Default Summary?

Can anyone fill me in on this? What is it about and how’s the reaction/aftermath? It would be highly appreciated 😊

One of the things that was interesting about that book was how remarkably uninteresting it was. Skipping over the fact it was averagely written, it did not reveal anything of deep interest. I liked some of the stories but at the same time when reading I was constantly considering what is true, what is embelished, what is an outright lie, and what is just poor memory.

I wouldn't call it uninteresting. I always found it a nice look behind the scenes of a touring band. But you're right that it didn't reveal anything very special. For most part it revealed the stuff everybody expected from a rock band either way.

Talking about embellishment: I always found it quite amusing how he described that every band member and every roadie screwed every groupie they wanted to but that he himself alsways was the angel of innocence with no escapade ever happening.
Yeah, since he already was married with his current wife it absolutely makes sense that he didn't incriminate himself. But that always was a point that bothered me.

Why do you think certain characters, such as the record company execs, in Bohemian Rhapsody were replaced with fictional characters?

I get the feeling that it may actually be reinterpreted for Netflix to be about fictional bands based around the stories in the book, rather than actually naming real bands. Too risky...
Seeing how much Francis is bragging with his „Johnny“ experiences on Twitter these days, I would be very surprised if they only used fictional characters…
