'Man, is it a wild ride. TOMMYLAND is a personal, intimate journey. The chapter on his four-month jail term for spousal abuse is handled with a great deal more weight and seriousness than you might expect Time Out
I am Tommy Lee, born Thomas Lee Bass in Athens, Greece, on October 3, 1962, and raised in a suburb of California by an American father and a Greek mother. At seventeen, I joined Mötley Crüe and we became one of the baddest-ass rock bands in history. We sold over 40 million albums, we wreaked havoc, we scared parents, and we titillated too many fathers' daughters. I've been married three times: once for just a few days to a Penthouse Pet, for seven years to Heather Locklear, and then for five years to Pamela Anderson, with whom I have two beautiful sons. I've gotten in a lot of fights and i've been to jail a few times.
I'd like to begin now, so please take your seats. I advise you to keep your arms and legs inside the car at all times. Those with weak stomachs, strict morals, or chronic indigestion should put the book down now. For the rest of you, there's one truth that's real across the board: what you send out is what you get back. There's another thing l've learned over the years, in court, in fights, and in arguments with people I love: there isn't one truth, there are many.
This book is my truth.
