If you have read Paul McCartney's biography, you see what happens when someone tries to include EVERYTHING.<BR/><BR/>I'd also recommend Ronnie Wood's bio, Ronnie, if you are into this kind of bio.<BR/><BR/>I wrote a review of "Clapton" at my blog at http://isorski.blogspot.com/.

I don't know how kind Pattie was toward Eric--she pretty much spelled out all his cheating and alcoholism. Seems she is still trying to make excuses for him, though.<BR/><BR/>He was obsessed with her until he had her. When he lost her, he became obsessed again. And she kept falling into the trap and going back.<BR/><BR/>Pattie's Beatles stuff was interesting, to see it from her POV, but there was nothing new there.Donald Caponehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16903164976265954815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12830105.post-73802176048928737542008-01-26T19:51:00.000-08:002008-01-26T19:51:00.000-08:00I've always been fascinated with both Clapton and ...I've always been fascinated with both Clapton and Harrison. And I did read Patti Boyd's bio (while recuperating from surgery just after Christmas). She was fairly kind.<BR/><BR/>Then again, I suppose if I'd had Layla and Something written for me, I'd be kind.Maryanne Stahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12461617567840191096noreply@blogger.com
