From the Inside Flap

...I went back to the original notes and interviews in order to add pertinent information and correct inaccuracies in order to tell a more complete story. Indeed, rereading the original stories and essays induced me to relisten to more music, compare facts, ask more questions, and reread and correct the errors that often seemed to leap off the old clippings.
