The most famous living rock musician on the planet, Paul Mc Cartney is now regarded as a slightly cosy figure, an (inter)national treasure. Back in the 1970s, however, Mc Cartney cut a very different figure. He was, literally, a man on the run. Desperately trying to escape the shadow of the Beatles, he became an outlaw hippy millionaire, hiding out on his Scottish farmhouse in Kintyre before travelling the world with makeshift bands & barefoot children. It was a time of numerous drug busts & brilliant, banned & occasionally baffling records. For Mc Cartney, it was an edgy, liberating & sometimes frightening period of his life that has largely been forgotten. Man on the Run paints an illuminating picture: from Mc Cartney's nervous breakdown following the Beatles' split through his apparent victimisation by the authorities to the rude awakening of his imprisonment for marijuana possession in Japan in 1980 & the shocking wake-up call of John Lennon's murder. Ultimately, it poses the question: if you were one quarter of the Beatles, could you really outrun your past? ...
