Being a rockstar is the intersection of who you are and who you want to be

Or it went something like that anyway. Slash. I'm a good third of the way in to his autobiography and I must say it seems that the rock and roll cliche' holds. Not that it isn't interesting. It's an entertaining read. So far the kid has been in to alcohol, marijuana, blow, heorin and a number of other things I can't recall right now. And he's only nineteen. The beginning of Guns & Roses, one of my favorite bands.

Slash is definitely one of the reasons I picked up a guitar to begin with. Appetite is one of my favorite albums and his guitar tone is one of the best in my mind. It's fun to get lost in someone elses life. But then again, it's a reminder of how nice things are in my own.

Give it a read if you have the time
