Here are a few suggestions from those who filled in the form so far:
The Philip Norman book on Elton John set an early high bar. I liked Keith Richard's candid "autobiography" "Life".
Matt suggested Neil Young's "Waging Heavy Peace".
Sandra said:
Brian Johnson's "The Lives of Brian". I loved this book. I learnt so much more about Brian and AC/DC by reading it. I didn't know how worried he was joining the band and taking over from Bon Scott. I also learnt a lot about his life in Glasgow as he grew up.
John suggested 'This is Memorial Device'.
I heard a lot about this book and bought it but it didn't click - reminded me of Iain Banks' 'Espedair Street'.
Stephen was all in on The Beatles, with the recent "John & Paul A Love Story" and also Craig Brown's book on the Beatles.
Brendan was in agreement on The Beatles, suggesting 'Beatles '66: The Revolutionary Year' by Steve Turner, a deep dive into the pivotal year of 1966 when The Beatles transitioned from pop stars to studio innovators, focusing on their final tour, and the creation of "Revolver".
David suggested "Sinatra: The Life" by Anthony Summers
More suggestions in another post later in the year...
