Reader Feedback:
• Awesome book!
• I just loved the book and all the stories you tell. Thank you!
• I loved every page. I just ordered another copy for a friend of mine as a birthday gift. It was so great.
• This is the first book I’ve read from start to finish in over 20 years.
• I mostly read music autobiographies, and I must say this one is absolutely in my top 10. It was so well-written.
• I wish I had the same life experiences. What a journey you’ve had—and still ongoing!
• I bought this book for myself, and after reading it, I had to buy two more for my grown-up daughters.
• It's so great to read a book written by someone who was actually part of this life, not someone else telling the stories second-hand. You wrote it yourself, and it’s fantastic to read about what happened on the tours. The photos are fun to see too.
• The book was great. I couldn’t stop reading it. What a life! Plus, all the behind-the-scenes extras with more photos were wonderful. And I love your music, too. You are amazing. Love from a big fan in Argentina!
