Worthwhile Bio on The Kinks Just finished reading this book and as a long time Kinks fan it was certainly an interesting read.

The reader does learn things you would never learn reading a R. "One For The Bookshelf" according to The Maestro.

"Virtually every page unfolds a story of booze, bad luck or a punch-upthe drama grow's madder as the years pass." â?? Pat Gilbert, Q Magazine"While the Kinks were one of the most influential bands to come out of Britain in the
Ray and Dave were born into a deeply musical working-class family in London's Muswell Hill, a city recovering from the bombs and privations of the Second World War. The Kinks released their third single in August 1964. Followed by a string of hits, it marked the breakthrough of one of Britain's most innovative and influential bands, and a turning point in the fortunes of two brothers whose troubled story is as tumultuous and characterful as the music they produced: Ray and Dave Davies. Poked by sibling rivalry, furious on-stage violence, walkouts, overdoses, a career-throttling ban from the US, gross self-ind
