Index > Is Ray Davies autistic or just a self-centered asshole? > The Kinks book I read was "God Save The Kinks"

It was Mick Avory and his Boy Scout leader

Apparently either Mick wasn’t too effected about it or was making the whole thing up because he made a running inside joke about it.

I may read either Ray’s sequel Americana about his time in New Orleans or Dave’s autobiography, but neither are a priority. A Man Called Destruction is probably next for my rock’n’roll reading. I’m intrigued by the Johnny Thunders bio because Mark Prindle claimed that it was the only biography he’d ever read where none of the people who knew him had a SINGLE good thing to say about him.
