Good, but I could've written a more accurate book...

Okay, let me start off by saying that they did a good job of filling new fans in on LFO's history... it's got a lot of info on how they started and their beginnings with Brizz. But I could've written a more accurate book! The writers obviously got 99% of their info from magazine articles and websites, without verifying if the info was accurate. And we all know that mags & websites don't always have the correct information! They wrote that Rich and Brizz met Brad at a party in NYC. Now, that's what I had thought too because that's what their old bio said. But then in recent interviews and stuff, they said that Rich knocked on Lou's door and Brad answered it and that's how they met. Well, I asked Brad about how they REALLY met and it was at Lou's house, not at a party in NYC! The other thing they were wrong about was LFO first US performance... they said it was at the Orlando Bands Together show on March 15, 1998. That's not right. Because I saw them perform for the first time on February 21, 1998 when they opened up for BSB at the House of Blues in Orlando! Other than that, the book is good and full of info for relatively new fans. (I've been a fan for 2 years, so it was mostly old news to me!) I don't want it to sound like the book isn't good though... it is very informative! Too bad there weren't more pix though! =)
