I have had a few people ask me why I wrote this book. The funny thing is that I never had a plan or an intention to write a book; the thought never really occurred to me. I mean, what could I say that somebody would be interested to read. However, I had some friends a few years ago that loved hearing my stories about some of the crazy relationships I had in the past and they told me with all seriousness that I should write a book. They said my stories were very interesting and often quite funny. At first, I kind of scoffed at the idea because it just seemed kind of preposterous. Yes my stories were interesting but still who would want to read them without knowing who I am? Plus, I was wondering that if I did do it, would it not be kind of assholish, to write about previous loves and romances? I mean some of this is fairly private stuff. Then it occurred to me that if I was going to do it, I could just change the names and that seemed like a better idea. However, then I decided that if I was going to go that far then I might as well write about all of it; the good, the bad, & the dirty. Not only that, but I should do it the best I could from both sides (not just mine) and I don't always come out smelling like roses. Now a little over three years later, I am a published author and that is pretty damn cool. Should you choose to read it, I sincerely hope that you enjoy it. It was certainly an experience writing it and reliving some of these things that I hadn't thought about in years while doing so.
Paul McCartney’s 5 Greatest Albums Outside of the Beatles So yesterday I started a countdown of Paul's five greatest albums outside of the Beatles and named Venus and Mars number five. Again, I am looking at the albums with the best songs from beginning to finish and not necessarily the albums with the biggest hits. Tonight, I am continuing the countdown with album number four. 4) Tug of War This album was released in early 1982, on the heels of the horrific murder of John Lennon. It was also largely the first album that Paul dropped the Wings thing and released this as a solo album after a multitude of band member changes. This was also the last album that he recorded with Denny Laine, who was the only constant member of Wings other than Paul & Linda. This album clearly had some of Paul’s best work and the title track was a master in itself. ‘Here Today’ was a beautiful tribute to his musical soulmate John and ‘The Pound is Sinking’ was an awesome so...
