I read somewhere yesterday (and I can't remember where) that there is a book in the works about Shannon's life titled "Caramel Cake Covered Christmas."
Does anyone have any information about this book or when it is supposed to be ready?

There is no official release date yet, but it is supposed to be coming soon. The author is Greg Prato. I'm sure we'll know as soon as there is a date. I'm excited about the book, I hope it will be available soon.

I can't wait to get my hands on the book. I'm so surprised that no one has written a book before this. There are plenty of references to Shannon in regards to his drug use and OD but never anything positive. It will be a nice change.

I'm excited as well. I wasn't sure I was seeing straight when I read that because it is the first I've heard of it. I wonder where he's getting all his information.
It would be great to see some of his original journal entries included but that may be a stretch.

I would like that if it was done tastefully. I didn't like when Kurt Cobain's came out. It was exploitive. I think if they included a few pages about different subject (fame, fans, Nico, etc) in context it would be cool.

Is it the way you're speakin' Is it because I'm peakin' Twistin' your face, thumb in hand, but you Gotta have your own space to play in A collection of glass chickens Oh Vernie,what a garden you have Maybe its the snuff under your lip >>>>>>>Or maybe caramel cake covered Christmas Oh a flower you are to my land, but I No I cannot deny the beauty If I had a heart I would want it to be like Vernie's Oh what a heart that she has Roaming through the cupboard jar of pickles never opened since 1983 Peanuts in a pile and Elvis down the aisle Singing gallantly I wish I could be A little more like Vernie Oh, I wanna be I wanna be a little more like Vernie

Thanks for filling me in, and I have to say that Shannon was a total trip with all the the lyrics he wrote showing how deep and creative his thinking and storytelling was.
