Patterson does a thorough job of reprinting/rewriting a lot of old Rolling Stone articles, but doesn't go the extra distance in tracking down the behind-the-scenes story of this great rock 'n' roll rumor. Anyone who is interested in this topic is urged to seek out the book TURN ME ON, DEAD MAN by Andru Reeve, available thru Amazon Books. I found it to be the superior of the two books, though Reeve's book is a bit pricey (I paid $35 for my copy).
