In 1988 Paul was asked on the TODAY show regarding the recently then published controversial The Lives of John Lennon: "If a book like this were to come out about you, what would you do?" Macca: "About me? I'd probably read that one!"
2Legs returns this week and our topic is McCartney Biographies. We trace the historiography of the very meager beginnings of McCartney-related texts first appearing in the late 70s all the way to present day with later works by Sounes and Norman. This week we are joined by Mr. Joe Wisbey, the curator of the Instagram account @BooksBeatles and he offers a very refreshing analysis on Macca and Beatles texts in general.
Tom, Andy & Joe discuss the popular ones, and a few that have flown "under the radar".
