  What is with that crazy guitar riff on Layla and why does it evoke cheating with your friend's wife? It's positively crazy-making.

  Further, please explain the odd breakdown towards the end of the song.

  This tune always baffled me.

  Good Lord! What a terrible guest Pattie Boyd

  was. Like pulling teeth to get her to elaborate on her life. You certainly did

  your best, but what a pill. If she

  didn't want to discuss her life, why did

  she agree to go on your show.

  Love your show, though.

  couldnt agree more, Mary Jane.

  "vapid model type" is an cliched but apt description of this guest.

  how on EARTH did that woman inspire three devoted love songs?

  I don't get it.

  Miss or Ms:If you knew ANYTHING about her or the story of George, Eric or Pattie you wouldnt be asking yourself that question or talking from ignorance as you obviously are.Bit of advice in life for you:You gotta learn something before you talk about it.

  On the contrary, Pattie Boyd does indeed elaborate on her life, albeit in a classy understated, British manner. This woman shows far greater grace and character than her two husbands, both of whom eventually neglected, abused, and cheated on her. I applaud Pattie for describing her life with these two talented but flawed musicians in far kinder words than either man deserves.

  I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with Pattie and found her to be the most nicest, gracious person one could ever meet. I applaud her for her story and sharing it with us by writing her book and photos after remaining silent for 40 years. It's unfair to judge her life negatively. Most of us don't experience what she has experienced and to survive it as well let alone make peace with all the memories and move on with her life.

  I have always admired Pattie and she has led a very interesting life. She has taken great care not to hurt any of the people she writes about in her book,and since Eric will have a book out soon she is not taking advantage of their relationship but simply telling her story in her own words.

  I don't know about being a "pill" but Ms. Boyd has one the sexiest voices I have ever heard. Now I understand better the reasons for songs like "Something" and "Layla".

  Pattie seems to be a very lovely, sweet woman. It must be wonderful to have 3 songs written about you; she certainly is a special person. I wonder if this is a Guiness Book of Records item to have 3 songs written about you? I would be honored if I ever get to meet Pattie! Thanks for sharing your life with the world!

  I enjoyed the interview - it brought back many memories. It seemed to me that this might have been the first or one of the first American interviews Pattie Boyd may have had since her book came out. It sounded like she was surprised at some of Leonard's questions. I read somewhere that Pattie had seen George later on in life, and he had admitted to her that he had been a sh_ _ to her and didn't blame her for walking out. Thanks for this interview - I think both interviewer and interviewee did very well.

  Be fair please. Lenny asked some very good but emotionally difficult questions for anyone to answer. I think Patty conducted herself well. Sounds like aninteresting book.

  Well she has a wonderful voice herself....and that face was an iconic 60's look. But she was basically used and abused by the men in her life. They were complete addicts and basically bizarre in their behavior and I suppose it is difficult to sit in a broadcast booth and be grilled about these events. In fact she is probably a fairly quiet person and interviews are tough to handle. She did just fine.
