King Crimson Biography errors - loads of them!

   I recently looked at the KC biography, and there are numerous errors and punctuation errors - for example... 

1) It's Ian McDonald, NOT Ian MacDonald - this error occurs EVERY time his name is mentioned,
2) It's Boz Burrell, NOT Boz Burrelll - too many ells. Again, this occurs every time he's mentioned,
3) Fripp had nothing at all to do with Brain's "Nightmares in Red". Before GGF, the Giles Brothers were in a manufactured band called Trendsetters Inc. Whilst with them, toward the end of the band's life, they recorded and released "Nightmares in Red" under the pseudonym Brain. Fripp had nothing to do with it at all.
4) The author repeatedly refers to KC as being an "Art Rock" band. RUBBISH - they were PROG.

Also, there are punctuation mistakes all over the place.

It would be simpler if I copied the text out, added notes/corrections, then posted it back to someone, Is this possible?
