Norman was infamous for his Lennon-bias in his biography of the Beatles. The book referred to by Paul as "Shite" rather than it's correct title "Shout".

I've had this book for a number of years without actually getting round to reading it. Apart from Norman's reputation, it's also huge.

Anyway, Norman addresses the Lennon issue upfront and acknowledges his misjudgements. So far, so good.

The other important point is that the book is not Beatle-centric. About half of it that focuses on Paul's Wings/Solo era.

Whilst not authorised Paul did it give it his approval which opened up a lot of avenues that would otherwise have not been available and which does make this THE Macca biography to read.

A few other comments;

- the release of Peter Jackson's Get Back has rather exploded a few myths about January 1969. It would be interesting to hear Norman's analysis on this

- Norman is clearly Conservative-minded when it comes to politics. Too many comments along the way make this very apparent. Doesn't really detract from the book, but......
