Anybody have this?  What do you think of it?  I thought it was pretty good, but a little short on good stories if that makes sense.  Thoughts...

It's a very god book, well respected amongst the fandom world.  And pretty much definitive on what the song inspirations really were.

Right now I'm re-reading Tim Riley's Tell Me Why, a song by song breakdown that is far beter than Ian MacDonald's effort.

Yeah I have it too - like Mr C says, it's a great book. Some of thier songs don't really have that much of a story, but in those cases, the author gives us his interpretation of the lyrics.

There's a John Lennon book in a similar vain too.

I also have it, and I learnt a lot of thing from it. For example, I had always thought "Every little thing" was JOHN's, and I got quite surpirsed when I erad it was actually Paul's writing about Jane Asher...


JOHN LENNON is my Sun King!

I actually just bought this book and would deem it to be an excellent read. One of my new favorite Beatle books.


You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.
