If Sir Paul Mac, who has a mildly eccentric new elpee out “rite” now, had not gone on to become unfathomably famous, successful, and rightly revered as one of the true immortals of all music, then perhaps he would have been as wildly eccentric as some of those he championed. McCartney (1970) has a properly eccentric core that only perhaps a self-preservation instinct towards fame has tempered. Think – one third of his solo output is dedicated to whimsical doodles (McCartney, McCartney II, half of Wild Life, half of Ram etc). Had Fabness not intervened, Paul’s life and career may have been more akin to some of his proteges: the Bonzos, Ivor Cutler, and the subject of this column’s all-too-brief forage, Bruce Lacey.
