1/3 of the way through Volume 2 (1974-1980) of “The McCartney Legacy” and the chapter about McCartney and Wings spending thesummer of 1974 in Nashville is worth the price of the book. Otherwise the coolest reveals so far: McCartney and Lennon talked and hung out a lot during this period;

Which states visit their local libraries the most (or least?) 📚
Wyoming holds the title for top #library visits, with residents averaging 3.82 visits per person in 2022 — the highest in the US!
