I just watched this last week and thought I posted a review, but apparently did not. I thought it was OK, but covered the part of Sir Paul's career that annoyed me while growing up: Silly Love Songs, etc just brings back memories of becoming an awkward teen.
I noticed, right at the beginning, when they cover the Beatles break up and Paul fleeing to his farm, they show the Life magazine with Paul's pic, with family on the cover, right next to the Camel Moonmadness album. That album came out in 1976, so it's much later than the Life magazine cover. No context, no mention of it...just weird. Maybe a vague reference to the moon landing which was more contemporary with the Beatles' demise.

I'm more curious about Linda now. I didn't appreciate her in Wings, but she seems to be a pretty tough, interesting person. She also did her own styling. I wonder if Bowie's Ziggy took inspiration from her, or vice-versa. Then Paul had the same hair...borderline mullets. What an awful time to be alive.

PS: In other news, we're having a 50th anniversary event at the fruit factory HQ next Tues. due to capacity issues, entry is based on a lottery. I just got the invite, so I get to go and they just announced the musical guest: Sir Paul!
