I just finished reading the book after reading the three Police autobiographies. Excellent read! The autobiographies were also very good but, like all autobiographies, there were gaps in the narrative and the stories were somewhat sanitized. Which is not to say that the Stafford & Stafford book was full of lurid sensationalism - it wasn’t - but it did not avoid facts that the three musketeers protagonists found too uncomfortable or impolitic to discuss in their respective autobiographies. I also found many of Stafford & Stafford’s asides and short digressions in their book hilarious. I read many band biographies and few are as well written and entertaining as this one.
