This week I have been doing my daily travel in the underground with Mötley Crüe book The Dirt as my travelling companion. The book in the Westminster library (where I borrowed it from) is credited to Tommy Lee, but every band member and few other characters get to tell their stories of how it all turned in to full blown rock'n'roll debauchery as a life style.
To quote my friend Min after she read the book:"You are just gobsmacked at the level of insanity as you turn the pages, but somehow they manage to top all that groseness on the next page!"
"After the Rainbow each night, we'd walk to Santa Monica Boulevard, where all young rockers and actors who never made it were pimping themselves. We'd scrounge up enough of money to buy an egg burrito from Noggles. Then we'd bite the end off and stick our dicks into the warm meat to cover up the smell of pussy so that our girlfriends didn't know we were fucking anything stupid or drunk enough to get into Tommy's van." -Vince Neil, from chapter 3 of The Dirt-
Yep, it is about awfully gritty, self centred chauvinistic male behaviour topped with abusing every possible drug invented in a general "cesspool of depravity".
Entertaining book? Oh yes, but I cannot believe what total pigs (sorry pigs!) these guys were/are. I don't think that using other people for sport is very rock'n'roll...at all. But sadly, each to their own and live and let live ;)
