Ben
Folds
Five
. But
Folds
will be the first to tell you he's an unconventional icon, more normcore than hardcore. Now, in his first book,
Folds
looks back at his life so far in a charming and wise chronicle of his artistic coming of age, infused with the wry observations of a natural storyteller. In the title chapter, "A Dream About Lightning Bugs,"
Folds
recalls his earliest childhood dream -- and realizes how much it influenced his understanding of what it means to be an artist. In "Measure Twice, Cut Once" he learns to resist the urge to skip steps during the creative process. In "Hall Pass" he recounts his 1970s North Carolina working-class childhood, and in "Cheap Lessons" he returns to the painful life lessons he learned the hard way -- but that luckily didn't kill him. In his inimitable voice, both relatable and thought-provoking,
Folds
digs deep into the life experiences that shaped him, imparting hard-earned wisdom about both art and life. Collectively, these stories embody the message
Folds
has been singing about for years: Smile like you've got nothing to prove, because it hurts to grow up, and life flies by in seconds."--From publisher.
