Big_Stu Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Just reading this auto-biog. I'm finding it compulsive, though quite thin on the ground with any detail on his days with Dr. Feelgood. Seems a [i]right decent geeza[/i] and has some excellent inside stories and little observations of the music biz, which are always great to see in music books. Glastonbury doesn't get off lightly either . His affection for Norman (W-R) is clear as soon as he appears in the story and is spot on (fwiw) to the couple of times I briefly met him - and I also spotted the pool of sweat that Norman is soon standing in when he gigs as Wilco observed. Few people will ever walk in Wilco's shoes in relation to his illness - and fewer still I imagine would have the matter-of-fact attitude towards it if they did.

yorks5stringer Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Saw the Blockheads maybe 5 years ago, NW-R was wearing a light-coloured suit and I watched with some amazement as it got darker and darker as the night progressed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
