Many thanks for the book recommendation 'Rhinos, Winos and Lunatics' which I found online and ordered.
I'm about a third of the way in, and a better written, funnier story you'd be hard pushed to find.
Rock and roll band / musician / lifestyle excess books are my favourite genre having read hundreds, and this is already up there in the top 3 easily.
As Nugent would say, it's funny as f@ck mun, and you wouldn't believe the situations they found themselves in. Such a carefree lifestyle. I'm incredibly envious
