You finished off the Hep Stars book for a guy that originally did all the
research. Did that make the project easier or harder from your point of
view?

CMP: Easier in some respects, harder in others. Easier mainly because all
the interviews had already been done, so I didn't have to go about preparing
and conducting those, which can be both time-consuming and exhausting.
Harder because I had to sift through someone else's earlier findings and
conclusions, trying to determine what was right and what was wrong. In a
certain sense, it's easier to do that when you come entirely fresh to a
project, because you don't have any other preconceptions than your own to
deal with.
