I rarely look at the hip fan FB page -- the discussion on this book is hilarious with regards to unauthorized, the band privacy, etc.
I found it very respectful of the band -- I maybe learned one thing about each member's personal lives that I did not know, and usually it was a pretty mundane fact. Without "unauthorized" journalism, basically there would be no stories properly told, plus Barclay primarily uses already published sources for the book.
Then weirdly, you can scroll though the FB page and see people still posting shots of the Macleans magazine (one of the main pieces written by Barclay, likely biggest selling issue of the magazine), posting shots of unauthorized artwork purchases (the scam charity gold album), or advertising cover band appearances. I wanted to point out the lack of disparity, but didn't want to get lambasted by middle aged women.
That said, there's a guy posting links to a YouTube channel who has some pretty great boots, sounds like audience recordings he's done some work on.
