Not really my thing but I warmed up to it a little after the first half. Well written and with a properly developed and believable narrator.

A fascinating look at the way the music industry contributes to destroyed lives, told in tandem with the journalist's own self destruction, with his behaviour and struggles at best ignored or at worst lionised by the industry he works in.

An interesting read but mostly well trodden ground at this point - but that's more my fault for taking 4 years to get around to reading it. 
The chapters on antisemitism and religion were the most interesting. I'm not American so didn't know about Henry Ford for eg and the idea of people turning to paganism as a link to a "white past" and because Christianity was "tainted by Jews" was a new one.
