The second book is not worth reading. I have the hard cover and even tried to sell it on Ebay. No takers. Unlike the first book, it contains no gossip or scandal. I think its written as an apology to his first wife and clearing his conscience about Bob Welch. He praises everyone. He never even mentions things Stevie has mentioned i.e. touring with Stevie and the klonopin years, etc.
It was a struggle to even finish it was so boring and glossed over. The way he praises Bob Welch in the second book disturbed be because how Mick treated him in 1997. Besides being snubbed at the RRHOF, Bob was completely edited out of the band's Behind The Music segment released the same year. He is not mentioned in the band's history but actually cut off the album back cover of Heroes are Hard to Find. Its almost as bad as when the Van Halen brothers edited Michael Anthony off the Van Halen website.
I loved the first book and the funny stories about his stalker. When Stevie dropped acid in Hawaii and could not find her way to the airport to pick him up. How the band found the roses Don Henley gave to Stevie and the band wrote on the card "Tonight is the night". Loved it when he wrote how Lindsey confronted him seeing Stevie, etc.
