Excerpts from Page 62
The DirtOK, I'm 83 pages in and I have to share some of the finer moments from Motley Crue's "The Dirt..." Without a doubt, the highlight has been page 62 which was written by Vince Neil (in iambic pentameter, I think).

On juggling groupies and girlfriends in the early days:
"We'd scrounge up enough money to buy an egg burrito from Noggles. Then we'd bite the end off and stick our ***** into the warm meat to cover up the smell of ***** so that our girlfriends didn't know we were ****ing anything stupid or drunk enough to get into Tommy's van."

Describing a fight that he started with a fan during one of their early shows: "I leapt off the stage midphrase and put him in a headlock and started pummeling him. I looked back, and Nikki has his white Thunderbird bass over his head. He swung it forward like a circus strength-game mallet and cracked it over some guy's shoulder blade. If there was a bell on the guy's head, it would have gone through the roof."

And these are the stories from before they ever released a record. And they were on a single page. It can only get better in the remaining 300+ pages.
