Re: Before I Get Old



Marsh's writing (from 1982, remember) is maddeningly...verose, at times.  WE
can't reject the book outright, because it compiles, for the first time, a
string of early 70s history many fans didn't (and might not yet) know about. 
    Marsh is not the objective observer. How many books on entertainment
figures are written by entirely objective writers? Can that happen, more than
once? Probably not...
    Befre I Get Old is the best we'll have until Pete writes his, and that
might be even more verbose and obtuse. No less honest, though...
