Great blog from Jack:

http://www.jacksonni.com/mixed-emotions/

Quite sad really; one day he was playing Live Aid then he was selling his guitars to pay the rent. :'(

Indeed... but just as amazing that one day he was working in a guitar shop and the next he was in the biggest band in the world. MK giveth and MK taketh away. MK mentioned him at Mandela so it's strange that Jack seems bitter over how things went down. The book will be very interesting.

So many musicians came and left DS over the course of their history, and seldom did we ever hear the real reasons why from their perspective. (except perhaps for DK) That's why the book will be interesting. It will be nice for once to hear the full story (hopefully) from the musician himself.

It looks like Jack is still looking for a publisher...

Anyone could came up with any online solution that could be useful to him?
You might get lucky, now and then
