I was almost certain there was a DLR book called Crazy From the Heat. It might be kind of old though.

There absolutely was.  It wasn't bad, it wasn't good, it was Dave.

I have that actually. It made me laugh a lot.

I am very much looking forward to Alex's book. It'll be what it is. Alex had a very unique seat...older brother to a guy who literally changed the way millions of people approached guitar. Alex was no slouch himself on the drums, but as the older brother, watching the kid brother as a prodigy, I am sure it will be a very cool perspective on all that history. The title makes me feel like it will be.

If there's dirt thrown on various people, and I expect their will be, unfortunately, it'll suck. I don't expect Alex to lie and not say how he feels, but at the same time, I hope he takes the high road and artfully expresses his opinion.

Either way, the book is a must-buy, and I'm excited to read it.
