   that by "double life" this means his pre- and post-motorcycle lives. So far   
   just the pre-motorcycle accident is published (basically, volume 1). The   
   review doesn't mention any    
   new revelations, just the "new angle" that there are two Bobs, the pre and   
   post Bobs. Stephan Pickering would no doubt scoff.

   Okay, I put it on my Christmas wish list. I haven't read any Heylin books.   
   I'll bet what set Stephan off on him was his book "Trouble in Mind: Bob   
   Dylan's Gospel Years – What Really Happened. Lesser Gods." Or if Stephan   
   already disliked Heylin, I'm    
   sure that book was the final straw. I do wonder what became, not just of   
   Stephan (it's pretty certain he died), but of his work-in-progress.
