As a young man in Glasgow''s underworld, Ian ''Blink'' MacDonald earned a reputation for fighting and stabbing his enemies. After refusing to work for Arthur "The Godfather" Thompson, he tried to steal £6 million in a high-risk armed bank robbery. While serving 16 years, Blink met the torture-gang boss Eddie Richardson, the serial killer Archie Hall, notorious lifer Charles Bronson and members of the Krays. After his release, his drug-fuelled violent lifestyle created conflict with the police and rival gangsters. Rearrested several times, he was the target of a gruesome assassination attempt. During filming for Danny Dyer''s Deadliest Men, a bomb was discovered under Blink''s car and the terrified camera-crew members fled from Scotland.

Accueilli par des éloges unanimes dans son édition d''origine en langue anglaise, Revolution in the Head nous replonge dans ce qui constitue le coeur de l''héritage des Beatles : leurs disques. Dans cet ouvrage aussi ambitieux que captivant, reconnu d''ores et déjà comme une référence absolue en matière d''analyse critique de la musique populaire, les chansons inoubliables des Beatles sont une présence à la fois centrale et constamment surprenante. Fort d''une connaissance intime de l''oeuvre du groupe, mais aussi de son arrière-plan culturel et historique, lan MacDonald nous aide à décrypter chacun des quelque 241 morceaux que compte la discographie des Beatles — dans l''ordre chronologique, des tout premiers enregistrements amateurs de 1957 aux deux chansons de la " reformation " de 1994-1995, sans oublier les nombreux inédits publiés dans le Live At The BBC et les trois volumes de la série Anthology.Aussi éblouissants que cette décennie qu''ils auront marquée de leur empreinte, les Beatles ont inventé, à eux seuls ou presque, la pop music telle que nous la connaissons. Leurs chansons sont, aujourd''hui encore, revendiquées comme une influence fondatrice par les groupes et chanteurs les plus en vue.
