My Take
What I admire about Duff McKagan is that he is so much more than the low end of Guns N' Roses. Anchoring that chaotic band for twelve years takes a steadiness most people overlook, and rejoining in 2016 after their Hall of Fame induction felt like a homecoming earned rather than handed out. But it is his second act that interests me most: the memoirs, the sports journalism, the Seattle University education. He survived a wild youth and rebuilt himself through words. That combination of grit and literacy makes him one of the more quietly thoughtful figures rock has produced.
