DUFF MCKAGAN Receives Rough Edit Of Upcoming Book
January 27, 2011, 13 years ago
DUFF MCKAGAN - formerly of GUNS N' ROSES, currently in VELVET REVOLVER and LOADED - has issued his latest blog for Seattle Weekly. An excerpt follows:
"Many of you already know that I have been writing a book over the past year or more. Well, this week I got back a first and very rough edit, and I have, for the first time, sat down and read the whole thing.Here's the deal: In writing so much about my own life, I have found so many places where for so long I have placed blame on others for this failure or that shortcoming. It's not like I haven't worked on resentment in my sober life, because I really have. Or so I thought.
Both of my parents passed away within the past 10 years. My mom was a saint in my eyes, and raised us eight McKagan kids with the courage of the whole Allied Forces in WWII. I think she knew how much I loved her and appreciated all her lessons shared, but did I tell her all this when she was still alive? Surely not like I would now."
