Most enjoyable read Summers is an interesting (and very good) writer, a somewhat Baroque, gonzo style that is both insightful and often laugh-out-loud funny. As he points out, when he first started playing in a band as a teenager there were no "guitar heroes," no MTV, no stadium rock, or any of the trappings one now associates with the industry. He was there during the metamorphasis, and the book is an inside look at this cultural revolution, a series of real-life adventures, often bizarro; it's (fortunately) not an analysis of an era, the thing just flows along, what makes .

There are many great rock moments that dazzle—hanging with Clapton, jamming with Hendrix, hallucinating with John Belushi—but the less extraordinary memories make for a more compelling narrative: he recalls his childhood in England, where, after an "immediate bond" with the guitar, "the spiritual side of life slowly fills with music."
