Читать книгу Primus, Over the Electric Grapevine - Primus - Страница 4

The germ of the idea for this book can be traced to an exact date—Thursday, June 9, 2011, at roughly 5:30 p.m. That was when Greg Prato wrapped up an interview with Les Claypool over the phone for Rolling Stone and presented the question, “Thanks for the interview . . . and by the way, did you ever think of doing a book about the history of Primus?” A brief backstage meeting took place after a Primus show at Roseland (RIP) in New York City on Friday, September 30, 2011, shortly before midnight, and the book idea was officially given the thumbs-up (with an agreement that it would be best to set it up in an “oral history” format). The first interview for the book took place (with Les) on Wednesday, January 11, 2012, at 1:00 p.m., and the final interview for the book (again with Les) took place on Tuesday, October 23, 2012, at 1:30 p.m. The first draft of the book was submitted via e-mail on Thursday, November 8, 2012, at 7:56 p.m., and the book’s contract was signed/submitted on Thursday, February 20, 2014, at 10:00 a.m. This paragraph was completed/submitted for inclusion in the book on Tuesday, April 29, 2014, at 10:12 p.m. [Please note: all times listed above are according to Eastern Standard Time.]
