Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now Review: Terrific Look Over The Wall Into McCartney's Private World! - Those of us who grew up watching the evolution of the Beatles and Paul McCartney will find this authoritative biography written by longtime friend Barry Miles a thought-provoking and interesting glimpse into many aspects of McCartney's otherwise quite private and personal life story. The view is startling, given the fact that so many in the media have forwarded the view that Paul was the lesser of the two main creative forces within the group. The account delivered here via a long-running series of interviews with Paul puts the lie to that notion, showing just how influential and fateful were Paul's contribution to the Lennon and McCartney writing genius. It also gives the fascinated reader a mind-boggling glimpse into the creative forces behind the individual songs, and travels knowingly along the historic path leading each of the "Fab Four" from poverty and obscurity to fabled fame and fortune. The result is a marvelous biography and an immensely entertaining reading experience. The book is full of insider information about the genesis and sources of each of the songs and albums along the way, ranging from the creation of "I Saw Her Standing There" all the way to the "Long And Winding Road", at a time when the members of the group could barely stand to inhabit the same space for any period of time. We come to understand how the arrival of fame and fortune changed each of them forever, and although Paul's perspective is the only one aired here, one marvels at just how fair-minded and self-effacing he seems to be in assessing the values, contribution, and failings of each of the Beatles, himself included. It also shows just how instrumental the guidance of the so-called fifth Beatle, George Martin, was to both their initial breakthrough as well as to their successful riding of the wave-crest of fame that swept over them with such an enormous impact. It also illustrates just how versatile and intelligent Paul has been, masterfully managing and orchestrating both his music and his fortune to become one of the wealthiest and most successful of the rock luminaries emerging from the sixties. And while his later music may have been disappointing in more critical terms, there is no doubting that he has been a continuing critical influence in the continuing evolution of popular music in the thirty years since the Beatles disbanded. Paul has had a rich and rewarding life, and has become a well-known benefactor of worthy causes and sometimes-reclusive widower of his long-time love and wife Linda, who died several years ago, succumbing to cancer. Still, the McCartney magic seems to shine, and this biography of him is both an interesting read and a privileged look behind the tall walls that he has built around himself in the last several decades. Given the crazed attack that fellow Beatle George Harrison suffered from a deluded fan, perhaps his concern about privacy and protection are all too well advised. Enjoy! Review: A Very Good Read About a Very Great Musician - This is a very good, very in-depth view of the life of Paul McCartney, up through the mid-nineties. It was written by Barry Miles, one of several who knew Paul very well, but was also a writer and involved with the Indica Shop in London as was Paul in his early years. This biography chronicles Paul's life from the beginning and is well written and informative. The perspectives and data given are not fiction, or somebody's crazy notions of a famous individual's life. I'm almost done with it, and I have found it very interesting. It's probably a book I will re-read in the future. There is some mention of The Beatles included here and there, naturally, but it is not a book about The Beatles. This is an excellent story of one man's life who happened to be the bass player for The Beatles. Relationships between Paul and the other members of that band are explored a little, but if that's what you're looking for, you won't find much of it here. This is Paul McCartney's story, with numerous quotes from him on his life and perspectives, and why he got involved with the things he did throughout his life, as any good biography should do. I feel it's a well done, honest portrayal, and I'm glad I bought it and read it. If you have any interest in this one-time member of the most famous rock band in history, and what his life was like up through his 50's, then this is a good book I highly recommend. You may be surprised to learn some little known, or at least little publicized, facts of his life. I've always felt this man was especially gifted musically. His talents combined with those of the other three lads from Liverpool is what made The Beatles such an incredible band during an incredible decade.This book reaffirms that belief and reveals in Paul's own words just how some of the ideas for many of his songs came to him. It's a keeper. Buy it and read it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #138,873 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #118 in Popular Music (Books) #358 in Rock Music (Books) #376 in Rock Band Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (356) | | Dimensions | 6.2 x 1.2 x 9.2 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 0805052496 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0805052497 | | Item Weight | 1.45 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 696 pages | | Publication date | October 15, 1998 | | Publisher | Holt Paperbacks | ## Images ![Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71g-MRrD5LL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrific Look Over The Wall Into McCartney's Private World! *by B***K on January 29, 2001* Those of us who grew up watching the evolution of the Beatles and Paul McCartney will find this authoritative biography written by longtime friend Barry Miles a thought-provoking and interesting glimpse into many aspects of McCartney's otherwise quite private and personal life story.
