Takes me back to my slog through Tilbury's biog at the start of the year, I must pick it up again.

i close-read a few sections for that "sound matters" catalogue piece and speedread the rest: i was actually constantly torn between "dude NO ONE needs to know this much abt xxx" and "i feel there is actually more to say here on this topic" (ie that someone not so caught up in and basically sympathetic to a lot of CC's odder stances might have a sharper perspective?)

i'm still glad the JT biog exists but blimey

Agree with all of that. JT not only sympathetic to CC's later wrongness but complicit in, of course.
