I'm pretty baffled as to why Rocky keeps coming here, like what is he getting out of all this?
And I also don't get why keeps rambling on about "what happened to Brian", I'm pretty sure we all know the answer
Suspect he's looking to make a fortune from the book and knows we're its target readership. Aren't we?

A book? Who in the name of 'pete' can't write a book? The question IS...Will A N Y B O D Y want to read the dang thing? Does it have to include pictures? Will you go with extra large typeset in order to make it at least 100 pages long? Will it require HEAVY editting and untold assistance in order to make it actually 'work'? Will it be of any value to the general scheme of things as the years and decades pass us by? Will it be be "a best seller...2nd only to the Bible"? Or will it give you away for the un-schooled free-loader you just might be?
AND...will you then take the concept to a site filled with potential buyers and insult them thus derailing the possibility of actually moving anywhere near as many units as you might have if you had just kept your loathesome and sorry ass completely out of sight and under the radar?
Once upon a time there was a guy named Rocky. His real name was actually Dick. His 'story' was already known to the masses but he still tried to pass off his sordid past as being some kind of useful glimpse into the great unknown. He dragged along a caste of unsavory characters in order to attempt to give his little tale an 'angle'.
In going this route, and while insulting the intelligence of virtually every potential reader he addressed he only further proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the glimpse of the great unknown he was prepared to 'offer' was ever-so-likely to remain a part of the afore mentioned great unknown. Why? Because almost everyone who might possibly be interested already knew the true story along with Dick [and his cronies] part{s} in it.
So Dick undermined his project...as he had...his little itsy, bitsy, teenie, weenie, insignificant corner of the otherwise EXTREMELY interesting sojourn and quickly faded into the oblivion he generally inhabits/calls home.
The End.
See Rocklette? It can be done. Just...not by you.

See at first that was quite obviously his motive, but by this point it seems like he's doing way more harm than good to his book sales You're forgetting the level of understanding evidenced in his posts, like his claim that this is "a web site about MY BOOK!" and his belief that the number of times this thread has been read means anything other than that this board has somewhere between fifty and two hundred active users who read every post. Someone who thinks like that will indeed no doubt think he's helping his book's chances. As for family resumes, my family are relentless underachievers, and so I have nothing much to say there. As far as I know none of them ever even punched a rock star, though my granddad was a year above Paul McCartney (and two years above George Harrison) at the Liverpool Institute, and was a bit of a thug, so he might have done.

There's an old adage "in the business" They can say what ever they want about you... as long as they spell your name right"! I also told you, previously, that this was a DOWN and DIRTY "TELL ALL" MEMOIR... That's what the people want to read! I didn't make the rules (or in the case of a book... the guide lines)...I JUST PLAY BY THEM! There's a NEW STANDARD in everything these days...Welcome to the TWENTY FIRST CENTURY! Have you heard of DONALD TRUMP?. Maybe I should say... President TRUMP? In the immortal words of Don Henley. Well the bubble headed bleach blond Comes on at five She can tell you bout the plane crash With a gleam in her eye Can we film the operation Is the head dead yet You know the boys in the news room Got a running bet Get the widow on the set We need dirty laundry We can do the innuendo We can dance and sing When it's all said and done You haven't told you a thing We all know that crap is king Give us dirty laundry

Rushston's posts are starting to remind me of Donald Trump: you just can't parody either one of them. They come already parodied .

Rocky - You can't even write a coherent sentence, so any book you published would most likely be a complete disaster. Have a nice day.
