I enjoyed the article. I always wondered what happened to that book series.

Seemed like a cool guy.

I don't recall being annoyed by the book, but then I would have fallen into the category of "new teen fan" upon its release.

Enjoyable article. Well done, Homesick.

Danny Alexander made a good point about the band's response to their fame and their ability to avoid self-destructing. So many artists have been crushed by that kind of pressure. I admire Soul Asylum's ability to move on and just keep making the music they want to make.

(P.S. I like the party hat and the balloons you gave Dave in the photo. 8) )
