Fire and Rain

Thank goodness I finally finished this book. I have been reading it off and on since Labor Day and it is beyond clear to me that is not a good way to experience a book. I probably should have stopped reading it when I realized that it wasn't going to hold my interest (I was counting pages halfway through) but I had already listed it as “currently reading” and I don't break promises I've made to the Internet.

I'm sure that if the music industry is your thing and you have an extreme interest in the happenings of 1970 (I actually thought I truly cared about the 70s, but it turns out I didn't) then this would probably be a wonderful book for you. For me, it was all a jumble of names I didn't recognize or care about doing fairly boring things. I can only read about band members getting high on massive amounts of coke and heroin so many times. I realize that it was an in-depth look at an entire year, but I would have preferred the condensed version that didn't take an entire year to read. Not my thing. Now I know.
