Courtney’s Books: Mad World, Carsick
Two books I got for my birthday. These are both great. John Waters of course is brilliant. This is him hitch-hiking from his place in Baltimore to his place in SF. He is very clever and this is a really fun read so far. If you’re yet to leave on vacation get this before you go.
Mad World is great reference material for the most influential bands of the era and more importantly the “why” of their success. Actually or possibly more importantly is that its written by an amazingly clever writer. (And also one good and sensible writer (two writers). The gal Lori is stunning though. Totally worth the price of admission. Maybe see if there are some excerpts online and check out what I mean. Pretty incredible.
