Makes me happy that you're enjoying it! I was recently interviewed on Chipped Hip about the book:

Lots of Hipbasers have yet to order the book! Sean Bonner, negphil, bauer, I'm looking at you guys!

Got mine great start got me flashbacking too.

I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

Loved it. It sparked so many of my own memories while reading it, and I started to recall that adrenalin rush of seeing the Hip for the first time in 1992 at the Max Bell Centre in Calgary when I was 17. Went to school the next day with scrapes and bruises all over from being crushed up against the barrier. "Battle scars" as I liked to call them back then. I honestly hadn't thought about that moment in years until I started reading your book, and then it all came flooding back in glorious waves. So thank you for the trip down memory lane.

That being said, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to disagree with your assessment of the criminally underrated In Violet Light.

Ha, yeah, hadn't ever thought of it like that.

Glad you liked the book. Hipbasers, aren't you curious what he's alluding to with The Luxury? Order a copy now to find out!

Question Josh;, on page 133, 2nd paragraph, am I reading right that your saying Daniel Lanois produced Day for Night? or after all these years I hadn't known about his involvement with that record....
