I've been looking for a copy of "Before I Get Old" for quite a while. My
(former) wife bought me a copy it the day before I left for Army basic
training in 1985. The bastards at the Fort Jackson reception station made me
dump it in a big bin full of "contraband" (guns, knives, porn etc.) that the
new recruits had in their possession. Maybe the nude photo of Keith counted
as "pornography". Anyway, I never got a chance to read it. If somebody can
point me to a copy for a reasonable price ($30 seems pretty steep...is it
hardcover?) I'd appreciate it.

Randall Hixson, who is quite bummed that John's tour with Ringo Starr is
coming to town (Tampa) the night he plans to make the 600-mile drive to
Atlanta for Lollapalooza.
