I love reading books like this, the type that after you've gone through it once, you want to go back and dip into again and again. It's a book that you want to buy multiple copies of to give to your pals so you can share the journey with them. Messrs. Lee and Bozza leave you with the feeling that you have gotten to know their subject so well that you could just pick up the phone and give him a call. "Hey Tommy! We're having a 'que. Grab the kids and c'mon over."
Oh! One other thing you learn about Tommy Lee in his book - he's a man on the go! Catch him live with Mötley Crüe, on tour with Aerosmith through mid-December (note that dates marked with * are DJ gigs with DJ Aero):

Well after waiting and checking back several times we were all so impressed with the first episode of Skeletons in the Closet.
After reading this it makes one want to go and buy the book if for nothing else to see that picture that should be in every GYN's office.
Thanks so very much for giving it a fair read. Very often whether it is a book or music or people we too often judge by the cover. Usually we are very disappointed later to find that we missed an incredible learning opportunity or at the very least an exciting adventure.

Rose and Friends--your kind words are very heartening and much appreciated. As for giving it a fair read, it was an easy book to settle into and I owe both Mr. Lee and Mr. Bozza a tip 'o the hat for that accomplishment.
Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment!
