DOES THE NOISE IN MY HEAD BOTHER YOU? A Rock 'n' Roll Memoir

With his salaciously huge mouth, Aerosmith front man, and current “American Idol” judge, Steven Tyler looks like he could swallow the whole world—and judging by this memoir, he has! Nothing is spared in this highly impressionistic autobiography of a musical prodigy and aggressively outgoing personality who seemed destined for success, and whose appetite for sex and drugs was matched only by his ruthless ambition. Despite his transformation from bad boy to matinee idol, Tyler still comes off strikingly down-to-earth, and narrator Jeremy Davidson—who has a penchant for the grandiose with his background in pulp drama—handles it all as if he’s just walked out of a pool hall in the Bronx, Tyler’s hometown.
