Heaven -- or whoever is in charge -- save us from the Levon Helm acolytes, Robert Ham included. Talk about One-sided stories! I recently re-watched "the Last Waltz": in the scene Robert Ham refers to, Robertson _clearly_ is asking Scorcese if he should simplify what he just said, so editing needn't be done. For the sake of honesty, Scorcese left it in. No subterfuge, just smart, storytelling thinking on Robertson's part. Furthermore, Robertson - time and again -- refers to his OWN abuse of cocaine, mentions doing LSD, and even hints that he might have tried heroin. Robert Ham has twisted THOSE stories into pretzels that no longer resemble the original bread sticks. The question is: WHY? Did he not actually read the book, or is he so entrenched in the long-gestating lies told by Helm that he can't see straight. TESTIMONY is a _dynamite_ Rock N roll memoir, and, for my money, as good as the Elvis biographies written by Guralnick.
