An anecdote from Paul's new book, "Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run."
Via the NME:
Paul McCartney once sent baby poo to a lying journalist to get back at him for writing a scathing review of Wings‘ live show.
...drummer Denny Seiwell revealed how the band got their fair share of negative reviews over the years, including from a journalist who lied about watching one of their shows.
Seiwell recalled how Wings were briefly joined on tour by a writer in the early ‘70s who claimed he wouldn’t be reviewing their show, but rather writing a story about how the members brought their families on tour.
...A week later, however, the members were surprised to see that the writer shared a “full-on review” of the show that he didn’t attend.
“And he slagged it. Everything about it! The way we lived. The way we travelled. The way we sounded,” the drummer said, adding that Paul and Linda came up with an unconventional way to get back at him.
“Stella was a baby at the time. So Paul and Linda took one of those little plastic soap dishes from the hotel we were in and they got one of Stella’s turds, put it in the soap dish, wrapped it up and sent it to him,” he claimed.
“You heard that from me. I don’t care if they want it to be known or not. I thought it was the perfect response to a crude British pressman.”
