Title: Been Down So Long This Reads Like Garbage
Review: This book reads like a gossip column. The only difference is that the author reveals his sources. The idea is sound: use data from hundreds of interviews and write a non fiction novel from the point of view of a fly on the wall. It simply does not work. The people whose lives and relationships are now being scrutinized produced some of the best music and literature that their generation had to offer. Instead of praising them, though, Hajdu seems to want to destroy the myth by exposing the baser sides of their personalities.Spend 20 bucks on something by one of these four that you don't already own rather than buying this.
