When Jimmy Barnes was a teenager he and some mates kicked in the back door of the Apollo Stadium in Adelaide to see Tina Turner.
Jimmy made his way to the front and was transfixed by Tina's power, her energy, her voice and her legs.
He was also mesmerised by the driving power of the band under Ike Turner's direction.
The magic combination Jimmy encountered that night, of soul, force and precision, became what he aimed for with his own music.
There have been many times with Cold Chisel and as a solo performer that he's reached this goal.
There have also been other times when he's been performing when other things got in the way, things like booze, drugs or the demons of his troubled childhood.
But over the last few years, Jimmy has been bringing those demons into the light by writing the stories of his life.
