Sing Backwards and Weep

Lanegan’s raw honesty really stands out, but I wonder what motivated him to be so open about his struggles. Was it a desire to help others or his own need for catharsis?

The detailed stories about songwriting and performances enriched the memoir, but at times I wondered if it overshadowed the more personal moments. What was the balance like for others?

His upbringing and surroundings seem to have played a big role, but I’m curious how much of that was explored in the narrative and how it influenced his path.
