https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2018/04/did-drinking-give-me-breast-cancer/

Long article and I've just started it, but it's asking the question about the alcohol industries deliberately suppressing significant connections between their products and various cancers.

I like to collect and read autobiographical books, preference being from rock & metal musicians. I have a lot that have been signed by the musician as well but man I hate it when you order or preorder a signed book and when you get it it's just a blank sticker that's been signed and stuck in the book. It's like the book seller thats handling it just sends the stickers away to the author who signs them and sends them back.  Happened to me a couple of times now. Last time was Nikki Sixx's updated reissue of The Heroin Diaries, no fault of his I suppose, more just kinda false advertising from the seller.


I've had Bruce Dickinson's book "What Does This Button Do?" sitting there for nearly 6 months, I really should start reading it...

My brother found this book for me in an opp shop for $3.

Looks to be quite a decent book with some great photos and archival tour stuff.

You should check out Ian MacDonalds Revolution in the Head. Regardless if you like Beatles or not, 'cause it's also a great account on the cultural and political changes of the 60's (ofcourse tied up with Beatles' music). (And, yeah, it's not autobiographical, ofcourse)

Read Duff McKagans It's So Easy (And Other Lies)?

It looks VERY official with that font/logo on the front... :P  :problem:

(that does ofcourse not mean it's a bad book, unofficial books can be just as good as official ones. I just had to poke fun at you, and more important; at Maiden... :) )

For $3 I ain't complaining, actually, didn't cost me anything. It's not like my brother was chasing the $3 he paid for it.  :smug:

I have a copy that I read about 4 or 5 years ago. It was enjoyable and I quite liked the Ozzmans view on reality.
