Since I was writing a book about my spiritual journey through rock music, this book seemed like a no-brainer to read. Padel offers some good analogies between rock musicians and Greek gods, but it's too intellectual for the most part.

I enjoyed her chapter regarding rock music being misogynistic, and interview with the female lead singer from the band Garbage. She's also got some hilarious quotes from Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders. ( )
