Given Joan Baez has been more in the news recently for falling out of treehouses than her music I did wonder, at the grand old age of 71, whether I would ever get the chance to see her live.

I Am The Rock Biography Queen
Although I've always read rock biographies, music books and autobiographies (interspersed with my usual fictional faves) in the past year I seem to have gone rock biography crazy. I've read loads, one after the other, and a great majority of them are tragic tales for some reason. Part of it is without a doubt because I enjoy increasing my rock and roll expertise but maybe, given the sad endings many have, part of it may be down to discovering that even those who seem to live impossibly cool and glamorous lives are not so impossibly cool afterall. Just like the rest of us in fact.
Whatever the reason, since I've read so many in the past 12 months I thought I've give a round-up of the music books I've read this year, and write a few things about each. Brace yourself, this is going to be long.
