After such a horrible year for you, I really hope this is a sign post for a better year to come. Well done!

I haven't read it yet (and not sure if I want to, after seeing the reviews). I HAVE read the Jimmy McDonough bio (Shaky), and the David Downing one (NY, The Man and His Music), although quite a few years ago, and thought they were both very good. Of course, they all have some mention of Joni in them and, admittedly, these older ones won't have anything on Neil from the last decade. I was just wondering how they stack up against Waging Heavy Peace, in the eyes of the rest of you.

I remember a few people commented on that book when it came out, I was very excited when I heard about it, since I'm a big Neil fan (he's second only to Joni in my list) and love autobiographies of all kinds. but I must say it's not the best autobiography ever written... it not so very well written, not always coherent, and simply boring in some of the chapters (to me at least), but I did enjoy parts of it. I am about a third of the way through Waging Heavy Peace, and it is slow going because, as Carmel said, it is badly written and organized even worse. I'm not reading it for Joni content, but am hoping to find some insight into what made him who he is, not merely a semi-chronological account of his upbringing and early years as a musician and songwriter.

Re: Joni, I noticed that Graham Nash, when interviewed by Terry Gross in November, didn't say anything about Joni - bet he got his hand slapped after writing about her - the whole "spanking" story that you all spoke of here - this is how I know about it, don't have his book but intend to get it. Neil not talking about Joni I'm sure was by design. She's very private and so is Neil, in his way. He'd rather talk about "ideas" than gossip. For sure he and Joni were deeply connected, we all know that. Leaving her out might have been out of respect for her privacy. Being her is not easy. We want to "know" her and yet, a lot of her life is simply none of our business and just because we choose "public" lives by being performing artists does not mean our private lives are up for grabs. Think about people like Robert Redford. He does a great job at staying out of the press unless he's promoting a project he is passionate about. This is also by design. I respect him for this. Especially when we have so many people "over-sharing" like all the reality stars and even the newer big artists and musicians. Nothing is sacred with social media and how much these folks seem to thrive on attention of any kind. Blah, blah, blah. I'm preaching to the choir here, I know. Back to Neil's book. Not the greatest piece of literature in the world but I'm grateful to have anything from him that he's willing to share. I'm fascinated by how his mind works and how he keeps his music pure -whether it's "good" or not. He's got his head into many different areas - not just music. Check out this interview with Charlie Rose for more on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qznv7ydKKYc Happy New Year!!
