 Jasper, I'll check it out. You're right though this story does follow a sort of stream of unconsciousness and not any logical or chronological order. You obviously found that tedious but I found it quite exciting and rather unusual in rock memoir. There is also a lot of 70's style swearing in this book and lot of use of the word "c#nt" which is highly unfashionable these days. After reading this book I found myself using the word in conversation when I previously never would.
It caused me some embarrassment when I was addressing some high school children visiting my work place. When I was describing someone on staff and intending to say "silly old coot" I thought these kids won't know what the word coot means so my mind raced to find a replacement that they would understand. You guessed it, I slipped out a c#nt which is never a good thing.

 Hi Lee, I have this as part of a commemorative edition that was issued after his death in 2007. It is a combination of "Sex and Thugs and Rock 'n'Roll" and this book (comes in at 426 pages). I found the first book far more interesting and easier to read. It focused more on his early career a lot of it his time spent in Kings Cross the evolution of the Aztecs, adventures with local criminals and prostitutes. This book I struggled through much of it relating to his drug induced episodes in and out of reality and it lost me many times along the way. Anyway if you haven't read his first book - as Molly would say "do yourself a favour".

 Much better than I expected, drugs, groupies, bikies (read bikers if you're not Australian) with guns, fights and of course the music. Billy reveals himself to be quite a storyteller and very handy with the pen so all in all streets ahead of most autobiographies.
