... cause it aint nothin' in between.
Reading the reviews on Amazon, it's either a hateful diatribe against someone the author was best pals with for 25 years until they had a major falling out...
.. or it's a fairminded review of 'the man', his good points and his flaws..
I don't know, but every time I sneak a peek in Wattersons, it reads well. I don't need my 'idols' to be anything other than human, and if I saw him in the street, I would have not one iota of wanting to shake his hand etc... (Actually, I did once, in Woking. A month or so later in an article, he mentioned going back to Woking for the first time in a long time. He mentioned the shopping centre we were walking through at the time, funnily enough)
Any road, the upshot is that apparently PWeller is not too pleased about this book. There is another one called "My Life with Paul Weller" which is about the (different) author's childhood/growing up, and his 'relationship' with the pop star that was PWell. Is that the sort of thing he's more comfortable with? It would seem so, it has a positive quote about it from the man himself on the front.

Not quite sure why the name Alastair Campbell springs to mind...
Forthcoming: Revolution In The Head-style track-by-track analysis of all Weller's recorded works by Gary Crowley - to be entitled The Modfather's King Size Boss Waxings.
