    Yeah SL - I would agree with you about that photo being from 1974.

    Anyway, I finally got around to finishing the book. Even though it's not that long, it took me a couple of weeks to read it because I had to just read it bits at a time. Unfortunately, as we suspected, there really isn't anything in there that we didn't already know. However, the presentation is a bit different, so I still think it is an enjoyable and interesting read. For the most part, Vaughan seemed to get the facts correct, although it's not perfect. Honestly, it was a lot better than I expected based on what Soda described to me when she first reviewed it. I was mildly annoyed that he gives Glenn absolutely no credit at all for writing Hotel California. On the other hand, he credits a quote that Don made in the 60 minutes interview to Glenn. I will say the book definitely focuses on Glenn and Don. I thought Randy, in particular, got very little ink.
