I suppose I should have known... I expected this book to deal with the so-called "evils of rock music," what with the Bible verse printed on the palm of what I can only assume is the author's hand on the cover, but sheesh -- the church where I used to play guitar rocked far harder than this book.I got the impression that the author was striving to raise eyebrows and shock those church people who read the book by implying that he had been immersed in a maelstrom of sin; lost and then found, as it were. But as I skimmed through this lightweight memoir, I realized that it is nothing more than another sensationalist piece by a wannabe rocker. I gave up on it at the point where the author smoked pot at his first KISS concert (at age 15) and subsequently hallucinated and passed out. Of course, I suppose it could have been laced with PCP, but...Anyway, I'm glad I got this for free. I would have been sorely disappointed if I'd paid full price for it.
