The Story Of Alanis Morissette,
By A Customer
This review is from: Story of Alanis Morissette (Paperback)
This is a book of Alanis mostly for pictures. They are good quality, huge, and many are full color. However the writing is not that thorough. Really all you need to know is read the back of the book ten times, and you will have read the whole book. The writing is actually really sucky, and she covers her days on Nickelodeon in one paragraph. Here is that paragraph: Alanis landed herself a starring role on the Nickelodeon cable tv shoe "You Can't Do That On Television" at the ripe old age of ten. As she would years later tell "Rollingstone" magazine, "It was a good, stupid, sarcastic kind of show. Very obnoxious and very tongue in cheek." That is all she wrote. STUPID and BORING! Especially that part about being the "ripe old age of ten." It's an excellent picture bio though.

creation of a musical universe,

This review is from: Story of Alanis Morrisette Pb (Paperback)
The early pages of the book seemed empty to me because the first two albums created when Alanis was young and distributing her music only in Canada were never released to the wide audience that were thrilled by Jagged Little Pill. Page 23 has a picture of songwriter/producer Glen Ballard at the 1996 Grammy Awards. There is no index or Table of Contents, but a section called Intellectual Intercourse starts on page 20. Alanis explained how working together with Glen Ballard blew their minds:It was the most spiritual experience either of us ever had with music. The whole thing was very accelerated and stream of consciousness. (p. 20, quoting a Rolling Stone Nov. 2, 1995 issue). The movie The Dance of Genghis Cohen contains a line: I died out there, for the experience of a comedian who gets no response from an audience. Much of American culture operates at a level that is appropriate for a dying people. As Dorothy Parker said: I'm so indecent, I should be dead. All of my friends are dead. What is most familiar to us as wannabe performers is: Pent-up reactions to what life had so far offered her before had only surfaced in the form of anxiety attacks. (p. 23).
