Quite the iconoclast! Amazing how even this late in the game we can get to an ‘everything you know is wrong’ reveal. Excellent interview as always, thank you
It’s probably the album that most clearly highlights the problem with his lyrics - musically Morse Moose is outstanding but the subject matter… I wonder how Maxwell with Lennon aided lyrics might have turned out
Just finished You Never Give Me Your Money - impressive to see how McCartney reclaimed the narrative, even as late as the video you’ve posted (post divorce?) So … what book next?!
One question I would have - he says Blackbird was written as a social protest song. That always strikes me as a revisionist view, there’s no evidence at the time of that is there? That’s not how Paul’s writing works
Well…Dreaming the Beatles continues to be extraordinary - thank you for the recommendation. The chapter on Paul’s My Love is superb. Brilliant reading someone who has thought quite so deeply
