Jeb: I am very thrilled you wrote this book. You have had an amazing career.

Bob: "I’ve heard that from a lot of people, so I am really pleased about that. People are actually thanking me for writing it, which is a really great thing and it makes it all worthwhile. It is nice to hear that people are enjoying it so much and getting so much out of it."

Jeb: The whole story with Ozzy…that is a huge story, but it is not just that. I think it is cool that you didn’t use a ghostwriter and, since you kept such a great diary over the years, that makes the documentation so precise.

Bob: "The diaries really came in handy. I started keeping a diary in January of 1976. The timeline is correct and accurate. There is no guesswork, or estimates in this book, as I just looked everything up. There were a few blank pages throughout the diaries, where I got busy, or forgot to write in it, or whatever, but all of the main dates were there. The photographs are great as well. I took most of the photographs when we were working, but they are in the studio, or on the road, or whatever."

Jeb: Your writing style makes this book come off as very genuine.

Bob: "It is genuine. I think that is the difference between writing it yourself, and using a ghostwriter. Not everyone can do it as not everyone can string a sentence together. I’ve always been interested in the English language and grammar and it helped being a lyricist as well. I think that makes a difference, telling the story yourself, from your own words, from your own heart and mind. All I had to do was remember the truth and the truth is the truth, so I just told the truth. I didn’t bad mouth, or slag anyone off, or whatever. It was just me saying, 'This is what happened. Make up your own mind.'"

About For Facts Sake, Bob states: "Well folks, at long last, my autobiography For Facts Sake is ready to roll. It's taken me over four years to complete. It covers every band and artist that I've ever worked with and has over 460 photos (many of them color) within and throughout the text. I wanted to make it affordable for the many fans that have given their support. I hope that it lives up to your expectations."
