Primera biografía (autorizada) de Manu Chao, compuesta a la carrera por quien tuvo el raro privilegio de acompañarlo en sus azarosas giras por medio mundo. Durante la mayor parte de un lustro, el escritor, compositor, crítico y periodista británico Peter Culshaw tuvo el raro privilegio (pues a ningún otro cronista le ha sido concedida tal gracia) de acompañar a Manu Chao en su periplo por medio mundo desde el corazón del África sahariana a buena parte de las Américas y, de vuelta ya en el viejo mundo, de Finisterre a los Urales con el empeño de cantar sus gestas.

I Probably Shouldn't Have Done That chronicles the series of vast, at times incomprehensible, mistakes that Jules makes in an attempt to get over her first "serious" boyfriend. It follows her through drunken nights, drunker nights, bad dates, worse dates, encounters with her ex, and a very few glistening moments of hope and self-realization. It is a thoroughly sad break-up story, an occasionally naive love story, and a comical train wreck throughout.
