...that this new 'official' Wings book 'by' PMcC is just a rehash of all previous Wings books, so there is precisely
no new information for anyone who's read those, of which I'm one. I think it's been shown by previous PMcC biographers that he often retells stories he's read about himself written by others, so you can't really trust this stuff but I will also say, it's not that important. Sadly I suspect the general understanding that PMcC is a charming, intelligent but superficial bloke, seems true (or at least: he projects that in the world, including in publications like this. It's hard to imagine that behind closed doors he's not more nuanced).
This book is available on spotifuck as a freebie so I have taken it as far as the time in-between Wild Life and Red Rose Speedway but seriously I don't think I can proceed any further with it because it's just a sanitised version of a story which is only interesting if there's analysis of motives, etc which this doesn't really do.
I don't know if you're wondering why my spotifuck is in Finnish, I sometimes wonder not why exactly (it's the kind of thing I'd do, obviously) but I don't remember doing it, and so I don't know how to put it back to English, but I am managing ok with how it is.
