Jan 20, Jessica rated it it was ok. There are some actual obvious factual errors in the text that made me Cat Power: A Good Woman everything else in this book. I also got this weird feeling that the author wanted to really "knock her down a peg" and expose Chan Marshall instead of treating her with respect as an artist. Elizabeth Goodman seemed to both resent and revere her at the same time, which is a scary combination. It's hard to explain but it seemed like Goodman was really just trying to deal with her own odd feelings toward Marshall. That There are some actual obvious factual errors in the text that made me question everything else in this book. That's how I felt reading it, anyway. I ultimately just feel bad for reading the book considering it was unauthorized and seemed sort of exploitative. Even if you don't have an "ethical" problem reading it, I would avoid the book based on how many facts were just not right. I didn't write them Cat Power: A Good Woman down or even investigate very deeply, but some errors Cat Power: A Good Woman out at me as I was reading. One error I noticed was Goodman claiming that the cover of the first Cat Power album is a picture of Marshall as a child, which is not true. It's a famous photo by Emmet Gowin taken inthree years before Marshall was even born. There isn't even an excuse for that mistake because 1st there's no reason to think it's Chan Marshall, considering at that point she wasn't the only person in the band and that the photo is Cat Power: A Good Woman credited as being her and 2nd the photographer is credited right on the back of the record. It took me 2 seconds of googling to figure out when the picture was taken. It's ultimately not that important of a detail, but it does make me wonder what other weird assumptions Goodman made while writing the book due Cat Power: A Good Woman the limited information she had. In the last 2 Cat Power: A Good Woman of the book, Goodman writes: "Like Covers, Jukebox features mostly Cat Power: A Good Woman songs except for one of Chan's old tunes "American Flag," originally off Moon Pix revamped to reflect changes in the composer. It seems Cat Power: A Good Woman, but the least Goodman could do was get the facts right about Chan's music, especially when all it would take is a look at the back of the cd case. It also really undermined my faith in the accuracy of anything Goodman was saying. Most of the good information in there are things you can access in interviews available on the internet.

Cat Power: A Good Woman Goodman's intro, with the whole "Chan does not want you to read this book" headline, made me especially uncomfortable. Cat Power: A Good Woman justification for this book, and despite Chan's protests or something, was that Chan did not warn her family members about th It feels "out of character" for me to pick up this book maybe I feel weird, reading about people who are still alive who didn't approve of the book? I am only part way done with this book, though.
