It's So Easy and other Lies
by Duff McKagan
Duff McKagan was the bass player for Guns N'Roses during their flaming twelve-year existence. He went on to co-found Velvet Revolver and do a solo album and collaborate on many others. So that's a reason to listen to his music, but why should anyone want to read his autobiography?
Because he quit cold turkey from an alcohol and drug habit of near legendary proportions and he stayed off. For good. One short lapse into a prescription drug addiction reminded us, the readers, that he was a real human being, and reminded him, the addict, that he's always going to have to fight it.
It's an amazing story of an amazing life. We all face the demons, but some of us are wimps and some are warriors. It's good to read about the warriors.
