| Deborah Brooks commenting on : I enjoyed it overall, but kind felt bogged down in the manager, contract, this producer, that producer, this person was the technician, etc... I guess I wanted a bit more about being a father/husband...not PERSONAL..I know he keeps his life private and he SHOULD, but I know he is said to be an exceptional father and so many rockers DON"T pull that off. |
| Karsten, Greasy Lake commenting on : Good question. You'll just have to make a guess. But if I may give you a hint, Marc Dolan is on par with the general public opinion, although he takes it a step further than probably most fans would. |
