Richie Fa'aoso

[The Who]

Have you read Pete Townshend’s book, ‘Who I Am’?

No. It gets good reviews so I'll get it out when I finish Keef's biography.

 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Try reading Keith Richards' book 'Life'. It's another world out there!

For a real eye opener to the world out there (being a long time fan of the band, and knowing what goes in their circles (80s, 90s punk), there were still things above and beyond what i had expected) look up NOFX - The Hepatitis Bathtub and other stories. Great read.

Have you read Pete Townshend’s book, ‘Who I Am’?

No, but I read "The Big Short" in Bali over the break and highly recommend it.

Says he started taking drugs at 21, that puts him at the Roosters.....

I started waaaayyy earlier than that.
Clean for 10 years now,

I would try dmt though.

 

[ManlyMatt]

we needed him in the gf

I agree. He was in great form and I think people underestimated the intensity he was bringing us from the bench. Maybe that intensity might have helped us hold on towards the end of the GF. Unfortunately we will never know.

Well however you managed to overcome and beat your problem , full marks and credit to you and you certainly seem in a good place now and hopefully have been for quite some time now

Richie was quite fearless in many of his efforts for Manly that year and if he bought that controlled aggression into the G F against the Roosters , who knows , maybe he could have made some vital difference for Manly to finish on top of the Roosters .

Thanks mate, drugs are great but being post drugs is better.
I will say that alcohol is the worst and stupidest drug of them all.

 

[manlyfan76]

No, that's tobacco.

Oh you don't vape? Tsk, tsk, tsk.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

No, but I read "The Big Short" in Bali over the break and highly recommend it.

Next up for me is ‘Fire and Fury’. I can also recommend Alec Baldwin’s parody, ‘You can’t spell America without me’, about you know who.

 

[Loobs]

I have been ploughing through some Philip K Dick books which have been interesting..
