Status Updates From Rock 'n Roll Heaven

The images showed Jimmy promising to call each woman soon, then showed them sitting by the phone waiting for him to keep his commitments. He saw lots of tears, a couple of thrown household objects, in one case a vinyl record broken over a shapely thigh, profanities rained upon the entire male gender, and eyes grown cynical. Da...darn. They believed me. I touched a lot of girls' lives, and not in a good way.

Parties I remember. People I remember. Which people were at which parties, don't ask me. Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be rockers

Jon’s death should have been a warning to Jimmy, but he went the other direction. If death was inevitable anyway, why not meet it head on in a Corvette doing 100 miles an hour? Jimmy started to drink more and more, and expanded his horizons as to what acceptable drug use meant. It took a toll. Between then and my late thirties, shit, I can't remember a lot.

What a neat book! As a music buff this is a great treat. It starts off with Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley talking to each other. There are a lot of mentions of good bands Rolling Stones, Ramones, Joplin, ACDC, and a bunch more. To make it even better it takes place in Washington State. I had no idea but then Inmon started to name of Yakima, Moses Lake, Walla Walla and some other cities in Eastern Washington.
