I just got done reading this, Caetano Veloso's autobio/history of troplicalia/overview of Brazillian culture and politics, and was wondering if anyone else has read it. Personally, I love his records dearly, but the book doesn't make me much like him personally. He comes off as something of a coffeehouse intellectual chowderhead in spots, a dilletante in others, and -- at his best -- somebody who really loves the music of his country. skip h NP: the raymond scott orchestrette, PUSHBUTTON PARFAIT
