This book was available at my local library when I was a teenager in the 90s. I must have read it about five times. It was my favorite book about the Beatles. ( ) Peter Brown was a Beatles associate dating back from Liverpool days and here he dishes the dirt - lots of sex, drugs and rock 'n roll (gee, maybe Paul is not my intended after all, though he does come off as far less debauched than John). Published in 1983, the book begins with Cynthia Lennon returning from a 1968 trip to find Yoko in her house, and ends with John's murder (with flashbacks to earlier times in between). According to Lennon, Peter Brown "came to the party late," at the tail end of Apple, and was one who took three hour lunches, and was pissed when The Beatles broke up because it ended the "gravy train". It is especially telling that these "kiss-and-tells" were all published AFTER Lennon was murdered -- when he could not answer back. Much more worthy are Shout!, by Philip Norman, and the authorized The Beatles, by Hunter Davies. Author, P Brown; of Apple Corp. John and Yoko's best man; but not easy on John. Like newspaper reporting; but apparently accurate, "inside story" of private lives. Introduction re: title : "The last lyric in the last song on the last Beatles' album" : ("And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.") Good quotes at chapter headings. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Here is the national bestseller that Newsday called "the most authoritative and candid look yet at the personal lives...of the oft-scrutinized group." In The Love You Make, Peter Brown, a close friend of and business manager for the band--and the best man at John and Yoko's wedding--presents a complete look at the dramatic offstage odyssey of the four lads from Liverpool who established the greatest music phenomenon of the twentieth century. Written with the full cooperation of each of the group's members and their intimates, this book tells the inside story of the music and the madness, the feuds and the drugs, the marriages and the affairs--from the greatest heights to the self-destructive depths of the Fab Four. In-depth and definitive, The Love You Make is an astonishing account of four men who transformed the way a whole generation of young people thought and lived. It reigns as the most comprehensive, revealing biography available of John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Includes 32 pages of rare and revealing photos A Literary Guild® Alternate Selection Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
