@@marqgoldberg7454 didn't care about Julian? wouldn't be that harsh...Julian was absolutely neglected and John's behavior in that regard was unacceptable, but you had to take into account the mitigating circumstances. Not as an excuse, but an explanation. Even Julian has said that he can understand John, even though he was wronged. The man wasn't malevolent or intentionally cruel, he was just a human being who fucked up really bad, as humans sometimes do. John was the product of a chaotic and traumatic childhood, and it took him a really long time to sort his own heaping pile of shit out. He was really young when Julian was born and probably wasn't ready for the responsibility. He didn't exactly have a good role model of how to be a good father- Beatlemania prevented him from settling down at home, bonding with his baby, and learning how. Then John gets into a horrible place with drugs and such, Yoko Ono comes along to destroy the marriage to Cynthia and demand John's sole full attention and whisk him away to New York, not to mention making the drug problem worse. FINALLY Sean is born and John begins to turn his life around, including reconnecting with his older son, though Julian was already a full ass teenager by then and a lot of irreparable damage had been done. Still, things were really looking up, and the man who was murdered in 1980 was a far better person than the 22 year old kid who became a father. Had he lived, he would've continue to grow and mature, his relationship with Julian would flourish, and he was on track to be a fantastic father to Sean.

My feelings after listening to his interview was that this was a “new” for Paul and it was time to drop his guard and be open, truthful and honest because he was talking to his best friends son that was truly searching for some answers about his father. There are moments during the interview that Paul appears to know exactly what this interview means on a deeply emotional level to a son of a fallen soldier searching for answers.

I think he has been especially gifted in that way. He has always managed to separate the celebrity and all that goes with that from his personal identity. He has remained close to his family members and has remained vulnerable. I really respect his way of managing his very special renown and celebrity. Amazing person.... especially knowing that he is very likely the most spectacular musician of our era... and likely over a couple centuries as well.

In the Beatles, John was the MIND, Paul was the HEART, George was the SOUL, and Ringo was the BODY that kept them together. Greatest band in all of history. Still even TODAY after 50+ years... So nice to hear Sean interview Paul, and Paul REALLY opening up to him. We ALL know the story, but Paul gives us the insight into how it all happened. Very touching.

Sean is so blessed to still at least have Paul around to hear these stories about his Dad from his old friend who just happened to be the co-leader in the biggest band in musical history. Even if John and Paul had never been famous anything, it’s still wonderful to hear stories about your Dad from his friends. To tragically lose your Dad at such an early age is just devastating, but this is so nice, because as time goes by their generation is almost all gone. What a great interview, I really enjoyed it.

Paul is such a kind and generous person when he speaks about other people. He never feels the need to push his story out front. He is always just one of the guys and they all did it all, all together. Such a class act.

This interview is another Paul McCartney masterpiece. Sean, it’s a blessing to listen to you. I was 9 years old, wearing a Beatles wig watching them on Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. Been a Beatles, then John, Paul, George, and Ringo fan for 56 years. Sean, I’m your fan and your brother’s, too! Thank you, for making the world so much better!

When I was 5 years old, I talked to Santa Clause on the phone on KJR Radio in Seattle, WA. KJR sent me a brand new copy of the Magical Mystery Tour album. I cherished that record growing up. It changed my life. The Beatles were a game changer for so many people, it is truly amazing what they gave to the world. I saw them on the Ed Sullivan show with my mother, but I was too young to remember it.

no,. for me George too, eventually came (very) good too. John identified more with George inwardly I think post '66, after they took acid together. They were the 'interior rebels'. But Wonderful characters all..., I remember both George Martin & Brian Epstein said they were drawn to their charisma, and likability as people -more than their music. They were kinda intelligent, witty and likable human-beings as well as being good at music! George slightly annoyed me to be honest until I saw that documentary directed by Sorcese 'Living in the Material World'. A totally cool bloke -I love the three of them and also Richard :)

What a gift to our human race Sir Paul Is! I dont know how many realize the generosity and loving, supportive nature continually shines from Sir Paul’s soul/being. He’s a natural leader, gifted, giving, loving always making amyone around him feel the most important being in the center of the universe. Terrific “uncle” Paul for Sean to have some precious time with. TYVM for this insightful discussion. Many cultures (sadly not Brtiish) family members have little emphasis on whether or not blood relationships exist. If these men had only been from cultures which embraced such brotherhood and family as these men have. Thank you Paul McCartney (& John & family) for a lifetime; for generations of artistic gifts in perpetuity..
