You're right in that aspect, Larry - it made me wish that he had given the task to a good ghost writer to flesh it out some more, but I guess you finally have to fill in the spaces yourself in some parts - sort of that typical English reserve thing going on I guess.

He had a lot of ground to cover in terms of his career, without a doubt. It connected a lot of dots for me anyway in terms of his musical influences -

There was a real good biography that came out about......I want to say 15 years ago that was alot better....of course it would be minus the past 15 years!! However it had alot more to do with his music and such....can't remember who wrote it and it may have been autobiographical with the ghost writer??
