Paul McCartney is finally ready to write his memoirs, and will use music - and a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet - to help guide him. "The one thing I’ve always managed to do, whether at home or on the road, is to write new songs. Publishers have long sought a McCartney memoir, even though he has spoken often about the past and has participated in such projects as Barry Miles' biography Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now, and the 1990s documentary and book The Beatles Anthology. The Rolling Stones' Keith Richards has been equally open about himself, but his 2010 memoir Life still sold millions of copies. He even mentioned McCartney in a poem Sideman: "I’ll be McCartney to your Lennon/ Lenin to your Marx/ Jerry to your Ben &/ Lewis to your Clark".
