tony bennett's Journal

rock autobiographies of the damned
this exists.

and the product description is really fine, fine prose:

"Beautiful blondes attracted Erna like a moth to an open flame, and his affairs with them were intense and often unstable. Outwardly hardened, yet privately vulnerable, he couldn't open up. This, combined with his high-adrenaline lifestyle, seemed bound to catch up with him and did."

what did? blondes?

"Sully's story shows us that whatever hardship we may face, ultimately, our choices determine our destiny. He's made the most of every advantage and obstacle he has faced, and reminds us that we can, too. But for Sully, career success is not an ultimate destination. Every day brings a new fork in the road another path to choose."

thank you, uh, sully. thank you for teaching us your wisdom. who knew that a third-rate alice in chains cover band could go on to become gatekeepers of such sage knowledge? god has been smacked, indeed.

i look forward to learning even more about life when "yeah, oh, yeah: the art alexakis story" and "taking you higher or, how to oil your chest and stand in front of a giant wind machine: the scott stapp story" come out.
