Did Marilyn and JFK really have an affair? Was she murdered, or was it suicide? Read this book to find out everything you want to know about Marilyn. Badman does a great job of pulling resources as well as doing his own research to make Marilyn's life more accurate. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a biography, because Marilyn was such a fascinating person, and Badman brings her back to life in this book.” (Thank you, Kayla!)

(“Truly great to see that again,” Keith admitted, “especially since I was told years ago the tapes had been junked!”)
- Record Collector came calling. Up today, Paul Jones’ 1994 appearance on the ITV Heavy Metal show, Noisy Mothers.
(7) London – KISS meeting, with Alan, Ceres and Alexa at Twickenham Studios. One of the day’s highlights?
