I think they all need to be taken with a grain of salt.

That goes for any biography, whether it's written by somebody from the outside or a band member.

Yep, that's definitely true. Regardless of the band. Even an "authorized biography" from one member of any particular band. He/she could be jaded about something from 20+ yrs ago or 2 months ago and it can show in the writing and story telling. Always 2 (or more) sides to every story.

When I read biographies, I usually do it more for the entertainment value of it than the supposed "factual" aspect of them.

The one I noted focuses almost 100% on the music both onstage and in the studio. No drugs, groupies, or other salacious crap.

After 50 years the question is why can't I still get into Led Zeppelin?.

The band were musically just a three piece band with limited sound so maybe if the band had brought in a second guitarist to fill out their sound they would have been a lot more interesting to listen to with a fuller sound?. Guitarist's from the same era the 1970s like Rory Gallagher could front a three piece power trio cos Rory could play 'all over and up and down the guitar' when and if he wanted to where as Jimmy was a pretty boring player.

Peter Grant wanted to manage Rory Gallagher but Rory turned the offer down.

This takes me to Salinas Valley... and doing a Stienbeck homage about 2 lives ago:
( Live in '75 here...captures the essence though.)
