""We take him along to the sound check. We let him backstage. We let him on the bus. We let him see how we live and all that. He didn't stay for the concert. He flew home. Imagine the surprise among McCartney and Wings when that same hack wrote a live review of the concert he missed. And not just any review: a scathing pan.""
""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," Seiwell 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.""
A journalist who had pitched a story about Wings' family life on tour was allowed to attend sound checks, go backstage, and ride the band's bus but did not stay for the concert and flew home. The journalist then published a scathing live review of the concert he had missed. Paul and Linda McCartney responded by placing one of baby Stella's feces into a plastic hotel soap dish, wrapping it, and sending it to the journalist. The act was portrayed as a deliberate and personal rebuke to a harsh British pressman. The account remains associated with Wings' early 1970s touring life.
