And even those had inaccuracies. Though I'm sure not intentional
ones. I wish an author the caliper of Guralnick would tackle a
biography about Stevie.
Come to think of it, if we want the truth it might be better if Stevie's
not involved. So Steven/Stephen write on about the Gold Dust Woman.
I'm sure I'll pick up a copy.

Oh, I have read a good biography about Heart, this one; Kicking & Dreaming: A Story of Heart, Soul, and Rock & Roll by Ann Wilson, Nancy Wilson and Charles R. Cross. It was really well written & in the right order in which things happened.
But Steven Tyler's biography, on the other hand, was a mess! I had a hard time following it, it jumped from one year, then back years, then back again. And then you don't know if half the stuff he said in there really happened, with the drugs & everything.
Yeah, you really don't know if the stuff in Stevie's book will be accurate. Perhaps like you said, if Stevie wasn't involved. I may read it.
