Publisher's Synopsis
"Popular musicians' autobiographies are one of the most important ways that stars create, negotiate and perpetuate the realities and myths of their lived experiences for fans. Using a radical and inclusive definition of the genre, this collection explores musicians' autobiographies as articulated in print, on stage, and through various expressive media as a dynamic factor in contemporary culture. These narratives function beyond thrilling fans with a sense of intimacy, as they attempt to create a narrative or reclamation on the musician's terms"--.
