Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I remember sitting in university art class with Anne Hoppus one day , and she remarked that she would like to be a writer. Now i believe her. Having been a fan of blink for many years, I found that Anne's book was touching and brought back wonderful memories of all the early shows and observing the band on the sidelines go through a tremendous rise to stardom.
The pictures are fantastic, a few of which I believe have never left the Hoppus bedroom archives. However, as with any band biography, some information is incorrect. There is no mention of the Short Bus 7", for example. Also, Scott's leaving the band is handled rather blandly, with no mention of alcohol, fights with Jordan or the infamous incident at the Hotel Coronado that left Scott's heels broken.
I highly recommend the book to any fan of blink. If you are a more recent admirer, it will be interesting for you to see the band's long history on the local scene in San Diego. But if you've been around awhile, and remember blink in the dungeon at Soma or the sidestage definately buy it! You might catch yourself in one of the many audience pictures.
Congradulations Anne!
