Mick's book from 2015
 
I know I'm late to this, but I was flicking through the book and found a number of really silly errors. Considering I found this easily and at random, I assume the book is riddled with mistakes.

Page 170 - States that World Turning is a cover version of a Peter Green song.

Page 201 - It says that Oh Daddy was recorded in the auditorium in Berkeley, when we know it was Songbird.

I makes me wonder if Mick had anything to do with the book at all.

Don't publishers use fact checkers any more?!

They just forget. Christine recently said she quit after the Tango Tour.

Well, World Turning is not quite a cover of Peter's World keep on turning but it is clearly derived from it. I love the fact that it's clearly a nod and link to the original band when the Mac finally morphed into the Nicks/Buckingham era.

I want to know what the beef between Bekka and Dave was, especially since she's in his band now.

I finally bought this. I found 3 copies in a used bookstore on Wed.

I glanced quickly through it, and it doesn't look like there's much that wasn't in his first one.

That man would sell Biddy's bloomers for a buck!

I posted a thread about this last year. His second book was such a disappointment to me. No juicy details. Most of it is about his private life and seems like a tribute to his ex wife .....almost an apology.
He glosses over the Rick and Billy era and never mentions Stevie's klonopin era, the big fights, Time, etc.
His first book was so good with inside intimate details. I have the hard cover and tried to sell it on Ebay for $15 but no buyers.

I love the first book, and have read it many times.

They had 3 copies of this one(all hard cover). Two were $12, and one was $7.50(all in excellent condition), so of course I got the $7.50 one!

Yea.I did not get his second book yet but I'll endup finding it in the discount bin like I did with his first book years ago in the Stop and Shop book discount bin .

I definitely felt duped after I pre-ordered the 2nd book and it arrived. The first one was definitely a better read!
*Ricoh*

She DID quit AFTER the Tango Tour. She just chose to forget the 10 years between then and the Dance Reunion! :laugh: :wavey:
