Here's a link to a post about an email that Eric Lefcowitz wrote discussing the "shenanigans" about the most recent tour.
He seems to be discussing the Summer/Fall 2012 tour as if Davy were still alive. He also seems to want to stir up controversy about Davy insisting that his new, young wife perform on the 2011 tour. And that something other than a misunderstanding on the part of the booking agents occurred to interrupt the end of the tour. And that Mike was about to go blind?
Certain elements of sensationalism can sell books, or try to. But it seems like he is trying to drum up excitement by trumping up all charges.
At least the link includes his list of Top Ten Reasons they should be in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame (RRHF). Frankly, we all have to wait for certain politics, and perhaps the man himself, Jann Wenner, to die. Lefcowitz makes a decent argument, but it's a lost cause. The significant thing is to remember why people care & like & LOVE this band.
PS Penn Jilette wrote the Forward to this version. He's an excellent writer and a big fan of 1960's music. He also wrote the Forward for Howard Kaylan's book, "Shell Shocked". Excerpt from the book here, written by Kaylan about Tricia Nixon.
