Why read it?
1 author picked All I Ever Wanted as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The Go-Gos were one of the first bands I really got into as a kid and it’s fascinating to read bassist Kathy Valentine’s no holds barred look at the band’s beginnings and how the world of rock and roll treated women. I’ve read she had Patti Smith’s Just Kids on her writing desk as her north star while writing this book and it shows. She writes with warmth and honesty and isn’t afraid to talk about the bad things alongside the good.
From Mike's list on music memoirs that aren't necessarily about music.
