This is the second or third excerpt I've seen now. Each one seems to be everything we've always wanted - thorough, well written, and from a variety of very key perspectives. Can't wait.

I've read it, it's terrific. Well-written, exhaustively researched, many POVs included from the people closest to the band and most importantly, from Paul and Tommy.

Thanks for posting. I read the excerpt and it was great.
I actually watched the original broadcast and taped it on VHS back in '86; that tape is one of the few I have kept over the years.
The RS excerpt is the most detailed account I have ever read about their appearance. The whole "fiasco" is ironic because The 'Mat's performance is perhaps one of the more memorable ones out of SNL's entire history, even though they were never the most popular band. Legendary.
I look forward to the book.

Classic Paul humor with the tooth. He cracks me up.
