Ginger Baker's Autobiography

Just attacking Ginger Baker's recently published autobiography Hellraiser -and it looks like Baker wrote this with only a little help from one of his daughters.The style is plain,  straightforward, no-nonsense and candid - especially his drug intake followed by his sex life and lack of  patience. He corrects several "errors" he's found in Clapton's ghost-written auto-biog. Considering we have been long forewarned of Jack Bruce's biog is to be published in the near future, I wonder if Baker felt the need to get in first? We get some of the reasons for the love/hate relationship between Bruce & Baker, but as yet I'm still wondering why  they have returned to play music together time after time since the mid 60's.

 A full review in the near future.

Well this is interesting, but a guy's gotta wonder, just how much does he actually remember?

i don't blame clapton for saying he'd never play another gig with baker and bruce,they are total twits!
i doubt ginger baker remembers enough to write a boook on it all,unless he kept a journal and he does'nt seem organized enough to have done that.

This Los Angeles professional guitarist has met Mr.Baker a few times at the Anaheim NAMM shows throughout the years...
A very kind,friendly gent indeed;and his memory was fully intact and Mr.Baker had the ability to store,retain;and recall information of his life's experiences.

Blessings to all.
