Subject: RE: 2007 Ewan MacColl Bio - Class Act
"totally ignored"
Virtually all of how we described MacColl was totally ignored by the author presenting a totally different individual to the one we described (from personal, face to face experience)
Thanks for the clarification.
However, I think it is fair to say that the author interviewed a lot of people and that not everybody had the same opinion.
Some people had issues with both Peggy Seeger and Ewan MacColl. I think that the author did right to bring this out, and I think he does balance the different views. I think as I said before that this is what makes it a good book. Not only that, he gives plenty of references so that people can follow up what he says and check it through.
I think it is one of the most interesting biographies that I have read.
