Fascinating story at this point Paul Kelly living in the shared house and constantly taking in the business of show business. Have to smile at his muso mates who are a bit mystified as to the size and types of books he reads.
His star is starting to shine, his songs are different to pop rock templates and he only wants to sing his own songs.
The legend is mid apprentice ship.

The book is nearly finished.
It is well written by Stuart Coupe. His having been an important influence in Paul Kelly’s life in his careers infancy and then to publish this book in 2020 taking the reader through the evolution of Paul Kelly the singer songwriter poet and person it is a thank you from this reader. So much content so well covered.

The book gets better as the story progresses.
Enjoyable read. An endearingly complicated icon of Aus music and his story is like a spiritual experience as are his concerts. There is an edge to each page and Paul Kelly does not fall over although he pivots.

The book is a 4 star read at this point.

Interesting book. Stuart Coupe an accomplished author and Paul Kelly an interesting subject. That’s a good combination.
Am enjoying the nitty gritty early life of muso’s in Melbourne in the 1970’s at this stage of the book.
