It makes me wonder what the "writing" process was. I doubt Mick was sitting at a desk with quill in hand. Did he just tell his story verbally while someone else paraphrased what he said, converting it to a narrative? Would be interesting to have been there while it was being constructed. That thing where Stevie said something along the lines that if she'd read Mick's book, all she would be doing is crossing out things with a red pen saying, 'Mispelled, never happened, big lie' was one of the funniest things that ever came out of her mouth.
