Book Review: A big Disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
No one was a bigger fan of the M.O. than me. I couldn't get enough of this band. In fact I hold my first MO concert as one of if not the pinnacle of my Musical experience, I didn't know who they were when I saw them, I went along with a friend. I felt that I had been hit by a locomotive. That concert was life changing. So I was so anxious to read this book. I got it and yes, there 's some interesting tidbits in it , however , I felt I was reading a groupie's tell-all. I'm sorry but according to author, this band didn't play a wrong note, each performance was transcendent and God given.
I was embarrassed by the writing.
Such a disappointment, it would have been so great to really get to know the members of the band. This book was really just one long love letter to the MO.
