Good points, never thought of that. Maybe those lyrics hit people subconsciously, possibly it was hidden messages in Roger lyrics that actually helped make this book a reality. Makes me wish I asked a few more questions to some of the guys I met up with. I think every week I kick myself because I think of something else I should have asked them when I had the chance.
Merle Kilgore said he liked hanging out with Roger because he was a positive kind of guy, he told me Roger would say to him "Fu&& being negative" and he'd keep the jokes coming. It's a little ironic because at the same time Roger suffered with depression.
As you know, Roger would at times walk off stage angry half way through a show. Just a thought, wonder if he ever sang "Walking In The Sunshine" during one of those shows?
Also I wanted to mention, you keep saying the words "in your book" - I really don't consider it "my" book. For the most part, it's the interviewee's book. I consider them the true authors because they really provided the content of it, I just put it all together. I was more of a facilitator and 'project manager', I think anyway.
You are too humble. It's your book. WAY too much effort goes into getting one done right and into print to give all the credit away.
And I haven't even read it yet.
LOL! Well, now that you mention it, probably not. Amphetamines taken over an extended period of time can cause extreme moodiness and swings between high and low. It's a wonder ANY of them ever finished a show when they were taking that stuff.
Gotta run. Just stopped by real quick to bump the thread. (bump = push it to the top of the Latest Posts page so people will see it).
One more thing...
"Your compilation" just doesn't have a nice ring to it. I'll stick with "Your book," thank you.
Besides, you earned it. Ten times over, you earned it.
