Saw Mark at The Savoy last night. Packed to the fucken rafters. So good to see him healthy and happy. Wish he got a bit deeper into shit with Tom etc, a lot of the anectodes were kind of lifted word for word from the book - but fairplay. Just nice to see him triumph over everything. Dan Ozzi seemed like a good dude, too. Finished the book in a day - and I'm a Tombot

I loved Mark's book, it's so well written, and it's an emotional roller coaster that hooks you from page one and doesn't let go.
The highs are really high and lows are way lower than expected.
The recurring “one in a million” theme ties it all together beautifully, and I love how the story starts from Mark's desert town roots and then circles back to the desert for their triumphant comeback at Coachella.As diehard fans/self made blink historians, don't expect to find things you've never heard of, but the chapter on Robert Smith caught me off guard in the best way lol
And as Kay noted this morning, the story behind "Go" was horrifying.I think Mark had to hold some juicier details from the TRL era and I'm sure he has a lot more to say about the pop disaster tour, but I understand why he didn't do it and kept telling us that Billie Joe and Mike are nice guys.
Scott's complete absence from the book is another thing that wasn't unexpected.
As someone who has always seen Scott as a core member despite lacking Mark and Tom's “IT factor,” I’m left wondering if maybe we should reassess his role in the band at this point.
I'm just rambling- let's say thinking out loud but in this case typing lol. I woke up at 5:30 am because my cat was crying and instead of going back to sleep I started reading the book, finished at around 11:30, it was a great full immersion, loved every second of it. blink life. for life. 😭🩷An Elisa take is always solid. Glad to hear you loved it.

This was easily one of the biggest revelations in the book for me. I'm not totally shocked with how things played out with Tom in those years, but damn, that was a tough look.
Yeah. That's rough. I always envisaged they maybe had muted respect at the funeral and saw each other but I'd get why that would incense Mark. However, his animosity is likely was in part what drove Tom away. Onions and layers

Got my book. Just have no idea when I’ll have the time to commit to it. How do I get the audiobook? It would be easier for me to listen
Think you can buy it on Spotify pal

Mark did didn’t delve into specifics in the book. But I would have to imagine that after years of touring in buses and in relative luxury they probably weren’t willing to part with that lifestyle which could’ve driven up costs. Travis bailing midway through the 07 Euro tour meant they had to pay a fill-in. Smaller guarantees having to open for people eats into that. And as the industry cratered in the late 00s I know that labels were giving less tour support. They talked about that some during the Neighborhoods press cycle, how Interscope barely knew what to do with the album, and that was the same label that released +44.
I wonder if at the end of the day that’s also what drove the initial Blink reunion too — I’m sure Tom wasn’t stoked about being relegated to Warped tour status in middle age
How's the book, man? Proper minutiae of their relationship type shit? Need to get it ordered.

Think divorce, Robert Smith, Tom Delonge, cancer and Mario Kart will colour the book

Mark's a well-read motherfucker. This book should kick asssss. Finally get THE insight into the Mark/Tom love srory.
I emailed Dan Ozzi, the co-writer, a year or so ago - asking for writing advice. He was really gracious. When I found out that he was involved in Mark's book, I shared the Zoom story. He was happy to hear it. Hope it sells a buttload

It’s nice seeing Tom post that the next album is going to blow this one away, and that they’ve only “just started”
Tom can be blink's greatest hype-man when he's on point. Literally telling Mark whilst he had cancer ' 'Let's get you healed and then go dominate' - 125 shows later, they did just that.

Take Me In, If You Never Left, Can't Go Back, No Fun. Massive.
How does Mark still write great songs about heartbreak when he's been with Skye since he was 27? Mad that he can still access those feelings so accurately.

Fuck yeah. Good find Mon Ami. I think blink once said they consider themselves a Fisher-Price 'My First Punk Band'. If you can follow the thread from blink to The Clash, then Blink did their job - still do. RIP Joe
