For those of us who believe the first Throwing Muses album is one of the Top Five Most Important First Albums of All Time (and probably also believe that "The Fat Skier" is one of the Top Five Most Important First EPs of All Time), Kristin Hersh's new memoir is A+ essential reading. The best part is it's only about a year-when she was 18, becoming an indie rock star and getting pregnant-so there can be like 25 other memoirs!
