You might think the price tag means it’s aimed at the Christmas stockings of lifers like me. In fact it’s more likely to be picked up and pored over by that army of forty- and fiftysomethings who these days are Paul’s children. They don’t actually remember the Beatles but they can’t imagine a world without Paul McCartney. For them, the book’s absence of chronology will not be an impediment. For them, those thumbs remain aloft for a higher purpose. It’s why he’s here. From his first song, I Lost My Little Girl, which he wrote at the age of 14 after the death of his mother, to whatever he happens to be chipping away at just as you’re reading this, he’ll still be trying to take a sad song and make it better. It’s an honourable calling.
