Paul was right.

quote:Nah. Free as a Bird is stunningly great too.
I’ve been ruminating on why “free as a bird” grates on me while “now and then” makes me so happy. The tech advances notwithstanding I think it’s because the way they crafted the song makes it so clear that john is not there…the opening Harrison slide, the trading bridges with Paul and George, it all seems so cobbled together. None of that would have ever happened in a four man studio. John is a ghost in his own song.
“Now and then” though sounds like a Beatles song. John sings all the verses and the bridge and there’s no attempt to “highlight” any of the others. It’s sorcery what they were able to do, and it works.
So let’s forget the first attempt ever happened. “Now and Then” is a worthy last Beatles song

Opener Jackie deshannon hosts a segment every morning on “breakfast with the Beatles” on XM18
In the Larry Kane book (Ticket to Ride) from that 1964 tour, he talks about the opening acts. They got to fly on the jet with the Beatles also. John in particular took great pains during the tour to circulate up to the front where the openers were placed to interact with them and otherwise make them feel welcome. Jackie was thrilled!

He was always portrayed as the clown, and that is such a great song.

Supposedly Jane Asher.
However McCartney has a tendency to embellish a lot and create revisionist history.
Originally Blackbird was about a bird that kept waking him up in Rishikesh, and then it morphed into some sort of off the wall civil rights song.
I heard he's now claiming "Let 'em In" is about immigration.
He's really full of shart.

quote:No, at least not according to the book. He said a relative approached him for advice on how to handle the fallout of an affair. The song morphs from being about the dog to about the affair ("when you find yourself in the thick of it").

Not that it matters, because I'm sure he'll change it again. But ..
Paul McCartney's song "Martha My Dear" has been interpreted as a reference to his breakup with Jane Asher, especially in the line "don't forget me". The song's title was inspired by McCartney's Old English Sheepdog, Martha, but McCartney is credited as the sole writer of the song along with Lennon–McCartney.

Rickles was infamous for that.
No matter how offensive he was in his act, he would always close with some nauseating sermon about how we're all brothers under the skin & its great that we can all take a joke blah blah blah...
