Trouble Boys

I reviewed Trouble Boys HERE; today at Salon a writer points out how scarily accurate the book is and how it's not just another "they rocked!" nonsense thing:

By the book’s end, though, your heart will be broken. You’ll be furious at the band’s inability to play it straight, to grab the gold ring, to step into the spotlight.

The epilogue, usually the place in a biography for some ray of sunshine, will either make you weep or turn you catatonic, page after page, waiting for the roller coaster to come to a stop.

Also, fantastic short interview on NPR with Trouble Boys author Bob Mehr:
