![]() ![]() The book does have some sharp insights about Trump’s mental deficiencies. ![]() Insecurity assails this hollow man, who even resents the fact that his adolescent son is about to overtake him in height Despite the indiscreet tattle dribbled into his ear by the disgruntled Steve Bannon, Wolff has no idea what arcane surgical procedure (or impasse in nuptial negotiations?) kept Melania in hospital for a week last summer, let alone how Putin managed to reduce Trump to the status of a brutalised cur during their confidential colloquy in Helsinki.

He's not just talking about the band's set list, he's talking about the lighting guys, the sound guys - every single list in the building." Young's longtime cohort and producer, the late David Briggs, said, "It's not fun at all working for Neil - fun's not part of the deal - but it's very fulfilling." "Neil's come to me," Sterne tells McDonough, "and said, 'Go get all the set lists and throw 'em in the trash can' - and he said this to me fifteen minutes before the show. Tour manager Bob Sterne should get a bucketful of those medals. What Young does share with those two, however, is icon status, and after reading McDonough's staggeringly thorough examination of the arch-rocker's life and work, you're convinced he's earned it - while the people who've orbited around him during his long and tempestuous career all deserve Purple Hearts, several dozen of them each, and a nice quiet place to spend their sunset years. At 786 pages it's longer than "Mandela: The Authorized Biography," by Anthony Simpson or "Mao: A Life," by Philip Short, but then neither Mandela nor Mao played guitar worth a damn.
