This is an auction for DOES THE NOISE IN MY HEAD BOTHER YOU?: A ROCK 'N' ROLL MEMOIR, by Steven Tyler.

Amazon.com reviews:

"For anyone who wonders if Steven Tyler is for real-this book will amply prove that point. His jive-talking, flavorful, sometimes off-colour word usage, sometimes semi-nonsense style of writing keeps the interest up throughout this book. At times you get the feeling that Tyler is telling you his tales one on one, which is very effective, and sometimes visceral, but always interesting. The combination of small details throughout gives added depth to his story. It's an honest look at a man, his music, his life in and outside of music, and how they all intertwine. And for all the jive bravado, you get the feeling, that underneath is someone who wants to let people know that, in many respects, he's just like us-an example-the book is dedicated to his mother. If you've ever wondered if the persona he throws out is all there is, this book will help you see past all that. You may be surprised."

"In this very cathartic memoir we get the experience of jumping head first into the mind and matters of Steven Tyler. While this is a Rock and Roll Memoir, it is also a personal journey about a life from the town of Sunapee, NH to Laurel Canyon. The memoir at times feels like a drug-addled stream of consciousness where we get to travel through the noisy mind of Tyler. The travel is interesting, enlightening and sometimes shocking. I guess it isn't shocking if you consider that he was living the life of a rock and roller and living life HARD."
