What a lost soul! Great writing voice. Candidly honest. One of the best books I've read. Generally speaking, I don't like memoirs because "celebrities" tend to come of as "me, me, me". Rick Springfield shares his demons and struggles to overcome them in brutal honesty that I know I couldn't do. Excellent read.

Very honest account of a rise to fame by a troubled soul.
I was surprised at how well written and honest the book is, although Rick does omit information that would hurt another person, such as his wife. I may not agree with the way he has led his life, but hopefully he now sees the errors of his ways and has mellowed into a more moral person, though I'm not sure that if he found himself in a tantalizing situation, he would be able to control himself. Kudos to his wife for standing by him, though one wonders why. Rick better keep his boys from reading this, that's all I have to say! And I wonder how many other children he has out there.
I enjoyed reading the true story of Rick Springfield
