Mother American Night: My Life in Crazy Times by Robert Greenfield, John Perry Barlow

3.0

Despite being a deadhead I've never really held a high opinion of JPB. There were a lot of interesting stories in here definitely, but if anything it made me think even lower of this man. His ego seems to cloud any sort of self reflection and this comes off as him bragging and name dropping his way through the greatest hits without ever actually opening himself up to the reader. He does point out his lows with his highs but instead of showing a pattern of growth he falls into the trappings of most counterculture icons that refuse to learn and instead are just selfish, self centered people at the end of the day.
