Elliott Smith: Nobody Broke Your Heart
Nobody Broke Your Heart: An Intimate Biography of Elliott Smith by Jamie Fisher. Dutton/Penguin/Random House (560 pages, $34.00)
I read a lot of rock and roll biographies. But I can't think of any that are able to combine clearheaded honesty and emotional engagement as well as Jamie Fisher's new Elliott Smith biography....

@GLONO@mastodon.social good essay. I don’t really read rock biographies but I like your insight.

@GLONO@mastodon.social Oh wow, thanks for the review. I went to college with Smith (and Gust). Did not know them personally but saw Heatmiser a bunch. I'll see if I can get my library to get that.
