He's touching a bit on it in the recent "Man On The Run" documentary

This is great work ! Thanks !

Amazon decided to translate the title of "Man On The Run" into "Paul McCartney déploie ses ailes" / "Paul McCartney spreads his wings" in French.

Thank you for the video !

WOW! Always something new to discover www.bfi.org.uk/inside-the-a...
