Is 9 books too many to read about one band?
Yes. Yes it is. But I did it anyway.
Fingers crossed something constructive will come out of this.

WOULDN'T IT BE NICE: the first half is a bitter, derivative account of the life of Brian Wilson up to the 1970s. The second is an unrestrained hagiography of Dr. Landy, his abusive psychotherapist. If you know the true story, this becomes a wild ride.

NEAREST FARAWAY PLACE: thorough to an insane degree. This book spends more time on the history of the hula hoop than it does on several albums. Great insight into family history/dynamics but the closing chapters suffer from being repurposed articles.

Going to find out if every 35 to 45 year old I've ever met was right or whether they'd just had their brains ruined by alcopops and dial-up internet.

Saw this on Ebay a while ago and now I can't stop thinking about a parallel universe Only Fools and Horses that's exactly the same as this universe's but everything is train themed.
