Fahrenheit-182 (
) #Autobiography #Emo #Music #Nonfiction #Punkrock
A smart, funny, and refreshing memoir from Mark Hoppus, the vocalist, bassist, and founding member of pop-punk band blink-182.
This is a story of what happens when an angst-ridden kid who grew up in the desert experiences his parents’ bitter divorce, moves around the country, switches identities from dork to goth to skate punk, and eventually meets his best...

Why we believe @JohnCleese avoids talking about @MontyPython in his memoir, and yet, why it’s still worth reading. We review #SoAnyway: http://the-agency-review.com/so-anyway #memoir #autobiography @CrownPublishing #comedy #humour @JohnCleese #MontyPython
In The Way of the #Hermit, Ken Smith offers a profoundly #human portrait of #solitude—not the performative kind, but the hard-earned, bone-deep kind that comes from living off-grid in the #Scottish #Highlands for over 40 years. #BookReview #Books #introvert #introversion #nature #Scotland #Biography #Autobiography #Philosophy

After Elton John had great success contributing songs for Disney's #TheLionKing, Disney asked Phil Collins to contribute songs for Disney's #Tarzan. He was happy to say yes. His work on this film took four years: he wrote and sang its songs. Because this is an international film, he sang in Italian, Spanish, Castilian Spanish, French, and German for the versions played to different audiences, and Phil Collins won the Oscar for #BestOriginalSong. He was delighted.

This week I am reading #NotDeadYetTheMemoir by Phil Collins. That book is the source of the information in my previous message and in my next message. #music #autobiography
Good morning! Wishing you all an amazing day filled with sunshine, love, laughter, high energy and positivity! Other than the usual chores, I’ll do more laundry since it’s a never-ending job. Started listening to Cher this morning. It is her autobiography and is read by Cher herself. Love autobiographies read by the author.
Be kind to yourself and those around you, hug tight those you love most and smile, you make this world a beautiful place when you do!

Above the Noise () #Autobiography #Nba #Nonfiction #Sports
From one of the most outspoken and respected NBA athletes comes a groundbreaking and remarkable memoir chronicling a very public struggle with depression, in the hopes that other young men will not suffer alone."As men, and especially Black men, we don’t talk about our mental health enough. We struggle to admit when things aren’t okay, even when it’s obvious to everybody...
Boosted, now reposting. This is important. That f'ing #LINO has absolutely no intention of improvig life for the 'proles' (which is how he sees anyone outside the elite class). As soon as he's had his #autobiography written he'll be off like the rat he is. (soon to be published, 'My rise to the top of the greasy pole whilst coining it big style')

finished reading The Collected Schizophrenias: Essays 
Essays on the author's experience of schizophrenia (along with bipolar, PTSD & chronic Lyme!) in the US. Fascinating & unsettling view into psychiatric hospitals, mental health 'support' in Ivy League colleges, and what the hell a psychotic break feels like. Blimey.

Thanks to the #MutualAid community on TikTok, my partner, our two cats, and I are able to leave the extended stay hotel we’ve been struggling to stay sheltered in, and now have an #RV to call home.
I’ve started a playlist with RV-based content as a positive turn-around to hopefully come back from this #depression and share our experiences:

As a #disabled #queer #artist who makes #AltRock music, art, and does other projects to earn a living, I’d sincerely appreciate any support; especially through streaming my music, getting merch or custom art from me, and supporting ( @magicalgrrrl ) my partner’s music and merch.
I currently have a children’s #storybook that I wrote and illustrated, on hold for (self)publication. It is a family-friendly book about my experiences with #homelessness stemming from childhood #abuse from the perspective of a cat.
I’m also slowly but surely working on an #autobiography about my experiences being #ActuallyAutistic with #CPTSD in hopes of reaching other people with similar stories. #Trauma and #HealingTrauma is also the main point of my music.
If you decide to check out the music, get some art, or some merch, thank you!!

You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train: A Personal History of Our Times by Howard Zinn, 2002
By any standards, Howard Zinn has led a remarkable life as teacher, writer, and social activist, a life in which those three categories are viewed not as compartmentalized tasks but as part of a unified identity.
NENEH CHERRY’S AUTOBIOGRAPHY weaves a fascinating tapestry from her distinctive life: her joys (love, family, friends, art, nature) and her sorrows (losses, deep grief, addiction). Like a heart-to-heart with your coolest friend. B PLUS

I listened to Me by Elton John on #audiobook. 5.0
The #autobiography of a favorite #musician, read by the actor who played him in Rocketman.
#StoryGraph Onboarding #Challenge
Prompt 1: Read a book in your least-read genre
Didn't think I would cry, but I did. 
Loved hearing about the #songwriting, making #music, and stories about other rockstars. Grateful I got to see him in #concert twice, once with Billy Joel.

I read Albert Facey’s autobiographical A Fortunate Life as a kid. I don’t remember much about it apart from a hard childhood in remote Western Australia and then enlisting for The Great War. I saw that the 1986 made for television mini-series is on Tubi at the moment, so I’m giving it a watch.
Just finished Eric Idols autobiography and it's a bit like the 'Which Was Nice' character from The Fast Show, he talks of all his jet setting holidays with his celebrity friends. I'm very jealous #ericidol #montypython #autobiography #bookclub #bookstodon
