Resumen del Editor
At 21, Kathy Valentine was at the Whisky in Los Angeles when she met a guitarist from a fledgling band called the Go-Go's - and the band needed a bassist. The Go-Go's became the first multi-platinum-selling, all-female band to play instruments themselves, write their own songs, and have a number one album. Their debut, Beauty and the Beat, spent six weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 and featured the hit songs "We Got the Beat" and "Our Lips Are Sealed". The record's success brought the pressures of a relentless workload and schedule culminating in a wild, hazy, substance-fueled tour that took the band from the club circuit to arenas, where fans, promoters, and crew were more than ready to keep the party going.
For Valentine, the band's success was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream - but it's only part of her story. All I Ever Wanted traces the path that took her from her childhood in Texas - where she all but raised herself - to the height of rock n' roll stardom, devastation after the collapse of the band that had come to define her, and the quest to regain her sense of self after its end. Valentine also speaks candidly about the lasting effects of parental betrayal, abortion, rape, and her struggles with drugs and alcohol - and the music that saved her every step of the way. Populated with vivid portraits of Valentine's interactions during the 1980s with musicians and actors from the Police and Rod Stewart to John Belushi and Rob Lowe, All I Ever Wanted is a deeply personal reflection on a life spent in music.

Historia
One of the most successful music acts of all time, Dire Straits filled stadiums around the world. Their albums sold hundreds of millions of copies and their music - classics like “Sultans of Swing”, “Romeo and Juliet", “Money for Nothing”, and “Brothers in Arms” - is still played on every continent today. There was, quite simply, no bigger band on the planet throughout the '80s. In this powerful and entertaining memoir, founding member John Illsley gives the inside track on the most successful rock band of their time.

Matt Pinfield is the ultimate music fan. He's the guy who knows every song, artist, and musical riff ever recorded, down to the most obscure band's B-side single on its vinyl-only EP import. As a child, music helped Pinfield make sense of the world. Later he would approach his music idols after concerts and explain why he loved their music. As an adult, rock music inspired his career, fueled relationships, and, at times, became a life raft.

Iggy Pop's legendary career has been tumultuous, reaching great heights with mega-hits and then hitting rock-bottom lows in jail and mental institutions. Along the way, he's become a cult-rock hero, an inspiration for dozens of other famous rockers, and has had a pretty good time of it, too. But the image of Iggy Pop versus the man behind that image, James Newell Osterberg, Jr., is surprisingly contradictory.

In the second half of the 20th century New York was the source of new sounds, including the Greenwich Village folk scene, punk and new wave, and hip-hop. But as the end of the millennium neared, cutting-edge bands began emerging from Seattle, Austin, and London, pushing New York further from the epicenter. The behemoth music industry, too, found itself in free fall, under siege from technology. Then 9/11/2001 plunged the country into a state of uncertainty and war.

He also lifts the lid on what went on behind the closed studio doors, shedding light on the unique creative processes of some of the most legendary names in music: from Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks, and Elton John to Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Springsteen, and Aretha Franklin. Lukather’s extraordinary tale also encompasses the dark side of stardom and the American Dream. Frank, engaging, and often hilarious, The Gospel According to Luke is no ordinary rock memoir.

Jon Fine spent nearly 30 years performing and recording with bands that played various forms of aggressive and challenging underground rock music. And, as he writes in this memoir, at no point were any of those bands "ever threatened, even distantly, by actual fame". Yet when members of his first band, Bitch Magnet, reunited after 21 years to tour Europe, Asia, and America, diehard longtime fans traveled from far and wide to attend those shows.

Brandi Carlile was born into a musically gifted, impoverished family on the outskirts of Seattle and grew up in a constant state of change, moving from house to house, trailer to trailer, 14 times in as many years. Though imperfect in every way, her dysfunctional childhood was as beautiful as it was strange, and as nurturing as it was difficult. At the age of five, Brandi contracted bacterial meningitis, which almost took her life, leaving an indelible mark on her formative years and altering her journey into young adulthood.

Keith Morris is a true punk icon. No one else embodies the sound of Southern Californian hardcore. Short and sporting waist-length dreadlocks, Morris is known the world over for his take-no-prisoners approach on the stage and his integrity off of it. Over the course of his 40-year career, he's battled diabetes, drug and alcohol addiction, and the record industry. My Damage is more than a book about the highs and lows of a punk rock legend, however.

James Hetfield, with whom many years ago Mustaine founded a band known as Metallica, once observed, with some incredulity, that Mustaine must have been born with a horseshoe up his ass. That's how lucky he's been, how fortunate he is to be pulling breath after so many close calls. And Hetfield is right. Mustaine has been lucky. He has been blessed. But here's the thing about having a horseshoe lodged in your rectum: It also hurts like hell. And you never forget it's there.

Historia
From the moment their hugely influential 1978 debut landed, Van Halen set a high bar for the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, creating an entirely new style of post-'60s hard rock and becoming the quintessential rock band of the 1980s. But the high-flying success was fraught with difficulty, as Eddie struggled with alcohol and drug addiction while simultaneously battling David Lee Roth over the musical direction of the band, eventually taking the band in an entirely new direction with Sammy Hagar and scaling new heights, before that iteration of Van Halen disintegrated.

When musicians in the New York folk scene of the 1960s grew tired of city life, they decided to "get it together in the country". They headed for Woodstock - not to the site of the infamous music festival of 1969 but to the Catskills, to Bearsville, to Woodstock proper. Counterculture revolutionaries like Janis Joplin, Richie Havens, and Paul Butterfield got "back to the land", turning the once sleepy hollow into a funky Shangri-La.

Enjoyable listen, with music interludes
Well written, easy to follow, but we seem shortchanged at the end. After AA rehab, we are rushed through an ending that includes Another break-up of the band, a dismissal, assorted adventures, a marriage and child rearing...a paragraph of words. Would read/listen to Part 2, which is given a short shrift

Absolutely enjoyed Kathy's story
Arriving in L.A. in 1982 in my 20s, I loved hearing about the many L.A. clubs and places Kathy highlighted, the rise and fall of this iconic L.A. based band who I got to see perform many times, and the reunion tours they all needed to have in their later years to remember the great legacy of music they left for all to enjoy! Also liked the songs she wrote and performed at the end of several chapters. I know she has another book of stories in her to share even more personal band members experiences!

Great story and storyteller
I most enjoyed ‘All I Ever Wanted’ as an audio book. With the writer vocalizing the story, I get a much more in-depth feel for it. This is the second Go-Go’s-related book I got into. Kathy does a great job telling her story. It’s interesting to learn about each individual’s band mates perspective. I love the rise and she started playing, writing and performing. Well done.

A cut above
I was expecting a stereotypical rock memoir but this was much better than that. Telling some of the events in both prose and song was very effective. Valentines narration is a bit understated but effective. I didn’t come away completely understanding why a group of people with such success would sabotage it repeatedly, but I did feel like I got a fascinating look at a very creative, vulnerable, and resilient person.

I love reading and listening to true stories, especially when narrated by the author. They bring deeper emotions to the story. Some of the things she went through are just heartbreaking. I learned things about songs and performers I grew up listening to but didn’t know.

Honest and Heartfelt
I loved Kathy’s bravery to be so honest about her successes, her failures, her thoughts, her emotions, and her childhood. I was also impressed with the quality of her writing. I really enjoyed this story as an audiobook since it included her music throughout.

Good read!
Everyone has a story and Kathy’s is interesting. I really enjoyed it! Especially if you love music and have been around musicians.

My Favorite GoGo!
I was 16 years old when my best friends brother snuck us in to see X at The Whiskey in LA. The punk scene was in full throttle and everybody kept talking about this all girl punk band that was there to see LAs favorite, X! Three weeks later we went to the masque to see The Go-Go’s. A few months later we snuck in again to see The Go-Go’s at the whiskey with their new bass player and I was immediately smitten. She was a fucking rocker and I had a crush!
When the Go-Go’s first album came out I was stunned and surprised by its pop slant but was still enamored by the energy that surrounded this band. You could just tell something special was happening.
Last November I traveled to Cleveland to see the go-gos get inducted with one of my other favorite bands the Foo Fighters. While in Cleveland I heard about Kathy’s book and bought it right away. I have been reading it and listening to it for the last month and finished it tonight. One of my favorite quotes is “the journey is better than inn”. Kathy Valentine’s journey as laid out in this book is extraordinary and her storytelling, writing and voice make you feel like you are there experiencing every detail. I am going to buy this book for all of my friends and especially for my daughters. I loved Kathy Valentine before this book… I cherish her now! Thank you for telling your story Kathy!

Great Ride!
Kathy Valentine was always my favorite Go-Go. She was/is sexy and snarly and has fantastic bass lines that really made a signature Go-Gos sound. While I didn't follow them like I did other bands, I always respected them and as an adult, appreciate them so much more. I'm jealous my brother got to see them on tour in the early 00's with B52's and sad I missed them before they amicably broke up to end it on top after the Rock Hall induction.
I love a good Rock and Roll bio and All I Ever Wanted doesn't disappoint. It's a great ride and a view of an interesting time in both American and music history. The internet has made the Rock and Roll experience fade. Some parts are hard to read and sometimes I wonder how a lot of these people survived. Kathy Valentine doesn't glamorize the experience of the excess -- she tells the story in a matter-of-fact way. This is a woman that learned from every experience. She's honest about her trial and error recovery process. Survival and Victory with some great musical interludes make this such an interesting listen!
