    I want to check it out, but there is a serious lack of cash at the moment :( . I wonder if it was actually written by mustaine or a ghost writer. I know most rock books are done by a ghost writer but you never know with Mustaine.

    I read somewhere that he wrote most of it himself although there is a co-writers credit i believe to some New York Times journalist. I suppose most rock stars aren't natural writers(outside of song writing) and need help with structure and the like. How many of them,Mustaine included,remember half of their heyday i'll never know?!:p

    A Dickensonian life? Is that more interesting than a (Bruce) Dickinsonian life? Just as long as the Dickens isn't A Christmas Carol, I suppose ... :pac:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    ―Oscar Wilde predicting Social Media, in The Picture of Dorian Gray
