If one is looking for insight into this person, this ain't the place to start. The author gives an account of his sex life - particularly his attraction to and affairs with married women, his desire for as many hot cars as he can get, the manner in which he manages to affront various people (including Paul McCartney), and his enjoyment of his fame. There isn't even a full account of the song used in the title. Webb also manages to include the names of just about every famous person (in music, especially) of the period. This is not an autobiography in the traditional sense, it's full of interludes and vignettes with little or no explanation as to why these were important or influential to him or his amazing ability to produce songs. It is a quick read (there's nothing to ponder here); he writes like he drives, as fast as possible with no thought of the consequences. I love many of his songs - they are wonderful - and I would like to have learned more about how and why he wrote them; he didn't include that information. One more thing: he was married to a girl with whom he had several children; the girl was twelve when he met her and he was 22, they married when she 18 and their baby accompanied them down the aisle. No where in this book is she mentioned or even hinted at. Why?
I must start by saying I worship Jimmy Webb, as a songwriter and as a singer. I have every LP and CD he has recorded. I have all his early work with everyone he won a Grammy with or made famous. I was thrilled when this book was released and I felt the title would tell so much. Unfortunately, it is waterlogged.I was really hoping this would be a story of the music industry, as it revolved around him, in the late 60s. The development of songs, the orchestrations, the people, his process, yada-yada-yada. You get the idea.Instead, what one has is a book that is beautifully told, as is a Webb song, I mean the poetry on the pages are magnificent, but leaves you with nothing--that cake in the rain would have tasted better. The book swings between his family in Oklahoma and his life in LA mostly in 1969. I will admit he does weave them very very well..but that is it.This book is nothing, and I mean nothing more than Jimmy name dropping. Every person he has every met, every worked with or just saw in Hollywood he goes into detail about them. Not, and this is key, not as it relates to his music or career, but just how mesmerized he was in meeting them or them knowing who he was. It is Jimmy writing of his own self importance, it is sickeningly egotistical and righteous.If you are expecting anything, and I mean anything having to do with his music or his songs during his start in the 60s--forget, it, it's not there, it is not even discussed. Oh, and forget about the age old question being answered about that cake...it isn't even baked in this book.
Jimmy Webb, Jimmy Webb, Jimmy Webb. I've heard the name forever as I love the 1960s music scene. But for me this book was a little flat. Sure, plenty of name dropping and collaboration with stars and quite a few hit songs and interesting side stories. But this book writes of the 60s for a while and then would pick up 5 years later and then jump back. It does it repeatedly and knowingly as it labels this like chapters. Why? Why can't you do this chronologically? Why so much time on his attempt to be a recording star when the real story is his song writing? Honor him for what he is great at. So overall, a little bit of a slog that I won't recommend unless it is right on top of your reading interests.
Jimmy Webb is obviously one of the greatest --seriously, right at the top--contemporary songwriters.Books?Not so much.I read a lot of this genre, and don't expect great "literature" although it sometimes happens.But this is some of the most overwrought, self-indulgent prose ever published. It's not fun, or cute, it's...painful.Jumping back around in time doesn't help, and the device of the devil companion/partner gets real old, real fast.There are some interesting stories about other stars, and life on the road, but there are so many obvious errors you have to take all the stories with a bigger grain of salt. And you have to pick through a lot of nonsense to find them.I know the name alone will sell, but it seems like a publisher should have exerted just a bit of melodrama control.It's very rare I regret a book purchase but this book does achieve that.
