For me the book was a revelation in that it gave an indication as to why
Gene was so self destructive ... the in-breeding, bi-polar tendencies, the
alcoholism in the family etc.
I mean, I'm like most Byrds fans wondering why he left the group (twice) ...
why he couldn't get it together at decisive moments in his life etc. I'll
have to go back and check out the writing style. I was too busy devouring
...
