I'm glad that it's a good read, just as I'm glad that neither you nor Bob were dragged into court & as screwed out of making a living as were Norma & Luci.
To the average fan, it's a book about a guy whose music that they love which conjures up memories of some wonderful days gone by. To the two ladies of whom I speak, those good times" turned into a bit of a nightmare & it didn't have to be that way. I wouldn't care if he's "nice" & I wouldn't care if he passed gas that turned into a beautiful aria. I never met the man & on the strength of how these ladies were treated, I have absolutely no desire to. I DON'T like what he did to these ladies & if records go gold & platinum, then unless Norma & Luci enjoy some of the proceeds, cellophane or cardboard status is sufficient for me. When your pockets are full, you simply don't try to stop people whom helped you gain success from being able to make a living.
If that's deemed "nice", then the Webster's needs to re-evaluate the meaning of the word.
I realize that for the average fan, enjoying the book is of paramount importance, more so than the ability of former group members to put food on their tables while singing songs that they helped turn into million sellers. But then again as I followed the allegations made in the court case, coupled with the fact that I know these ladies & most whom will read this book don't, I imagine that I would take it far more personally than most others will & I guess that's understandable.
Isn't it always that way
