.... or a lesson in reading a book via the index for the juicy bits
So Mrs FC buys me the JM autobiography for my birthday (a month late I said, but, she said, paperback only got released today so don't be such an ungrateful twat) and I can't resist a peak to see what he says about the famed collaboration. There's only one Ian McCulloch reference and it says something along the ines of "I met a couple from Liverpool who said that the bunnymen were splitting up and [insert compliments about mac] and he was only in Liverpool so it might work etc etc.... so I called their manager but a week later I heard the bunnymen were advertising a new tour/album so that was that.....
So I thought. ah, no album recorded with mac, tapes stolen from a van , no being named on some electrafixion songs, no 'it wasthe lyrics were the problem' and so on. Or file under 'don't want to say anything rude about someone?
So I realised this was quite early in the book, before he'd bet Moz. Sadly dates are far and few between but early on-sh. Suppose I'll have to read the book properly.....
Stay tuned kiddies (yes that's you VB)
