Iv'e just recently read his book (Lemmy, not TCP) and its an odd thing. More a stream of conciousnous than a detailed biography. He certainy has had a wild life, and witnessed the whole history of rock and roll from its birth to the present day.
I tried to make him laugh, He didn't get the joke, and then he said I wasn't right in the head.

I got the impression the book was put together following a stream of interviews with him and like a lot of rocker's autobiographies (just finished Ronnie Wood's and it's the same) you glean little on what actually makes them tick however, in Lemmy's book, I think you learn much in the preface when he talks about gettin chucked off his LA to NYC flight, his views on christianity, and then not much more other than he likes skirt and nobody can keep up with his speed habit!ravenlunatic wrote:Iv'e just recently read his book (Lemmy, not TCP) and its an odd thing.

Apparently, Eric Clapton's autobigraphy is very candid tho so might try that next.
If Dave was to use a Hammond L100 for just one more gig I'd die content.
