There's been a couple;
Kenney Jones. Let the good times roll
I picked this up, thinking that Jones,as Small Faces drummer, might give a new insight into the era. What a mistake.
Jones, as you might expect, has an ego,but he also doesn't really know how to tell a story. A row over money with Roger Daltrey, when he was in The Who, made me take Dalltrey's side easily. He speaks fondly about Ronnie Lane and Keith Moon, but it's the last couple of chapters, when he describes his life as a royalist, fox hunting tory, that really grinds the gears. I finished it with great difficulty.
Similarly, Dublin Gaelic Football legend Bernard Brogan, who describes his greed is good business life, was a big disappointment.
Myself and my brother regularly share books. When he read John Cooper Clarke's autobiography, he said " if you want to know about a boring, unpleasant man, go ahead ". I didn't.
