Trecho da matéria do NYT do dia 30 de dezembro:
"The stories here are amusing, with some minor revelations. Wood boasts of a fling with George Harrison’s wife Pattie Boyd before she ran off with Eric Clapton. He once emptied Tony Curtis’s wine cellar, has had to remind Jagger and Richards how to play songs they wrote, and was first considered for membership in the Stones in 1969. In a dubious recollection that contradicts the historical record, Wood says he was asked to join Led Zeppelin before Jimmy Page. (Page instigated the band’s creation.) Otherwise, considering the understandably blurred memories of his lengthy fast-lane life, Wood seems to have a detailed and realistic grip on names, events and places. There is one serious omission — the death of his first wife — and a few misapprehensions and typos, but the story feels truthful and carefully observed, which makes it a valuable addition to Stones lore."
