Maggie’s Reviews > The Emperor of Sound: A Memoir – An Unprecedented Inside Look at a Legendary Music Producer's Extraordinary Career > Status Update

He is talking about all of the violence he was involved with and how he tried to get out of it but he still ended up getting shot. Later we can look at how this violence impacted his music.

The first chapter starts off with him talking about all the songs he has written about rain. Then he goes on to talk about how he grew up in virginia where he was surrounded by water. His mother and father were very supportive of his early love for music, and he believes that is what made him so successful. So far I like it, but the way it is written is somewhat choppy.
