Though the last 1/4 of the book is nothing but a long tirade against the PMRC (among other things), the preceding text more than makes up for it. Though there's a picture of his family, he gives very little information about his parents and nothing (not even names) for his siblings. However, you will get (in great detail): how he got into music, his love of Varese, how he met his wife, how he almost got in a fight with John Wayne, what he does for a living, slightly disturbing tour stories, his fight to get his symphonic work performed, and how he balances home life with creative life.
