Now, about one and a half years after its publication, I have read the autobiography of Rob Halford, singer of Judas Priest. I have to say, it's a great autobiography, I read the more than 500 pages almost in one day, Halford really knows how to write both exciting and funny. He begins with his childhood and youth on the council estate in Walsall, a town near Birmingham, and the description of the sobriety and down-to-earthness of the people living there, most of whose working part is in the steelworks. Halford describes how he discovered theatre for himself and then came to his great passion, music. The first steps with Judas Priest, infinitely small recording budgets, journalists who ask the same stupid questions and even think they are interviewing a singer/songwriter called Judith Priest.
