Sinossi
Degli anni Sessanta si dice che chi li ricorda non li ha vissuti davvero. Pattie Boyd li ricorda eccome, ma nessuno più di lei si può dire che li abbia vissuti. In tutta la loro intensità, al fianco di due tra i suoi protagonisti più geniali: George Harrison ed Eric Clapton. Amici accomunati e mai divisi dalla passione bruciante per la musica e per Pattie, per la quale scriveranno capolavori senza tempo come "Something", "Layla" e "Wonderful tonight". "Wonderful today" è il racconto idelle passioni e delle sofferenze che hanno segnato un dei triangoli amorosi più straordinari della storia del rock. Pattie porta il lettore in casa Harrison e Clapton, e racconta gli eccessi di una stagione creativa e libera come mai, che però presenterà un conto salatissimo da pagare. Sullo sfondo, il Kenya, i Beatles, i Rolling Stones e naturalmente la sua carriera di top model al fianco delle grandi del secolo, in un lungo percorso di redenzione attraverso la fotografia, compagna di una vita, da una parte e dall'altra dell'obiettivo. Con un inserto fotografico di 32 pagine.

3.5 Stars I typically only read and review romance and SMUT. Duh. But if I'm reading any other genre, it's usually Biography, namely those related to sports and musicians. Pattie Boyd, an English model, was the wife of two of the best musicians of all time: George Harrison of the Beatles and Eric Cla Leggi tutto
She's the only woman to have two superstars write songs to her, and in her prime, her intoxicating beauty was that of a sexual siren driving men's souls to the rocks in pure passion. Her new book "Wonderful Today" is a biography that seems to want to tell all, and indeed sheds light on this wonderf
Hmm. Ok, here's the problem with this book (and there are quite a few): Patti Boyd isn't a particularly good writer. Her stories are a bit scattered, and they don't have overarching themes to make them memorable. She just sticks in small tidbits that she remembers in random places. Part of this is d Leggi tutto
I'm surprised how harsh people feel they need to be regarding this memoir. In all I found the writing to be easy to follow and interesting. We asked her to tell her story, and this is it, and while it left me wanting more, it was tasteful and told with affection and minimal criticism of many difficu Leggi tutto
An emotionless recounting of parties, people met, trips taken, and life events. I'll save you the trouble of slogging through the book: 1) Patti didn't have a happy childhood. 2) She became a model. 3) She met and married George Harrison. 4) He became addicted to meditation. 5) She was wooed by Eric Clapt Leggi tutto
Gee, I wouldn't have left George Harrison for Eric Clapton, even if he did win the "guitar duel" for me. :) And, wow, Pattie Boyd had great shoes. Seriously, once I recovered from the realization that this wasn't a kiss-n-tell (damn!) (insert Slowhand jokes here), I have come to see Pattie's story as Leggi tutto
That’s Pattie with an “e”, weird considering for years her name was spelled Patti, but okay. “Wonderful Tonight” is a cool book written by the only living OG Beatle Wife, so it’s major. In this book I learned the following gossipy tidbits: 1. Brian Epstein was a surrogate father to The Beatles, so mu Leggi tutto
It's difficult to rate a biography like this, simply because Pattie Boyd isn't a writer, and though she had help, it's more about her stories--and not simply the whole, but the components of the whole. She's had an interesting life...and, after spending my more formative years longing and wishing to Leggi tutto
