In fact it's quite the opposite....the fact that Tommy had 5 children by 3 different women....living with one woman (his "soul mate") and their child while still married to another woman who was raising his children (one by another relationship)...didn't impress me much.
Originally, Tommy was a R&B musician who traveled from Calgary to Vancouver to California and back....he chose to ignore his Chinese heritage to live as a Black" man.
His various bands never really made it...but he did have a contract with Motown. At one point Motown fired him for being late to a rehearsal...he was at the U.S. Treasury Dept. getting his Green Card. His bands opened for the likes of the Stones.... Tommy co-owned various R&B, Blues, & strip clubs in Canada, but eventually they closed.
He had performed some light comedy prior to meeting Richard (Cheech) Marin, but once the two of them met up with Lou Adler...the rest fell into place.
The book is by no means intellectual or comedic, but it is a plainly written, easy to read basic biography. No emotional abusive family saga that seems so prevalent with most stars who have ghost-written biographies these days.
