Not the worst book I've ever read.
The blurb every author would treasure! :lol:

It's entertaining but a lot of it is a work of fantasy. How can anyone remember they were wearing a pair of crisp, beige chinos on a particular night 20 years before?

He knows because he saw that Algerian guy with a white girl at a pub. The entire scene burned in his memory forevermore.

Apropos, the bullets in Vince's Jungian bullet belt pointed down south. Coincidence? I think not.

If the word Jungian is used, there are *no* coincidences.

I just started to wonder which Jungian archetype Vince White represents.

Is drunk racist an archetype?

I always thought this was an interesting combo of the 84 and CTC versions. This is probably the closest to how the CTC version would have been with the band being in charge of the arrangement.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Taking Joe's guitar away was a really ridiculous decision.

I thought he usually looked pretty cool on stage, especially when he carried the mic over his shoulder like a cut-off bazooka! But he does seem a little awkward there, like he doesnt know whether to dance or just strut around the stage. Like that version though, particularly the heavy bass.
