Review Quotes

"David Bowie has always been a consummate mythmaker, and this fascinating anthology captures him at his most mysterious and mischievous, laying himself bare and building walls around himself in the same mercurial instant."--Peter Doggett, author of The Man Who Sold the World: David Bowie and the 1970s

"Is there anything better in the bawdy, pimply, punky realm of rock than reading an interview with Keith? It's not just that he is rock 'n' roll incarnate, the half-man-half-guitar Human Riff and all that. It's the stunning honesty, rakish self-deprecating wit, and pure raunchy nobility of Keef that makes you want to listen to that croaky, Jack Daniels-marinated voice forever. And now you can: all 288 pages of distilled 100-proof ganja-cured Keith." --David Dalton, author, Who Is That Man?: In Search of Bob Dylan and James Dean: The Mutant King on Keith Richards on Keith Richards

"Open and raw, these well-chosen interviews portray a warmth and depth akin to the feeling created by Keith Richards's autobiography, Life. Sean has dug deep to reveal these unedited, fascinating, and rare interviews that traverse Richards's career over a near 50-year period." --Martin Elliott, author, The Rolling Stones: Complete Recording Sessions on Keith Richards on Keith Richards
