?favorite music autobiography/biography?
 
well what have you? i would say my favorite is "cash". johnny cash may be classified as a country artist... but he was a ****ing rock star. a great song writer as well.

And a special mention to Showbusiness: The Diary of a Rock 'n' Roll Nobody by Mark Radcliffe because it's one of the funniest books i've ever read.

"I, Shithead" by Joey Shithead is the only one I've read.

And I didn't finish it yet.

Elliott Smith and the Big Nothing is really good, the Bob Dylan chronicles are amazing. I like reading music biographies, I don't like Hendrix but I gained a bunch of respect for him after reading his. I use to have respect for Jim Morrison after reading his i've decided he was just a dick. Cash is great.

Motley Crue's The Dirt was pretty good.
Marilyn Manson's was a disappointment.
