## Resource

Tom Doyle digs into the remarkable, and surprisingly chaotic, story of Paul McCartney’s post-Beatles decade. Tom’s book Man on the Run , reissued to coincide with the official documentary of the same name, charts McCartney’s journey from 1969 to 1981: from morning drinking on a Scottish farm to headlining Madison Square Garden. Tom covers Linda’s role in keeping Paul from the brink, the brotherly war-and-reconciliation with John Lennon, the near-collaboration that almost happened in New Orleans in 1975, Denny Laine’s loyal lieutenancy, the extraordinary circumstances behind Band on the Run , the rise and fall of Wings, and the moment John Lennon’s murder brought the freewheeling seventies era to a sudden stop. Further information Man on the Run and Ringo: A Fab Life by Tom Doyle are available now. ( Ringo: A Fab Life , US release May 2026). Podcasts also available: Denny Seiwell , Howie Casey – Paul McCartney and Wings , Mike McCartney’s Early Liverpool , Eric Stewart – 10cc/Paul McCartney, solo , Dave Mattacks This podcast is also available on  Apple Podcasts ,  Spotify ,  YouTube , Google apps and all usual platforms If you like what I do  please support me on Ko-fi The post Man on the Run: Paul McCartney in the 1970s appeared first on The Strange Brew .
