The Tenacity of the Cockroach: Conversations With Entertainment's Most Enduring Outsiders was a Christmas present that took me just about 6 months to get to.
It's quite the eclectic mix of interviews - I at least recognized the names of most of the subjects. Some of the interviews (Henry Rollins & Mr.T) gave me new insights; while other interviews (Gene Simmons & Russ Meyer) just reinforced the attitude I had towards the person. I would have liked to have seen more women interviewed, and maybe more authors, but I've got a couple of new-to-me artists I want to follow up on now.
If you're interested in reading about a fairly wide range of artists besides those seen on MTV, the cover of People & gossip columns, pick this book up.
