Re: (TV) fave rock biographies/books

["Russ Van Rooy" <russvr@blarg.net>]

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this one, "Richard Thompson the biography"
by Patrick Humphries . Schirmer Books, 1997 . It's a pretty engaging read. I
think a lot of it was pretty second hand as was his bio of Nick Drake.  I
also liked the biography of Patti Smith by Victor Bockris and Roberta
Bayley.
