Everyone Loves You When You're Dead: Journeys into Fame and Madness by Neil Strauss
This was VERY interesting to read. Neil Strauss has had an amazing career and interviewed so many famous people. My favorite interviews in this book were Noel Fielding, Russell Brand, Johnny Cash, Lady Gaga, Pharrell(who was always too busy and kept asking to reschedule), Hugh Laurie, Ryan Adams(the constant "Fuck off"'s had me crazy amused), Steve Coogan(just because he came across as a total prat), Radiohead, Neil Young, Hugh Hefner, etc.
Liam and Noel Gallagher were the usual selves(wankers), Paris Hilton said shockingly racist things, Britney Spears was Britney, Christina Aguilera was a bit of a spoiled brat(but still interesting to read about), Kevin from the Backstreet Boys shared his idea for an album with a picture of a lollipop titled "Suck on this" , Hanson were young and naive, Courtney Love was bonkers, Julian Casablancas was being a total dick and that's just a taste of what is present in this book.
Mainly it was interesting because these aren't your typical interviews. Neil Strauss tries to go deeper than most people and asks random questions. I liked seeing the vulnerability in Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera. I liked how Neil Strauss tried to connect with these big names and get them to open up to him. It was just all very intriguing how we get to see the real people behind the celebrity and also how Neil Strauss ended the book with life lessons which he learned from all these interviews.
