No better birthday present for Ringo than having a book about him being given the Tom Doyle/Pete Selby/New Modern treatment.

Current reading (out end of August): Wasn't sure - it's a tour diary after all - but this is great. Sad, honest, really funny. & exemplary use of the C word on multiple occasions. From now on I will always think of piranhas in an aquarium as a "tank of c**ts" @newmodernbooks.bsky.social
