Tuesday's Music-Themed Photo-Funnies
Bill Wyman doing Ed Sullivan -- let's really hear it for him, boys and girls!!! 😎
If memory serves, that's from Mark Shipper's PAPERBACK WRITER, which is an alternative-history bio of the Fabs and the funniest rock-and-roll book ever written. Out of print since forever, alas.
shipper's book is available on the used book market - price in low teens
i'm wondering if you'll delve into the life and times of someone important in the biz about whom one hears less than complimentary things - people want to write and perform music, make a living and find fortune and fame, bring artistic renditions to the public - in the process of doing that darker forces also shape behaviour - carrots and sticks, metaphorically - triumph and tragedy - it's your blog, steve, do what you think is best
"MEAT" The Beatles. WOW!!!
