I might have to get a hold of this book, I saw it the other day when I was in Border's. Don't have to tell anyone about the sheer brilliance of Joe's songwriting, and how much myself and the music world misses his contributions.

"It seems to me that origination is perhaps instinct, not intellect." Love ya Joe, God Bless, We Miss You

There's a review (of the British edition of the book) in the current edition of Rock'n'Reel. Written by one of Medusa's own. 8)

Thanks for posting this MacRue. I was not aware of this publication and now have one on order.

Another great read is:
