AllIWannaDoIs... Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 I just read a few pages of it in Chapters and it looks really interesting. I like the way it's written, with a few lines at a time from different people. Might go back to read some more pages..

Might go back to read some more pages.. i didnt know most of the interviewees so it can be a bit annoying to keep flipping back to see who they are. of course i zoomed to the green day parts first and then read the rest. there is a story about them being chased by skinheads in sacramento that was retold so funny. and billie joe always comments how scary things were all the time. its a great read...
American Basket Case Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 i didnt know most of the interviewees so it can be a bit annoying to keep flipping back to see who they are. Oral biographies are always like this. They make for pretty easy reads, but I'm always flipping back to see who people are, too, especially when there are 100+ people interviewed (I'm reading an oral biography at the moment, and I can't keep track of everybody).
novacaine_kid Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Definitely getting a copy of this looks great.

The site has a lot of stuff on it. I highly recommend it.
