There are few artists in the history of rock 'n' roll more glorious than Neil Young. And there are few artists in the history of rock 'n' roll more infuriating than Neil Young.
Both sides are on full display in "Waging Heavy Peace," a Young autobiography that is essentially what you might expect if you've been following this mercurial artist over the last five decades.
It doesn't give you the answers you want. It spends time noodling around with whatever Young feels like talking about instead of what most readers would expect or wish for. It's not a particularly satisfying book, but it is an interesting one.
