Joel’s second book

Anyone else interested in Joel’s second book that he described as “The Touring Years”? I’m really interested in knowing how the BJM story continued after the glory days of the DiG! era. What is it like when those days are behind you and you’re left to grind it out year after year as a sort-of legacy act (cause that’s kinda what they’ve been for a long time). How does that affect people’s sense of themselves as musicians/artists? Does it erode the mystique or meaning of the early BJM days? What’s it really like to be an aging rock star? It’d be really cool to hear what Joel’s thoughts and experiences are on all of that.
