No personal experience here at all, but to anyone who finds this fascinating/crazy, I absolutely recommend a read of "Sing Backwards & Weep" by Mark Lanegan. It's a personal account of his struggles as an addict while being the lead singer of "Screaming Trees" during the late 80s - 90s "grunge" era. He doesn't hold back at all. Couldn't put it down.
Just downloaded it to add it to my ever growing list of books. Also, I think t will help entertain me for a while. Thanks for the sugesstion!
Enjoy! :)
Just finished it. What a great read! So gritty and riveting. The guy had a flare for storytelling.
Oh wow, that was quick! Yeah I couldn't believe it when I heard he passed away...even after all of that, it was such a shock. Glad you enjoyed it!
I could not put it down! So yesterday was a dry toast kinda dinner around here until momma was done with her reading lol.
IKR?! All that messed up sh1t he did to his body and some people don't live to tell the tale. It was a sad thing to learn how the girl from Hole died as I had no idea (and I grew up in the nineties!)
