Current Paul McCartney news thread (interviews, articles, miscellaneous)

@mikecarrera I suppose this is not in relation with the rumoured McCartney III album, is it ?

 

The pics are watermarked with Mike's name. Guess the video (if the pics are sourced by that) wasn't released yet.

 

Thanks Mike. Love the stills including the one you have as your avatar. Macca is such a cool dude.

She slapped my face...

 

Sean Lennon Reflects on 10 John Lennon Solo Classics

“How Do You Sleep?” (Imagine, 1971)

When I interviewed Paul, obviously I didn’t bring up that song. I don’t want to offend him, it’s as simple as that. A funny story is that one of the first times I ever got to hang out with Paul when I was young — I think I was 12 or 13 — one of the first times I ever actually spoke to him for more than just a hi or a handshake … I was very precocious as some teenagers can be. I really regret saying this, but I said something like, “What do you think of ‘How Do You Sleep?'” With this crazy, maniacal grin, because I’d always loved that song musically. And still to this day, it blows my mind. It’s funky, it’s groovy, it’s sexy. George Harrison’s solo is incredible. I just regret saying that. I was like, “The lyrics might have been mean, or whatever, but isn’t it musically a great song?” And looking back, I just feel like, “Why did you say that?” It was, like, the one thing you shouldn’t say. But he was very nice about it.

I still worry about talking about this song because I don’t want him to think that I’m trying to be provocative. I don’t know what their personal disagreement was exactly. I know that my dad thought “Too Many People,” the song on Ram, was sort of like a dig at my mom and dad. And so “How Do You Sleep?” was the rap-battle answer. They were inventing the Ja Rule–50 Cent kind of beef. It’s very scathing. It’s very intense. The lyrics are very mean. But my dad famously said — and I don’t know if this was just him being Politician John — but he did say, like, “Well, the end, it’s always about me. And I realized that I was criticizing myself.”​

 

You should've told her, she was your 'NON-LP' b-side!!!

 

Still less than a seaside.

 

She should have told you “you’re cassingle now”.

 

Better than telling her you're gonna give her your '3" CD-Single'!

 

Yeah but wait till she hears the extended version.

 

I'm expecting the Graham Chapman meme any moment now.

 

That was after he spanked her on her B-side.

 

Did she slap you again - when you turned the other cheek - at 45RPM’s?

 

They got married on John's birthday..?

 

Yes, something rare and to be treasured...

... until it is added to the CD as a bonus track...

 

Yes. And this way, Paul won't forget the date.. .

 

Did anyone catch the McCartney interview yesterday with Alec Baldwin on the Beatles channel? How long was the interview and is there perhaps somewhere non Sirius subscribers can hear it?

 

I did hear it, it was alright. Covered some of the same ground that the Sean BBC interview covered.

But this interview is Sirius XM exclusive. As well as several scheduled replays, I Believe it Will be on demand for a bit as well

I believe the show was an hour but they also played songs in between

 

I wouldn’t be surprised if it would be available by “non official” sources at some point
