I kid you not, I saw a couple of copies of that title at my local Barnes and Noble. Tommy James-of "and the Shondells" fame. Gotta admit, my imagination ran wild:
"Hey, you up dere on da' stage-sing 'Crimson and Clover' or you sleep with the fishes".............. It has to be a SHORT story. That's got to be the most one-sided fight in history.
First The Four Seasons, now Tommy James-who do these guys think they are-freakin' Sinatra?

I read Me, the Mob, and the Music: One Helluva Ride last week.

It chronicles the infamous Morris Levy and his label Roulette Records, for which Tommy recorded. It made for a pretty quick read but was pretty entertaining nonetheless. :D
