Snapshots from a rock ‘n roll marriage
The ex-wife of Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney tells her side of the heart-wrenching divorce with a heart-wrenching first person account

This is a FANTASTIC read, it tells the story of success & stardom, and the collateral damage that comes with it. It’s about how people change, even when they swear they never would. 
I hate to say it but the rock & roll life is just NOT compatible with marriage, even relationships can be very, very problematic. I have never understood why guys get married when they’re touring constantly and trying to make it big. It’s just a recipe for disaster.
