    George was the only Beatle to grow up with both parents. Paul’s mum died of cancer when he was in his early teens. Ringo’s dad left when he was quite young & so did john’s father.

    I met Paul McCartney and Linda Eastman at Billboard Magazine in 1972. My uncle Peter was director of advertising for Billboard Magazine. Paul and Linda were there to sign the advertising agreement for their new album by Wings that had the soundtrack for the 007 movie Live and Let Die. The contract wasn't ready and after Peter introduced me to Paul and Linda he asks if the three of us could keep each other company well he goes down the hall for about 15 minutes. We said sure. I said to Paul "I can't believe it's you and you're actually here" Paul responded "everybody has to be somewhere." We all laughed because it's true. Paul started showing me the album. He said he was really glad to have it. I asked him why. He said he needed the work. I said why? He answered because I need the money. I said you are a a Beatle. He said ""That was in the sixties and living as a Beatle was very expensive. Money has a way of running in one side of your life and out the other. This is the first real work I've had since I was a Beatle." The way Paul said it sounded like it was a part he had in the sitcom a decade ago. It was 1972. I turn to Linda Eastman and I asked her if she was related to Eastman Kodak. She said no everybody always asks that. I said I'm sorry. Linda said " and then they apologize." Feeling kind of awkward I suggested that we just enjoy each other's company and look out the window. From the top of 9000 Sunset you can see a lot of LA. I said it looks like somebody went crazy with concrete and asphalt as far as you can see. Paul said completely crazy. I said it's like an ocean of asphalt and concrete. Linda chimed in " like an ocean of asphalt and concrete as far as you can see with islands of big building sticking up from it." We continue to enjoy each other's company and comment on the spectacle of LA. My uncle came back with the contract and Paul signed the contract. Later that day riding home from billboard magazine my uncle asked me how I liked Paul and Linda. I said they seemed like regular people to me. My uncle said "They are regular people with exceptional jobs." I was thirteen at the time Paul and Linda were very nice to me. They treated me like an adult. Thank you Paul I haven't forgotten.

    I'm in my 40's but when I was at primary school a female teacher pushed me up against a pebble-dashed wall and cut my face (for a minor infraction). When my mum collected me from school she saw it and asked how it happened. When I told her, she marched right into the office and told the teacher if she ever laid a hand on me again, she'd be picking up her teeth from the floor. What shocked me most was that mum had never shown a hint of aggression before, but this obviously touched a nerve with her. Never forgot that day.

    When seeing how children in schools today are capable of basically being tiny terrorists when they realize that the teacher has no real way of imposing truly fearful sanctions on them when they misbehave, I feel torn about whether such harsh methods should be implemented again. I went to school long after disciplining kids using violent and painful methods was outlawed, but looking back at my class, a lot of us could probably have benefitted from something harsher than just a stern talking to, which quickly came to be considered something of a non-threat once we realized that this was the range of teachers' sanctioning options. Bad behavior needs to be caught early on to avoid it becoming an integral part of someone's character. Sadly, close to half my class in their adult lives have done time behind bars, probably because a lot of their actions have had no real consequences in their formative years... or later on, for that matter. Now, I'm not talking about giving teachers the right to smack kids around willy-nilly whenever they feel like it. But I *am* talking about giving teachers some tools to instill both respect, mixed with a smidge dose of fear, to keep kids on the right path and keep them from doing all the things.

    Corporal punishment, was a formal reprimand for English secondary/grammar school children (aged 11 to 16) until 1987 (when it was banned). Teachers would cane (which was a piece of cane that struck the hand or backside) or slipper (which was usually a gym plimsoll which struck the backside) the child. It was all documented in the child's record (or supposed to be). If you were struck by the cane you were canned and if struck by the slipper, slippered.

    One in a million he (George's dad) was. Most parents then and in the 60's wouldn't believe their kids...that's why it took years for it to come out of all the sexual and physical abuse in Christian and state schools...kids would not have been believed back then.

    Georrge was the only Beatle with a "normal" family background. Lennon lived with his Aunt Mimi, Paul's mother died when he was still at school, and RIngo was raised by his mum, who really struggled at times. Back then it was probably very unusual for parents to be so supportive of their child's desire to pursue a career in music.George's mum and dad were way ahead of the curve.

Apparently the first time Dhani realised his dad was quite cool. You can understand where he got it from now.

After the Beatles released several successful recordings, while at the dinner table one evening, George flashed a million pound check at his father. "You know, Dad," he said. "I think I've got a real job now " Touche! ( Loved ya, George.)

But you know it's a nice story and it doesn't hurt anyone and in fact makes George's dad look good in Paul's eyes and in everyone's eyes. I can understand the way you feel; Paul can be fairly criticized for his dealings with the other Beatles and George particularly, but they really had all come to terms with each other and were in a good place with each other, maybe apart from George's relationship with John, funnily enough. It's best to let the story sit and enjoy it for what it is, I fell, but I hear and understand your point. A little postscript, my favourite was always George - underrated as a guitarist and songwriter - a beautiful who was loved by everyone and for good reason.

Especially if he was watching tv one night and caught McCartney on Russell Harty telling HIS story like he was actually there. He says right from the start "I remember this time ...." That's not telling someone else's story. That's placing yourself there.

    Any posters saying McCartney only knows this story because of Harrison's book (inferring that he is lying), I doubt that is the case. Paul McCartney and George Harrison first met on a bus while the two were schoolboys. They rode the bus together going to and from the Liverpool Institute High School for Boys and found they shared an interest in music and playing guitars. Harrison recalled, “It was on that bus journey that I met Paul McCartney, because he, being at the same school, had the same uniform and was going the same way as I was so I started hanging out with him.” In this interview, McCartney never says he was in class with George or even that he knew George when it happened, etc. He just told a story that he remembers George got caned once in the school (they had both probably been students at this school or at two different schools, but in the same school district. They were around high school age and going to school together, so they could have talked together about this happening to George when he was younger, or maybe McCartney had heard about it (heard about when he was a student in another school -if some kid's dad punched a teacher -if some student's dad floored a teacher with a punch because his son got caned in my school district where I lived -very likely every kid would hear about it. The dad would be a hero, especially if the teacher was not well liked by students.

    They met on a bus when they were TEENAGERS. Harrison's story in his autobiography states he was 8 or 9 years old when this teacher hit him. That's a difference of at least 5 to 6 years. It also seems you haven't listened to what McCartney states in the above interview, which definitely gives the implication he was witness to it. But if you can't go off of this video, it's been printed OTHER times he's told this story and he definitely places himself there. He even places himself at the dining room table when George's father discovers the injury. He also places himself AT the school when George's father shows up to administer retribution. And it's all incredible that he can because Harrison stated IN HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY that he was no more than 8 or 9 years old when this happened, and he even named the teacher. Why is this so hard for most to comprehend that the man in the above interview is lying. Why? He's lied before, he'll lie again. Unless you want to believe that Paul McCartney, on a JFK runway, with other planes circling around saw from 22 miles away the Twin Towers burning, and could identify them as the Trade Center. Even though he's taxiing on a busy runway, at ground level, 22 miles away from the scene. He has some amazing vision to be able to see past the urban jungle that is New York City. From a passenger window no less.

    DrTomoculus You are the same person who posts hate about McCarttney on videos all over youtube. I said that Harrison and McCartney were on the bus going back and forth from high school. Kids talk about things (like everyone else) that happen in the past, at times). They became close friends. I think it is very likely (and it almost certainly happened) that Harrison mentioned this story to McCartney while they were school mates. You must like to argue. A person who goes on youtube continually criticizing the subject in a video to argue with others has got problems. Get a life. Do yourself a favor and stop clicking on McCartney videos, and just click on George Harrison videos without any references to McCartney. Do something productive with your time instead of continually going on youtube to criticize McCartney and then argue with others on youtube. It is actually pretty comical to see your name all over youtube criticizing McCartney.

    You're still having trouble with the concept of time. And how it relates to The Beatles chronologically speaking. You seem to think it's about hate. I'm pointing out to you merely that this man blatantly lies about portions of his life. But all you have to do is go back to the 60's and see that a lot of The Beatles story is ... mythology. I'm not going to bring you through those countless inconsistencies IN that story, but McCartney telling a Harrison tale and including himself in it when all evidence states he couldn't have been has nothing to do with hate. It has to do with how easily led the populace is, and how angry they get when you tell them "you're being duped." No one likes the messenger. Tell me something new. Whether Harrison mentioned the story to McCartney or not later on is irrelevant. It's almost like a fantasy you're having resolving conflicting data. Which makes it almost delusional. Harrison's story was in print as long ago as 1980. Whether he told McCartney or his Auntie is irrelevant. His story states he was 8 or 9 years old. This makes McCartney's appearance in the event ... void. If it's not this interview, just go and find the other times he's told this story where he does place himself in the circumstances. And he can't, because they'r enot attending the same school nor knew eachother when this incident took place. Here's another little quest. The Moped Accident of December 1965. Try and find me where the picture was first printed of McCartney's "injuries." I've been asking people for 6 years where that image comes from, who took it, where it first appeared, but that's how society it is. Someone shows them a picture, or tells a story, and they blindly accept it and carry on. Never questioning a goddamn thing, then get all antsy when the world looks wrong and people get mistreated in it. THAT'S comical. My postings illustrating to you that Paul McCartney and The Beatles are very suspect, as is the "60's revolution" are just telling you. What's wrong in the world is that you just accept everything as you see it, rather than using your common sense to tell you, something's amiss. No wonder I get such vitriol hurled back. Not my fault you're scared by this information cuz it challenges every single thing you've thought this world was about. Have a good look at A Hard Day's Night sometime. Take a good look at McCartney in his scenes. You're going to see there's two of him. How you spot the difference between the two is a small thing, but one that makes it impossible for one to be the other. And if the public could be fooled that easily into believing that Paul McCartney was just one person, imagine what you could do if it worked. And people sang the songs too! You'd practically be able to sell them anything.

    In the 60s in London, England ( quite a few yrs after the Beatles went to school ) I remember kids getting thrashed with a cane at assembly simply for playing conkers near the Headmaster's car. (Conkers is hitting chestnuts on a string against each other till the victor's one remains intact. A common school game in England back then at least.) Different era. Teachers took no crap at all from students - or pupils as they were known as then. Remember Savile was prowling the London hospitals by 69. Not a good time for kids in some ways. Repression was the corollary of freedom. Things you wouldn't get detention for today, you would be thrashed for back then. Most fathers gave their sons the strap or belt. A decade or two before it was sometimes a stick (or even a cricket stump as my late elderly neighbor once recalled.)
