I would have thought that he'd have something to say about that from a personal point of view. Then again, with how far gone he says he was, maybe he's more comfortable in his sober perspective of Roger, than in his relationship (or lack thereof) when Roger first joined.<br /><br />RE: Kiss ass? Maybe? Or maybe he's truly grateful to his friends. As he wrote in the book, the Cure WERE his family. I'd think, if I were writing a book about my best friends/brothers, no matter how bad things had been, I'd bring up what I truly loved about them, and how much I appreciated them. But that's my two cents.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14823908182186889081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-52834036152303985682016-10-19T16:08:10.047-05:002016-10-19T16:08:10.047-05:00I'm almost finishing it, and it's really g...I'm almost finishing it, and it's really good and a very easy reading, not like other bios where the authors are always blaming someone else for their own faults (hello Peter Criss!) or like others where the authors compare themselves to gods (being slightly better than them sometimes in most of their own books). There is plenty of details about the band's "life" as well, more than what I was actually expecting, and also they are not boring technicals details that would interest more to musicians and audio engineers than fans. There aren't fingers pointed at anyone when something wrong happens, even at Lol himself. It's a very honest book in a category of books that is full of books meant just to "shock" (some are quite disappointing at that) and just sell.Mr. Mandelbrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109784033049928423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-24241386057612894942016-10-19T10:30:48.648-05:002016-10-19T10:30:48.648-05:00I got a sense of that too.

However, I felt embarrassed for Robert and a little for Simon (I'm not a big Simon fan, so yeah, only a little). It just seemed like Lol was being a kiss ass. I felt like he was just screaming "please, please, please let me back in the band!" <br />That was my take, which I am sure is not a favored one.
