Brewer Group: Members Posts: 60 Joined: July 2002 Posted: Aug. 04 2003, 13:17 Annie Nightingale once done (early 90's) a lot of research into writting a biography of MO. This including hours and hours of interviews with MO about his childhood and his problem with "instant" fame. Whilst the project was put on the back burner for contractual reasons, i'm wondering has any thing ever come of it and is there any movement to get it written and realeased ? Opinions please. -------------- Maker of MOs favourite beverage No trees were harmed in the creation and sending of this message.

He's certainly got one fan sitting here very disillusioned with him just now and if a die hard fan is getting disillusioned with him I'm affraid it speaks volumes as far as the world outside the fan base is concerned. It all comes back to the fact that if people arn't really that interested in his music anymore do you really think they'd be interested in a book about him? I know we all would be but do you really think the rest of the world would be? I can guarantee that would be the first fact a potential publisher would look at. Sad but unfortunately true.
