I was blessed to see it happen. I did have a slight regret, though: My only regret was that the choice of well-known popular names did not always equal \u201cbest interview\u201d or \u201cbest read.\u201d I told myself that when Volume Two of this series came out, the chapters\/stories would be hand-picked by me, where I could reprint interviews like the Type O Negative story, where the late Peter Steele told me his answer to the \u201cJesus\u201d question by stating emphatically, \u201cI thought he was a fool! I would not have died for the sins of humanity. They\u2019re not worth it.\u201d It wasn\u2019t the positive affirmation that some readers might have hoped for, but it sure was passionate and heartfelt.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;ve put together a little video to explain the KickStarter campaign that I&#8217;ve launched to get this book published.
