Holiday gift-giving: 7 memoirs for music-lovers
In her memoir, the Sleater-Kinney guitarist covers her turbulent family life in the Pacific Northwest, the rise of Sleater-Kinney in the feminist punk-rock movement of the 1990s, and how her experiences in that subculture inspired some of the satire behind "Portlandia," the TV series she co-created. This journey into the mind of the artist goes to Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul in Mexico, the graves of Plath and Rimbaud and other spots that have inspired her. The Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman covers his Northern California roots, the success of Creedence and his revival as a solo artist in "Fortunate Son," named for the classic track by the 1960s band.
