omg i'm so down for some patti smith memoirs lol her older book just kids is like my all time fave and now she's dropping more tea on her childhood idk if i'll finish reading them all but bread of angels sounds kinda interesting 🤔
 
omg u guys, i'm literally so excited about these new music memoirs 🤩! it seems like 90s NYC is getting its own book club and i am here for it 😂. patti smith's books are already on my wishlist (just kids and bread of angels) but now with these new releases, i feel like i'll get to experience her story from a different angle 🔄. mark ronson's writing style seems so interesting - i loved his songwriting, can't wait to read about how he got into djing 🎶. bob dylan's memoirs are also super intriguing, i wonder what the 'things have changed' line is all about 🤔. anyway, anyone else getting hyped for these releases? 📚🎵
 
Ugh 😒 music books overload 📚🎶. Can't we just listen to tunes instead? 🎵 But if you're into reading about famous people's lives, these books might be interesting 🤔. Patti Smith and Bob Dylan are cool, I guess 🙃. Their memoirs sound like they'll give us a deeper look at their childhoods and family life 👪. Mark Ronson's book sounds fun too 🎉, especially since he grew up in 1990s NYC 🗽️. Not sure about Robbie Robertson's book though 🤷‍♂️...
 
ugh another bunch of old rich people cashing in on their nostalgic stories 🤦‍♂️ 90s NYC was supposed to be all about revolution and creativity not just a fancy way to sell memoirs to gullible fans 📚 these guys were roommates with each other's parents it's like they're trying to make us forget the struggles of actual artists 🎶
 
Ugh, these music books are so overhyped 🙄. Like, who needs to read about Patti Smith's childhood or Mark Ronson's DJing days? It's not like we haven't heard enough about that already 🎵. And another thing, why do all these books have the same title with slight variations? Can't they just come up with something new and original for once? 🤯 I mean, I'd rather read a book about the history of music production or something equally as fascinating 💻. These memoirs are just so... basic 😴.
 
omg u guys i just read about these music memoirs and idk why but it made me think of my fave artist patti smith she's literally so inspiring 🤩 i wish i had her talent lol anyway reading about her childhood in michigan was super interesting, apparently she grew up in a pretty normal fam but her family moved to nyc when she was a teen and that's when all the magic happened for her music career 💫 i also loved how some of these books focus on the 90s new york city music scene it just sounds like so much fun 🎉 i've been listening to alot of old school hip hop lately and this made me wanna go back in time and experience it for myself lol
 
I just saw that there's these new music books coming out about old legends like Patti Smith and Bob Dylan... it feels like we're right back in the 90s again 😊. Remember how we used to go to those tiny clubs in NYC to see them perform live? Now they're sharing stories from their past and I'm just nostalgic for the good old days 🎸. It's crazy how time flies, but at least it means we get to learn more about these iconic artists 💫.
 
🤔 u guys think it's weird that they're releasing like 4 different books about Patti Smith? 📚 it's like they want us to know every single detail about her life... i'm low-key excited though, i love learning more about music history and the people behind the songs 🎵
 
🎵📚 I'm kinda confused about these music memoirs... there are so many Patti Smith and Bob Dylan books on this list 🤯! Like, which one do we really need? 😅 Do we want to know more about their childhoods and family lives? 🤔 Or should we just stick with the good stuff - their rock 'n' roll careers? 🎸

Here's a Venn diagram of my thoughts:

```
Patti Smith |-----------------> Bob Dylan
| |
v v
Childhood stories | Rock 'n' roll biopic
Family life | Music career retelling
```

I guess what I'm saying is, can we just pick one memoir to read and enjoy? 😊 Or maybe we could do a round-up of all their books and just summarize them in one place 🤓?
 
omg these music books sound like so much fun 🎵 i'm defo intrigued by patti smith's memoirs, especially bread of angels - it's like she's taking us on a journey back to her childhood in michigan 🌾👧 but what's up with all the ron rosenbaum books? he seems like a music historian or something 📚🎶 i mean, bob dylan's memoir is defo a must read for any fan of the legendary artist, but is it just a patti smith love fest? 🤔
 
Ugh, so much duplication 🤯... seriously though, it feels like we're getting too many retreads on memoirs and music history books. Can't they come up with something new? 📚 I mean, don't get me wrong, Patti Smith is a legend, but two books about her life already? And what's with the duplicates of Mark Ronson's book? 🤔 Like, can't we have some variety in our reading lists? 😐 I guess it just goes to show that music memoirs are still a popular genre... *sigh* 🎵
 
I don't get why we're seeing so many duplicate books on these lists 🤔. Like, come on! Can't they just choose one version of the story? Patti Smith's memoirs already sound super interesting, can we not have two versions of **Just Kids** and **Bread of Angels**? I mean, I'm all for exploring different aspects of her life, but duplicates gotta go 🚫. What do you guys think, is it just a case of too much repetition or what's the point of having multiple books on the same topic?
 
I mean, can you believe how many times we're getting "Night People" 🤯? Mark Ronson must be like the DJ equivalent of my aunt at family gatherings - always showing up twice when she's supposed to just once 😂. But seriously, I'm kinda excited to dive into these memoirs. Patti Smith's life is so fascinating, and it's cool that we're getting some insight into her childhood and family life through books like "Bread of Angels". I wonder if Ron Rosenbaum's book about Bob Dylan's years with Patti will finally give me the answers I've been searching for about their relationship 🤔. Anyway, off to read these books and live vicariously through some of my musical heroes 😎
 
🤔 so these books are all about the 90s music scene in NYC? it's wild how influential those people were and still are 🎶 i mean, you got Mark Ronson, Patti Smith, Bob Dylan... they're like legends 🙌 but it's crazy that their memoirs are kinda like duplicates 😂 maybe someone should write a book about the weirdness of all these same-name books haha
 
omg did u see dis?? its like they re published all these music memoirs by diff ppl & 2 of them r basically da same 🤯 i mean i love pattsi smith & bob dylan but come on dont they have enuf stories to tell 📚 maybe im just tired of da nyc grit tho i feel like its gettin old rn 😴
 
Ugh, can you believe all these music memoirs? They're just so... boring! Who needs to read about Patti Smith's family life or Mark Ronson's DJ days in 90s NYC? Been there, done that 🙄. I mean, I'm sure it's interesting for some people, but not for me. I'd rather listen to the music itself than read about someone who made it. And why are all these books so repetitive? It feels like they're just rehashing the same stuff over and over again. Can't we get some new stories or perspectives on the music scene? 😒
 
OMG 🤯 I'm like totally stoked about these music memoirs!!! I mean, can you even imagine growing up with Bob Dylan as your friend?! Patti Smith is literally a legend and I'm obsessed with her life story - **Bread of Angels** is next on my list to read ASAP!!! I also wanna know more about Mark Ronson's DJing days in 90s NYC 🕺🏻, his memoir sounds like so much fun! And Robbie Robertson's book about being roomies with Marty Scorsese? That's like music history right there! 🎶
 
Ugh, I'm getting so frustrated with these lists 🤯. It looks like they forgot to proofread or something! There are 5 books listed with the same title and author combination. Like, how can you have two identical books on the list? That's just not fair 😒.

And another thing, why is Ron Rosenbaum credited for writing about Patti Smith twice? 🤔 Shouldn't he be giving her a break instead of being all repetitive? It's like he didn't even do his research or something 👎.

Anyway, I guess if you're into that sorta thing, it might be interesting to read these books. But for me, I'd rather see some actual editing and proofreading before they hit the shelves 📚.
 
omg i'm so down for reading these music memoirs!! 🤩 especially patti smith's books, i love her spirit & story! 👏 bob dylan's life is so fascinating too, can't wait to dive into that one... 💭 and mark ronson's journey from DJ to music legend is so inspiring! 🎶 overall, these books are gonna be a blast from the past and give us some new perspectives on the music industry & iconic artists 📚💖
