I do love that book and BOMP! meant a lot to me... Greg Shaw is the man who really gave me all the breaks anyone could ever have wanted, and I feel honored to be part of a fantastic group of people to whom he gave a break. Kudos go to the art directors of SMOG Design - John and Jeri Heiden, and to Suzy for keeping the Bomp going. One year later, I chime in to say THANKS for the name-check Fred!

I went to see any group I could that you would find in there. I remember saying if I only had some money I could get involved in promoting some of these great groups, lots of people would love 'em. My friend Mark said "If I had some money I'd invest in THAT guy!" referring the Mark. He always seemed to be ahead of the wave. Sorry to hear he passed on...

Suzy and Mick Farren did a great job, both in the selection process (Greg had started the project so it reflects his choices of course in many places) and in the narrative exposition to tell the whole tale. Amazing layout with the original pages reproduced... Lots of Theresa's pics in there too! ;-) Kickass book.
