Bumping Into Geniuses: My Life Inside the Rock and Roll Business by Danny Goldberg
4.0
Bumping into Geniuses was good in that Goldberg worked with many of my favorite musicians: Bruce Springsteen, Warren Zevon, Tom Petty, Jackson Browne, etc. I also liked that there was no glorification of drug use for creativity or of drug users, particularly in the discussions of Kurt Cobain's death.
The section on Warren Zevon had me crying a bit, just because his talented wasn't as recognized and he didn't achieve it until he was terminally ill (and afterward) or maybe it's more that he didn't start writing his greatest works until he knew that his time was limited.
