A VIP at Simon & Schuster gave me a preview copy of this book. I put out my hand to take it as if I were being handed a live spider. An aging punk rocker, reading an entire book on the singer/songwriter was not my idea of a good time. I read it on the train returning from New York. What a fantastic book!!!! What an education in trailblazing feminism! With lots of sex, drugs, and a constant parade of celebrities to keep you entertained. Lively and irreverent, it’s a tribute without fawning. I want to read everything Henry Alford has written now!
