& apos; A book written by a musician that doesn& apos; t relay autobiographical details in some form of (even loose) chronology is unusual; they typically have their own story to tell and that& apos; s it, good or bad. Writing a book that goes some way to explaining the process behind their songwriting is something else altogether. Jeff Tweedy, in How to Write One Song, achieves this. & apos;
