Nugent's book is an insult to the genre of rock biography. Had he read books like Alice Echols's riveting Scars of Sweet Paradise: The Life and Times of Janis Joplin, for example, he might have realized it's necessary to do significant research to really capture the essence of a person. Here he simply cuts and pastes sections of interviews from a couple of magazines and interviews people who knew Smith tangentially. I eagerly await a real biography on Smith.
