MAN ON THE RUN: PAUL MCCARTNEY IN THE 1970S

Book ID/图书代码: 11978512B54651

English Summary/英文概要: ‘I was such a daring young thing. We were on this wacky adventure.’ Paul McCartney

The most famous living rock musician on the planet, Paul McCartney is now regarded as an (inter)national treasure.

Back in the 1970s, however, McCartney cut a very different figure, one attempting to escape the shadow of The Beatles, the band that changed everything.

During the period, McCartney effectively became a renegade hippy rock star, hiding out in the mists surrounding his Scottish farmhouse, before travelling the world with various makeshift line-ups of Wings and his ever-present family. It was a time of drug busts and brilliant, banned and sometimes baffling records. For McCartney, it was an edgy, liberating, sometimes frightening period of his life that has largely been overlooked, along with the fact that he was a cool, counter-cultural character.

Man on the Run paints an illuminating picture of a household name, from his post-Beatles low at the beginning of the 1970s, through his apparent victimisation by the authorities the world over, to albums recorded in trying circumstances, from Lagos to New Orleans to the Virgin Islands, the rude awakening of his imprisonment for marijuana possession in Japan in 1980 and finally the horror of John Lennon’s murder.

Ultimately, it poses the question: if you were one quarter of The Beatles, could you really outrun your past?

Chinese Summary/中文概要: ”我就是这样一个大胆的年轻人。我们都在这个古怪冒险的旅途中“——保罗•麦卡特尼

这个星球上最著名的摇滚音乐家保罗•麦卡特尼,现在被视为国宝。

早在20世纪70年代,麦卡特尼就是一个与众不同的人,他试图逃离出披头士乐队的影子,那个改变一切的乐队。

在和各种临时组队的阵容以及永远与他同在的家庭一起周游世界前,在某一时期,麦卡特尼成为了一个叛离的嬉皮士摇滚明星,躲藏在他的苏格兰农舍周围的迷雾中。这是一个缉毒昌盛,有各种禁令,以及有时会有莫名其妙的记录的时期。对于麦卡特尼,它是解放,前卫,有时会可怕的时期,他的生活已经在很大程度上被忽视了,伴随而来的事实是,他是一个很酷的,反文化的人。

《奔跑的人》为一个家喻户晓的名字描绘了一幅灿烂的画像,从他在20世纪70年代初,在披头士的影子下十分低潮,被全世界的政府所欺骗,到在专辑艰难的情况下,从拉各斯飞往新奥尔良飞往维尔京群岛,并于1980年因藏有大麻被监禁在日本,最后约翰•列侬被恐怖谋杀,他为此感到追悔莫及。

最终,它提出了一个问题:如果你是甲壳虫的一员,你能真正逃脱你的过去吗?(LNL)
