    Not the biggest Wenner fan myself, but will probably get this as I am sure it will be an interesting read.

    …he actually went through about 3 very, very serious health scares in the last two years.

    That's not good! Hope he's better. I am not a fan of his, but I certainly do not wish bad things on him.

    Agreed.

    Here is his quote:

    "I had a heart attack, a broken leg, three back operations, infected in there. I had four eye operations," Wenner said. "It was more than enough."

    And the link to the CBS story:

    There was a warts n' all biography of Wenner and RS magazine a few years ago. Wenner was very cooperative but he was NOT pleased with the result. I wonder if this is a counter to that book.

    I guess I'll read it, if I ever finish the other 200 books!

    Thanks, though! I will check it out, maybe do some keyword searches.
