Loved the parts on his life growing up, his music career, his acting career and starting his radio station. The parts regarding his activism and political comments left a sour taste. Hollywood artists need to keep their politics to themselves regardless of where they stand.

A really gripping read to an underappreciated, underrated, unfortunate disciple of soul and rock and roll. A musician who should have got the credit he deserves. Bruce would not have the career he had without Little Steven. A real genuine guy and a music hound.

What a fascinating life Stevie has had. This book is educational, funny, poignant, and vulgar (in the best way). A real page turner of an iconic, unique artist and man.
I'd have given it 5 stars but for two things:
- Stevie's influence both musically and politicially is well-documented and important, but you'd think every good thing that happened in Springsteen's career was down to SVZ and that Mandela only made it out of prison cos of SVZ!
- You can teach girls martial arts all you want, Stevie, it won't stop rape. That bit pissed me off.
4/5.
