More on dope, rock n roll and the south of France

It was $5 on Amazon, so what the hell? You can't read about technical trading analysis and the market every day, can you? Anyways, this is a rather crappy book written in a cloying style by an author who never interviews the Stones directly. Hangers ons, engineers and a heavy reliance on second hand sources provide the majority of material for what clearly was one of the most rock n roll moments in world history- a summer of 71 tax exile in Nellcote, France.

Perhaps most disappointing of all is Richard Greenfield's disparaging comments of drug dealer Tony Sanchez's own account of living with the Stones, Up and Down with the Rolling Stones, and subsequent constant quoting and reliance on that book.

Strangely I find myself wanting to listen to Mick Taylor's post Stones work. Also there is a book of photos which were published in limited edition about that is supposedly great, as well. Slip this book, though.

I recall no such offer. Last I heard you were iced up and were dreaming of a road trip next week. Which by the way I can't take you up on now as I have another interview next Thursday.

I sent you an email saying I couldn't do Friday but what about Thursday or Saturday- maybe it didn't get through.

Congrats on interview- a job you're interested in?

I didnt get it, I think. The interview I have next week is exciting. The interview I had this week was scary. Real animals. I'm turing into a pussy in my old age.
