Love it. Not quite sure what "it" is, but I love the graphic.

Tubes? Lightbulbs? Diodes?
I was looking online for house lights and they have SSSSSssssoooo many types I couldn't figure out what the standard light base is???
I'll just get them from the store like I usually do.

@MoonLit_Water , weren't you talking about a Tom Petty bio a while back that you were reading? Was it the Warren Zanes book? If so, I agree with you completely. I'm about 1/2 way through and the bio is just amazing. I've always liked and admired Petty, but was never a "die-hard" as such. That's changing now! SO many things in his career I was unaware of. And the lead up to it all, the early years with the Epics and Mudcrutch was fascinating. He went through the same things that every 14 year old kid who "acquired" a guitar and started learning went through. All the bands, and almost-bands, the petty jealousies, fights, letdowns, etc., not to mention the ,um, distinct lack of finances. What a great read. Was like reliving all my old days. But...without the fame/success he achieved:D. Completely recommend this to anyone who loves music!

First, sorry for the delay in responding. Just aint been logging much computer time lately.


But, Yep that is the book I was speaking of.

And also if You haven't yet check out the film "Running Down A Dream" it's 4 hours long but stays interesting the whole way through. Although it could be watched in pieces. Lots of old footage and interviews past and present from band, crew & production team.

Its available on Qello concerts if you subscribe, it's a cheap subscription well worth it. $5.00 month.

Also they did one of those "Classic Albums" shows for Damn The Torpedoes Which is well worth the watch as well

A few other musician bios worth checking out

Life - Kieth Richards
It's only rock n roll. If you thought Keith was cool before, read this book you will redefine cool and Kieth will still be on top.

A Natural Woman - Carole King
If thought you respected Carole King before, read this book and You'll understand this woman is a Goddess.

Waging Heavy War - Neil Young
Reading this book is what You would imagine having a conversation with Neil would be like,

All the above are auto-bios



I'll Sleep When I'm Dead: The Life And Times Of Warren Zevon - Crystal Zevon

Crystal Zevon is/was Warrens estranged wife who apon getting his terminal diagnosis, He called apon to take care of him, and take notes. This book is the result.

Springsteen's Auto-Bio started out awesome, entertaining, and inspiring. clarified a lot of stuff for me ( i once was a huge fan) and a lot of insights to stuff I knew nothing about. Then it flutters and falters and gets kinda sappy. kinda like his career, sorry bruce gotta call like i see (hear and read) it.

Unfaithful Music - Elvis Costello I found amazing and hard to put down. Very detailed and elaborately written as one might expect, and it's a long book. So probably the bigger fan You are the more you would enjoy this one. But it's top shelf five star platinum level literature as far as i'm concerned.
