This is a work of non-fiction, as perceived by the electrical and chemical exchanges within my brain. However, in a few instances, the haze of those things partially erased certain details of a memory, making a nurses name, exact features, or the exact content of a conversation elude me. In writing about those memories, I have taken a few liberties, as opposed to leaving them out, for which I hope the reader will find understanding. That being said, the bulk of the book is non-fiction. I have been as accurate as any heart patient can be when shackled with pain meds, beta-blockers, LDL-lowering capsules, stents, by-pass surgery, the twenty-four hour circus of the emergency room, EKGs , and a mosaic of other heart-healthy devices. I have also double checked my facts to correct the occasional misfiring which may have occurred in my skull, researching medical records and checking with others to verify my recollections.

(Book). This book is a thorough account of the year that caught everyone's ear. Elvis was sighted in the top spot of "The Billboard 200." The Rolling Stones rocked the album charts at #2. An "American Idol" grabbed Pop chart glory. Nelly nabbed #1 for 17 straight weeks. And, a bevy of female vocalists delivered huge chart hits. Only in Joel Whitburn's 2002 Billboard Music Yearbook will you find as complete, as concise, and as compelling a chronicle of all of the hits and artists of 2002. It's the perfect annual supplement to ten Record Research books.
