Finished it last night.

Steve wrapped it up beautifully in "Epilogue: The Headstone" how the Black Crowes didn't deserve to go out as a greedy Chris Robinson project, but that (and I'm going to butcher this part), it belongs, buried next to some rusty , by a stream under a mighty oak.

So happy to have this book, after all the years of wondering, even if its a small slice of some of the answers.

I couldn't help but think of this song after I read it:

Train Robbers
Chris Robinson & The New Earth Mud

I think I'll rob a train
And move to South America
Wander off in the rain
Come out smiling, and dry
Legend, fortune, and fame
I will be stuff of headlines
Another household name
To be discarded with time
If theirs one thing I've learned, from this life of crime
When it's all over, split up the money and go your own way
And if you get caught, don't say nothing, just stay in line
Till your chance comes and you can make your next, getaway
I must admit, It's strange
These visions of empty ballrooms
And the sound of a sad refrain
Like a smoke ring, floating by
But the Omen already came,
In the form of a pear tree
That grows out of a cave
Into a crystal, waterfall
If theirs one thing I've learned, from this life of crime
When it's all over, split up the money and go your own way
If you get caught, don't say nothing, just stay in line
Till your chance comes, you can make your next, getaway
As a child, I dreamed
I was geronimo
And all the gifts I received
Were from my enemies, and all my friends alike
