It would have been more dysfunctional and completely ridiculous to write a book about the making of that album without addressing the elephant in the room.

That's how it always is with any tell all that involves a kind of 'nobody' author involved with a lot of 'somebodies' (to the general public), it rarely ends up being mainly your story.

That "nobody" co-produced a Grammy-winning album, one of the biggest albums ever. He and Richard were so intimately involved in the production of their albums that Mick said they were like the sixth and seventh members of the band. And he probably has one of the more interesting points of view, since, unlike the members of band, he can provide a neutral opinion of what was going on at the time, while still being a credible source on the band's inner workings.

It couldn't have been too bad, since it brought back Christine's passion for making music.

CAH's book is a fantastic example of this.

CAH wasn't involved in the band's creative process, Ken was.
