This book describes the inner turmoils of Bob Wooler and you follow his thoughts as the Mersey Beat scene develops in the 1960s. The book is packed with his 'Woolerisms', both old and new, and at last we find out what happened when John Lennon beat him up at Paul McCartney's twenty-first birthday party. As well as drawing on his many exhaustive (and exhausting!) interviews with Bob Wooler, Spencer Leigh has spoken with many of his friend and acquaintances.
