It turns out that Patti Boyd is all over the media at the moment - passed me by completely - as her autobiography (written with the 'help' of Penny Junor . . .) is being published on August 23. Well whaddya know?
Needless to say, it has been serialised in the Daily Mail http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_id=473174&in_page_id=1879 and it's full of titbits about George, John, Paul, Ringo, Eric, Ronnie, Pete etc etc and who slept with whose wives - or husbands - and when. Maybe it's in the sub-editing but it's very much of the 'and then he did something awful and then I did something awful and then someone else did something awful and we were all stoned or drunk most of the time'. If they weren't all famous or dead or both, it would be a bit of a boring read. Still, I mention it here in case you like this sort of thing. To be honest, George Harrison was always my favourite Beatle (you had to have a favourite) and I felt like I shouldn't be reading this stuff; another bit of the magic evaporates before my eyes. Rock stars are human beings too, just like us. Discuss.
And, no, I'm not posting any more pics of '60s rock chick icons, either the way they were or 40+ years and a touch of Botox later. Far too depressing.
