A few years ago I decided I liked his songs and lyrics so much I wanted to read his book. It's a book of reflections about his life, and at some points almost like a diary or a journal.
I remember at one point in the book he described an episode where he felt really down and depressed, and was recovering from a physical injury at the same time, so he decided to take a 3-day weekend to relax, and felt all back to his normal, upbeat self on Monday. I remember thinking, geez, 3 days is nothing. He either (a) was not being really forthcoming about his ups and downs in life, or (b) has lived a very charmed and lucky life, or (c) really is so resilient that he can bounce back from anything in a couple days. I hope it's (c) -- more power to him, if it is.
Anyway, has anybody read this? What did you think?
