Dude. Bro.

The Dirt
by Motley Crue

This was hyped to me as the greatest rock bio of all time, the most decadent piece of music-lit since Led Zeppelin’s Hammer of the Gods. This is all true. For the Behind the Music set, this has a truly staggering level of drug use and sexcapades. Imagine the four dumbest guys you know getting shitloads of money and carte blanche to be gigantic assholes with really bad hair and you get a good sense of the story. The book gets repetitive fast, and the only laughs I got towards the end were from Tommy Lee’s excessive use of the words “DUDE” and “BRO.”

I found myself subconsciously using BRO in every e-mail I wrote one week.
