Peter is a staunch advocate of solo hiking, but I’ve never attempted anything longer than half a day. Fans of solo hiking speak of an immense peace and freedom that comes with hiking alone. ...
In a cover story in the UK magazine Uncut, Paul McCartney admitted “Sometimes I wish I was a bit more like Bob Dylan…He’s legendary… and doesn’t give a shit!” McCartney, however, admits, “I’m not like that.” NME reports that during an interview centered on the making of his new solo album, McCartney III, the Beatles bassist said, “I always like what [Dylan] does.
