He got about 100 pages into the sequel and decided that not only was he 
bored with his own antics but felt everyone else would be too. One book 
filled with gratuitous sex, drugs & rock and roll road stories is 
fine....but he felt he'd just be repeating himself.

However, the first book ends in 1983 with the demise of Goddo. I think if 
Greg did it properly and focused on the phoenix-like come back of Goddo not 
once, but twice (in 1989 and in 2001 respectively), the Carpet Frogs and the 
edgy rise and fall of the Anger Brothers it would be a more palpable 
cautionery tale than the first book was. In other words, write it from an 
industry/artist's perspective rather than as a rock star -- which is how the 
first one was presented.
