mushroom 12,971 Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Martin Luther king Pat Garetts book about billy the kid Billy Connelly A couple about Bob Dylan Read a few to be honest, I’d say the best ones have been about Pink Floyd and their highs and lows of each other. Sid Barret was absolutely nuts. oh and read one about Keith Moon years ago that was defo a crazy read. Edited January 8, 2022 by mushroom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Read one about Keith Moon mate, a biography by someone, probably same one… mental!! the Motley Crue books are good, Nikki Six heroine diaries (what an insight into addiction!!) and Tommy Lee… mental, sex, drugs and rock and roll!!

DIDO.1 22,838 Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) My Camp: Life in the French Foreign Legion https://g.co/kgs/9dY9BN Enjoyed this one as its a modern foreign legion book. My brother did the legion twice. Deserting the first time and joining up and getting in again under a false name. I've read a few legion books recently and the modern ones seem nearer to what he must of experienced. It's one part of his life he doesn't over talk about so I don't push him on it much Edited January 8, 2022 by DIDO.1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kinell Charts, they're old, I bought the first one for mother's birthday, when I was about 18 lol. The Mr Nice ones are quite a good read, Mrs brother sent me the first one down and a while later I went to an Evening With Howard Marks, got him to sign it: to Wayne, good toking, Howard Marks. Gave it back to him next time we went back up North and he said "I didn't like the cnut, anyway" lol Used to have loads but car booted them when we came out of the pub, mostly sports and entertainment people.
