Negative Positive
Title: Hugely disappointing.
Review: Having missed the first printing, I eagerly waited for many years for this to become available again. I suppose the anticipation for something special and enlightening only served to set me up for a complete letdown, and that is exactly what best describes this utter waste of my precious time. There's no denying that Bruce Thomas is a superlative bass player...but as a writer, he just should not have bothered. I suspect this trash was induced by an overindulgence in halucinogenic dabbling. He appears to be an unappreciative and bitter soul. Such a pity for such a talented musician. But I will grant you this, I never was a big fan of the British low-brow sense of humor to begin with...I just don't get it. Benny Hill, Monty Python, all that garbage must be viewed on a good strong buzz to be appreciated in any way. So my recommendation is this...if you are going to bother reading "The Big Wheel," roll yourself a large one first.Sir Clyde Crashcup
