"I actually asked Glyn to produce one of my records in the '80s, and he was quite brutal," McLagan recalls. "He listened to all the songs and said, 'There are songs there in that?' I said, 'Oh, very unkind.' But he is brutally honest and fair. I actually sent him an album I made a couple of years, three or four years ago, because we were talking at different times because of the book, and never got a comment. He obviously hated it. I still keep sending them to him, so fuck it. One day he'll like one."
