Although published in 2004, I never got around to reading this.
I've just finished it and found it a good read and appreciated the way he demythologised what his fan base and the media had built up.
From a songwriting perspective, I was interested that mid- career when he was cutting an album in New Orleans, he went into the studio with only lyrics for a few of the songs, and he developed melodies while he and the studio musicians were working on them.
Anyhow - I recommend the book to anyone who hasn't read it.
