I've had this thing lately where the curiousity is definately there but i find that when i learn all the behind-the-scenes stories it takes something away. The mystery is gone. Don't get me wrong, there's so much that i've discovered over the past 30 years of following this band and what else is there about Rumours that I need to know - but, apparently there's still stuff I don't know and not sure if i want to know any more.
i don't know, maybe someone can enlighten me...
and, not knocking Ken at all for writing the book...

I can understand where you are coming from. It does take away from the "magic" a little. I get into all the technical stuff but a friend of mine hates anything behind the scenes, how it's made, stories behind songs, etc. She says music is personal to her and her experience and knowing anything about how it really happened ruins it for her...
