I dunno if I'd call it dirt that were after, but I sure felt that the =
book lacked a bit of depth in terms of Rob's emotional attachment. Rob =
seemed quite emotionally blazay about it all. Sure he gives Jim and =
Martin a bit of praise but I thought he could have expressed his =
emotional appreciation and feelings more. He could have said what it =
felt like to be a member of such a seamless and united band that rose to =
the pinnacle of rock'n roll success, achieving so much and being (were) =
admired by so many from diverse parts of the globe. There was never any =
acknowledgement as to how lucky he felt to have such a great career =
spanning 25 odd years with such a great bunch of guys who had not only =
the power, but the passion as well.

Mark.

  I basically share Virgil's disappointment with Willie's. Glad I bought =
it, generally enjoyed it, but felt it lacked depth -- shortcomings of a =
travel book, as Virgil said. Harsh? Nah. I don't think anyone on this =
list has really trashed the book, but Virgil and I aren't the first two =
to express mild disappointment with it...
