Each to their own, I suppose. Personally speaking, the "who I fucked next" style autobiographies I find tedious and tacky.

The factual stuff could well come across as 'boring' I agree (Wyman's autobiography was a snoozefest for the most part), but it all depends on how it's written - Dylan's 'Chronicles' being a good example of how it CAN be done.

However, Mick is a different sort of subject matter. Any publisher throwing a few million at him for an autobiography is going to want the salacious stuff for that kind of investment.

He'll never do it. There wouldnt be the money in it for him to bother, anyway. Things have changed so much since the mid 80s. He can make more money playing a couple of weeks's worth of concerts than he ever will from baring his soul in a book.

Dylan is a good prose writer. Mick might not be.

There's the catch.

Dylan somehow even managed to write a candid autobiography whilst at the same time revealing pretty much nothing about his private life.
