I'm reading it now. He should have talked to us, hahaha! Well, as you said, we all have Chuck Berry stories, and he couldn't have possibly talked to all of us. (I did get to interview Chuck in person once, under bizarre circumstances, but it was very memorable--my mom, who moonlighted as a waitress, waited on Chuck and a "date" on at least one or two occasions. She said that he was a good tipper.
Berry - and Ike Turner, for that matter - seem to attract a disproportionate level of disapproval for their personal lives in comparison with so many others. Must be a St. Louis thing..

Need to finish it off--I'm only on page 150 (reading an Albert Ayler bio concurrently). It's REALLY good, but it's R. J. Smith!
