You could make a better, more informative book by just using the MR search engine.

I read it. A fun read, but not much new.

Yeah, but think about some of the photos you'd be exposed to! :shock: :shock: :shock: :lol:
Why treat life as a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in an attractive & well-preserved body? Get there by skidding in sideways, a glass of wine in one hand, chocolate in the other, body totally worn out, screaming WOOHOO! What a ride!

There is nothing in it that you haven't already read ten times on here.

And there are a few errors in it, too.

Save your money.

Deano and I were spot on with our pre-release assessment of this book. Boring, unprofessional and nothing new.

Yes you were.

I sold my copy as soon as I'd read it.

I wish Herbie would write a book.

I'd love to read that.

He'd certainly tell good stories, but not sure I could handle 300 pages of his arrogant, obnoxious, sneering ranting.

On the subject of the book, I got it last week and echo what others have said ... not really much new, just condensed in one volume. It was like the Chicago: Feeling Stronger Everyday biography from a few years ago that had no new interviews with any band members.
