Paul McCartney: The Waterstones Interview

Ойын-сауық

Paul McCartney has stated that it is highly unlikely he will ever write a conventional autobiography. The Lyrics, then, stands as the defining literary statement of Britain’s most influential living songwriter. To celebrate it as Waterstones Book of the Year, he spoke with James Daunt about his Liverpool childhood, looking back on The Beatles and how this presentation of his songs sheds a whole new light on him personally and the world that surrounded him.

    Sir Paul, is not a national treasure. He's an international treasure, for all time. So great, so famous, so humble, so lovely. I imagine he is just as charming and intelligent and witty as he was as a young lad in Liverpool. To have changed the world musically and yet to be so down to earth, is the sign of a most wondrous soul

    I'll never forget one night in 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario when I was doing my usual late night radio surfing on my parents big console set that at night was able to clearly tune in well over 200 radio stations from all over N. America. It had one of those big plastic dials with a giant lead weight behind it. That night every single station, all 200 plus, were playing a Beatles record all at the same time at the moment I was surfing. To be sure to what I was listening, I reversed the process from the other end of the dial and got the same result. No other recording artist in history can claim that I believe, nor will they in the future. In 300 years, people will still be listening to the Beatles.

    Fame did get to them, but as they've all said, at least they had each other. Elvis was on his own, but the four Bealtes were able to support each other through what must at times have been hell. Their humble upbringings helped a lot too. Sadly, John didn't cope as well, due in large part to his childhood trauma and insecurity, which was one factor leading to them splitting up as a band. But they still all loved each other. So much to learn from these guys!

Yeah they went through drugs , alcohol, and their changes but they always stayed humble and true to roots. That's fascinating. I dont think they get enough credit for it. That kind of fame would take a lot of people for a ride outside reality. So that amazes me. Then they just have an irresistible charisma. Thank God at least half of them are still here.
