There was a story written about Mike Ried in Sports Illustrated "Where are
they now?" issue (I think it had the 70's Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders on
the cover). Interesting story - the guy is very intelligent (he was working
on a stage show at the time) but very un-confident about his short time as
a solo performer.
