Finished that, it was a good read and pretty informative, though it seems to have been published shortly before Kim & Thurston’s marriage breakup and the resulting indefinite suspension of the band became public knowledge. Still, almost up-to-date and good book about some very un-rockstar rock musicians.
I am now reading The Lives and Loves of Daisy and Violet Hilton.
It is a fascinating story, and quite well-written, but I have some reservations about the book. The Hilton sisters spent a few years in Melbourne, Australia when they were very young. I’m Australian, I live in Melbourne, and the author has got pretty much every “fact” about the place he attempts to describe hilariously wrong.
So I’m reading it with a grain of salt, given that easily-checked “facts” obviously haven’t been checked.
Also, and let’s speak plainly here, the title pretty much promises hot Siamese twin sex. Yes, I do want to know the intimate details of their private lives, thanks. And I’m starting to suspect that the exact details I want to know are going to be glossed over. I’m pretty far into the book and it remains unclear exactly how the twins were connected and exactly how much they shared - were they separate apart from skin? Did they share any organs? I want details, damn it.
So, very interesting subject matter, possibly disappointing book.
