kenjariA Man Called Destruction: The Life and Music of Alex Chilton, From Box Tops to Big Star to Backdoor Man
by Holly George-Warren
This biography of influential rock musician Alex Chilton never really got off the ground for me. Despite the importance of Chilton's work and dramatic highs and lows of his life, George-Warren's biography of him failed to sustain my interest. There was a lot of good information on Chilton's life and music, but it just wasn't compelling, and worst of all, did not fill me with a desire to listen to the music discussed. Maybe this book would work better for someone more into Chilton's work. but it fell pretty flat for me.
