Motley Crue - The Dirt
by Neil Strauss
Like all books about rock stars, once you know the truth, the illusions are shattered.
Herion addiction, alcohol & drug abuse, jail time, it's all here. A group of fragile personalities collide together in a quest to be accepted and liked. Through forming a rock band they achieve this acceptance and along with the fame, a bucket load of money.
With little emotional maturity and development, they waste the money, abuse their bodies and spiral down a decadent descent into self destruction.
The most interesting story in this book is the guitarist Mick Mars and his battle with a degenerative bone wasting disease. There is no cure for this disease and he deals with pain on a daily basis. He finds solace in his music and is the most centered person in the group.
The rest of the band are on a continual journey of self discovery after crawling out of the pit of substance abuse.
