No offense, but I don't know how you can stand to read book
after book about the same person/people.

equally talented and insightful, and when they all review the same
sources and focus on the same areas

If it seems to have new information, I'd be more likely to read it.

Fascinating interview with Riley, the author:
http://www.csmonitor.com/Books/2011/0922/Who-was-John-Lennon-Interview-with-biographer-Tim-Riley
One interesting quote:
Will Paul McCartney ever tell his story? Do you think he will write a
memoir?
I think he’s going to take it all with him. [Paul] is a giant puzzle
because he really doesn’t care too much about scholarship and history.
It doesn’t matter to him the way that it matters to a critic. Because
he keeps telling stories that people have demonstrated to him
repeatedly are not true. But they’re such great stories that you can
tell that he kind of believes they are true. For him it is a kind of
form of vivid truth. So he just doesn’t really have a critical vantage
on his own life the way we very much wish he did.

Translation: "if it has negative hearsay about Yoko, I'll scour it top
to bottom and quote it liberally in RMB".
Billy
Oh yeah. Racism. That's why.
topaz
Maybe you could do your own research and write a nice book about
Yoko. Then you can counteract the negative books .
topaz
Fatts around at rmb and make sure to criticize her post because it
feels sooooo good".
who?
How can you have new information about a guy who has been
analyzed to death for the past 30 years who only lived to be
age 40? There is nothing new unless some new music is
discovered in the vaults, which is highly unlikely.

Huh? He repeats himself so much in every interview that there
is nothing else interesting to hear. He's so accessible.
If it hadn't been for John and George, there wouldn't be any
mystery.

See above.
[Paul] is a giant puzzle
You've got to be kidding.

Huh? He's an open book.
Because

What stories? He and Lennon agreed on everything except for
one song, and who wrote what in the Playboy interview.
Has he changed his stories since then?
But they’re such great stories that you can

First it's John and Yoko, and now you're accusing him of
the same thing?

Not sure if I will ever read this book, although the first review on
Amazon makes it sound wonderful.
I feel a bit burned out from reading Beatles and Lennon books for the
last three decades. How much more can be said, or discovered, or
portrayed in a different light from books previously published?
And yet, I always find something new or different to say about The
Beatles and John Lennon in my own writings.
Looking forward to someone on RMB reading Riley's new book, and
posting review or comments about it.

McCartney's life that he does not share with the public.

There's always room for a new book. The real shocker here is that the
title isn't some John Lennon song. There will eventually be 250 Beatle
books, each with the title of one of the tunes. Is there one called
"Ticket to Ride"? Yes, there is. "Eight Days a Week"? Yes, three of
them! So I take it back. There can be an infinite number of Beatle
books. Then there are the solo tunes, like "Dear Boy". Ok, that's
about Keith Moon for some reason.
but anyway, there should always be more Beatle books than one can read.
Fattuchus
History and archeology fascinate me, even if the subject is centuries
old. People still read and write about Kennedy, Lincoln, the
Pharoahs, etc.
There can always be a new spin, new documents found, etc.
Fattuchus
I'm not accusing Paul . . . .this is someone else's quote.

And whats true of all these fokes?? Their all DEAD fer Gobsakes!!
Lotta good them books did..
Nuff saisd
who?
I would rather hear discussion on George, Paul, the Kennedy's,
Howard Hughes.....you name it....but no more John and Yoko
for me. I read about 2-4 books on Hughes years ago. If the
info is correct, he was very paranoid about germs and the
way silverware was handed to him. Freaked out about personal
appearances, etc etc.
who?
As far as the aspects of his personal life goes, that's something
only somebody like yourself would be interested in....gossip.
He's kept so busy over the years just writing and recording
music that he couldn't even have much of a private life. But,
you'll keep digging and find something to...psst about. I
couldn't even get half way through "Many years from now".
It was boring. Unlike many here, I love some of his solo
music.....but don't care to hear him talk that much. Same
old thing. Harrison's "I me mine" was even more interesting,
but not by much.
Fattuchus
I ignore him. I don't waste my time with him.

You're my bitch.
who?
Fortunately when people are having sex, they focus on the same
areas.

A reasonable idea. It probably drives him wild that the object of his
obsession ignores him.
If he did n't follow your posts around, good Lord , he wouldn't
have a real purpose in life. LOL

moonpie
the 70s. Or maybe they came out right after he died, cant remember.
Anyway yeah he turned out to be extremely neurotic, to the point of
never cutting his hair or his fingernails, and wandering around with
kleenex boxes for shoes... deathly afraid of germs and contagions.
who?
people. He wanted some ice cream. The kind he wanted, this
company didn't make that time of year. So, he is so wealthy
he decides to buy a years worth of ice cream from the
company. All this ice cream is loaded onto the plane,
and Hughes eats 2 spoonfuls. He said he didn't like dat.
The rest of the ice cream....the other passengers on the
plane ate it, but the rest went to waste...and melted on
the plane. Who knows if this story is true though?
