I’ve seen in interviews with Christine when she has talked about her relationship with Dennis Wilson, she said he was really handsome and he was a bad boy. Handsome bad boys can be hard to resist. She has also mentioned that they were drinking a lot and doing a lot of cocaine, but Dennis had gotten out of control and Christine could not even keep up with him. There was also a documentary about Dennis and they talked about his relationship with Christine and they said Christine had easy access to all the cocaine Dennis could ever want so he latched on to her. I’ve also read that all of Christine’s Tusk and Mirage songs are about Dennis Wilson.

I read the book and then gifted it to someone lol! So I can’t go back to reference it. I would say it’s worth buying, though.
There were interesting tidbits about FM but nothing truly noteworthy. The author did seem surprised that Lindsey was surprised he was fired from the band- his POV it was obvious from the Musicares event that tensions were at a peak with the one-two punch of Lindsey being angry about Rhiannon being used to introduce them and then the smirking during Stevie’s speech. I would have liked to have learned more about the Christine/Bob Welch fight- just goes to show that everyone has their not so nice side, and I mean everyone.
That’s interesting about most of Christine’s songs being about Dennis Wilson during that era. Dennis was a beautiful man when he was young, but he looked like he was 55 when he was 30!
The chapters on The Beach Boys, the Eagles, the Supremes, and Simon and Garfunkel were the best, for me. Especially the Supremes. Diana Ross is quite an entertainer but not so nice a lady (at least back when she was in the Supremes).
