Synopsis

The Kinks defied the rigid hierarchy of British society to create a new wave, and then next wave, of rock and roll. The band has stayed front and center of transatlantic rock music for an incredible three decades. Here co-founder Dave Davies reveals all-- about the band, the scene--including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Who--and his brother Ray in a painfully honest, sometimes euphoric autobiography. photo insert., The autobiography of a member of the Kinks, chronicling for the first time the inside story of the band and the British invasion., The co-founder of the long-lived English rock group The Kinks recounts his turbulent life in the whirlpool of pop stardom, his notorious feuds with his brother and band-mate, Ray, and his long affair with singer Chrissie Hynde.

Even with the UFO's... It's the KINKS!!!
Even with the somewhat odd bits about communicating with ET's this book is far better than Ray Davies' pseudo-Orwellian "X-RAY" if you want to really get into the Kinks' experience. Dave Davies' account is ten times more readable, actually contains family pictures that Ray did not include in his unauthorized autobiography, and is a slightly goofy, far-out, and totally friendly read. Dave's account is fun and transparent in all of the opposite ways that Ray's was buried, then masked and cloaked, then disguised as fiction. I could barely finish "X-Ray" because it was so totally pompous and contrived. Ray is the better songwriter of the two, I think, but his book is unreadable. Too many cheap smoke-and-mirror tactics that give little ... Even with the somewhat odd bits about communicating with ET's this book is far better than Ray Davies' pseudo-Orwellian "X-RAY" if you want to really get into the Kinks' experience. Dave Davies' account is ten times more readable, actually contains family pictures that Ray did not include in his unauthorized autobiography, and is a slightly goofy, far-out, and totally friendly read. Dave's account is fun and transparent in all of the opposite ways that Ray's was buried, then masked and cloaked, then disguised as fiction. I could barely finish "X-Ray" because it was so totally pompous and contrived. Ray is the better songwriter of the two, I think, but his book is unreadable. Too many cheap smoke-and-mirror tactics that give little while they retract from the book. I know that Ray probably put them there to make the thinking reader laugh at their obviousness, but... really, Ray. No wonder you end up dying alone in an industrial wasteland at the end of your book. Dave Davies' totally open, zany personal style comes through in the book. His telling of some of the more absurdist situations is very... very , very funny. It is obvious, of course, that the stories have probably improved with much telling over the years, but that is a known danger with rock biographies. It is not a tale told in flowers, though, and taxing and troubling times, but the overall experience of the book almost leads me to believe that he just might be someone that the ET's would choose to talk to. I know I would. It's no wonder that everyone wanted to sleep with him... and it sounds like it really was EVERYONE from the way the book rolls it out. They title "Kink" is apt and funny in that Totally English Monte Python sort of way. (And, yes... there are men behaving badly while dressed in skirts...!) The biography is one of the more satisfying biographies that I have read because it presents a flawed person who has made a good deal out of the flaws and has turned them into virtues in the process. It does not read as a cautionary tale, a kiss-and-tell-all, or a simple biography that happened to be written by the person it all happened to. If you want to read a 1984-style paranoid biopic of the Kinks filled with the soul-saving abilities of the Ray, then buy Ray's book. If you want a fun read that balances atrocious behavior with absurdly beautiful moments and alien mind games, buy Dave's.
