Read a bit more, it’s good! Still chugging along :)

Actually took a huge break and thought I wouldn’t be able to keep reading it, but my friend left me his copy!

When I borrowed this book from my friend he tried to show me which chapters to skip, stating they’re boring and that I could reasonably skip past them. This is not the case. Every chapter has cameos and includes info from previous chapters in a way that is very deliberate. While you don’t HAVE to read them, you gain from the experience in choosing to.
So far I’ve enjoyed every chapter.

Bro I got made fun of on the plane for reading this because “what kind of nerd reads a documentary.”

It was my flight attendant and she was funny ash.

5/5 so far, even for the bands I don’t know (which tbh makes their failures a little more stinging - there may be a REASON I don’t know who they are…

Amazing so far. I love these types of books that give you an insight into the history of musical moments.
