![]() ![]() And I only knew of Small Faces and Faces - I was completely unfamiliar with their music. ![]() I went into the book knowing literally nothing about Ian "Mac" McLagan. I guess I will take a break before I move onto a book on Ronnie Lane. ![]() However the chapter that had me laughing out loud on the train was the one about touring Italy with Bob Dylan. It's pretty clear that Mac, being on the slightly introverted scale, found Steve Marriott to be exhausting to be around as he never slept and was always the first to laugh at his own jokes (and this from someone who found Keith Moon's company to be enjoyable!)Īside from the Small Faces and the Faces, McLagan played with almost everyone including the Rolling Stones. ![]() I am impressed that McLagan seems to have written this mostly on his own which is why it does not sound like an "as told to" biography in the way that Kenny Jones' bio did. It was certainly time to rectify the situation which is kind of the beauty of eReaders (instant gratification). And it is amazing that I made it this long without knowing as much about the Small Faces as I do about say.the Beatles or the Stones, since I do kind of view them as being in almost the same league. I guess this is the third Britpop/music related book in a row. ![]()
