First half of this was pretty good. I always enjoy the “getting the band together/getting successful” parts of music memoirs. The second half falls apart entirely with just a bunch of bitter rants about legal battles and band feuds. I've seen people write books about their bands and their breakups/legal troubles with much less time to process that came across much less bitter and angry than John does here. It's been almost 50 years, maybe you don't have to “get over it”, but you should be able to talk about it with less ire. Really ruined this read for me, he didn't come across well at all during the second half.
