...and I'm not sure what to think.
First of all, in just the ten minutes or so that I've spent reading it so far, I've found several printing error, typos - at least I hope that 'Southside Johnny and the Asbury Dukes' was just a typo - and some factual errors as well. He's got Daughtry opening for all of the Toronto shows, but Hedley opened for the two in December.
Aside from that...well, he has an interesting take on the music. He says that their most creative and exciting period is 1984-1988 and that Lost Highway their worst album. He calls it boring and uneventful, a dull mid-paced country-pop effort, at best a failed experiment.
He says that, while the others have pretty much stayed the same, Jon has changed his image so many times over the years that it's obvious that he keeps trying to reinvent himself to keep up with the times. That he wants to be taken seriously and dressing up like a rock star is not part of the plan and he wonders why since it works for Steven Tyler and Keith Richards.
In his credits he thanks Bon Jovi fan Julia Braun...anyone know her?
Hmpf! I just read the blurb about the Destination Anywhere film.....and he obviously has never seen it.....or he's missed the whole point of it!
Anyone else seen this book yet?
