Rock'n' fkn Roll Alex! Passed my copy of Hoffmans book on to one of my roadie mates who couldnt put it down once he started reading it. Im just starting on Lance Armstrongs Bio....funny really  :-\
Oh yeah forgot to mention to anyone who hasnt got a copy of Hoffmans book, I got my  hard back copy off ebay for a fiver. You just have to keep an eye out for them popping up now and then.

Did I mention I have a personal copy signed by the great man himself and inscribed "To the Humphrey family" which he sent me from the States a few years ago.  Inspirational book and a great read - I'm not one for reading books but found time for this one.  Have a spare copy knocking around somewhere too so maybe should shove it on the Bay sometime.  Humps
