I picked up Pete's memoir 'A Likely Lad' in an Audible sale. I quite like Pete's music but am not a full on fan. Much of his life has been one long soap opera. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. I love music biographies but was not expecting Pete to be so forthright and open. This is no "my drugs hell" memoir. What's striking is just how enthusiastic for getting totally out of it he remained for many years. He's very casual about habitually smoking crack, taking heroin, injecting ketamine etc. He approached stints in rehab as an obligation he did for other people (the justice system, bandmates and so on) and regarded himself as a fully functioning addict. This despite a trail of death, squandered money, a kid he barely saw, unreliability, prison sentences and so on. Total carnage. He's unapologetic about most of this stuff and very matter of fact. Certainly a life lived on his own terms. It's also sent me back to the music which is frequently better than I had remembered....

i wish Pete would put his demos on Spotify. like Shaking and Withdrawn, Untitled and Stookie + Jim Bumfest, etc. much prefer him when it's just acoustic. all the solo stuff he's done with the band and orchestral instruments has been rubbish imo. Grace/Wastelands aside maybe. sounds like farmer music.
