This was lovely. I've always been very fond of Dean and his band, admired him even, for his suave detachment and oblique lyricism. This book humanizes him in ways good and bad, but it doesn't make me like him any less. It makes me miss Luna a whole lot more, though, at the same time that it makes me wonder how they could have stuck at it for so long without really ever getting paid. We obviously didn't appreciate them enough while they were around. I wish I'd paid more for all of my tickets to see them and all of their albums. Maybe that would have made it more worthwhile for them to stay together. But maybe they needed to be put out of their misery much sooner. They suffered for us, clearly.
