Getting hired on acid, preposterous drinking on stage, waking up to an elephant while in a benzo blackout all culminating to his musical romance with folk/pop sensation Jewel and the story of 'You Were Meant for Me' followed by the classic  decent into Rock and Roll excess and misery before rising like a phoenix into recovery!   So much good stuff in here!
