PAUL McCARTNEY - REVEALING INTERVIEW

[@lwdfn7479]

"I could be performing when I'm 90." I hope so! He's still a got a few more years till then, but Paul McCartney is one of the best, well-spoken rock-musicians ever. He nailed it when he said he had a good childhood. It shows! I fell in love with Sir Paul in 1964 because he was so darn cute and had "bedroom eyes". And he hasn't disappointed since then. Wonderful interview with Bob Costa.

[@GretchenKeskeys]

Paul is by far the best celebrity out there. He’s so real. No false humility, but truly humble at the same time. A great storyteller. So many interesting insights. Bob Costas does a superb job. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Paul McCartney is so special. I am a songwriter and watch every interview with him I can find. He shares so much interesting information about his process which is genius. I learn so much.. So glad I found this one. What a gift to this world he is. Just the best.

[@Jcyt1016]

I really hope the interviewer asks Paul how he wrote Yesterday. I mean, I've SCOURED the internet and Paul's interviews......and I just cannot for the life of me find anything on how he wrote that.

[@modeo92]

Costas doesn't get enough credit for this show. He really excelled with one guest and no audience, which can be very difficult to pull off. I saw an interview and he said that he found making the guests as comfortable as possible was just as important, if not more, than being prepared with good questions. They'd share things that they wouldn't with other interviewers.

[@myahollandia3552]

Absolutley. When was this ?

[@modeo92]

November 5-7, 1991 (the week was filmed in course of one day). It was one of only two times (the other being for Milton Berle) that a guest got 3 successive nights.

[@coolcat6303]

Well said. I really miss this show & watched every episode back in '91. I even watched it when Greg Kinnear took over for him. Bob was always my fav host though. I only wish they'd bring this show back.

[@jennifersman7990]

I miss it too, I have a bunch of these shows saved on VHS. Costas was a great interviewer and could make an average subject very watchable

[@nordvegfigg7746]

I saw him in Toronto 1992 or 1993 when he performed several Beatles songs live for the first time in concert. I was about 20 feet from the stage, almost dead centre in an aisle seat and remember getting goosebumps when he launched into Sgt Pepper, Penny Lane etc. It was a magical concert.

Going into these sites is not doing research. Lol.* *With their naturally occurring everday but handpicked forced perspective photos as proof as "Faul" as being taller and their out of context videos forcing you to believe you are seeing and hearing things that are not there.* *As an example I was on the Justice forJames website where she presented Paul's Stage IEM as a prosthetic ear. Lol. I have firsthand knowledge she is a scammer. Yes, she.* Or on Michael Williams' Sage Of Quay he did an "investigation" where he proved there was no way they could write and arrange and record the Rubber Soul album from October 12th to November 15th 1965.* *But what he conveniently forgot to mention was that they came in dry into the October recordings only after their June 1965 recordings were already completed.* *Which proves to me he's a scammer as he chose to leave that very well known fact out as he knew you all just get your facts from these scamming sites with no citations.* ==== *My favorite sheep-like comment is when people say James looks genetically like his father Vivian Stanshall. Bahahaha.* *That doesn't even make any sense. How can James genetically look like a disguise"?* *Because according to your own theories that is actually what "Faul" and Vivian are. Disguises. Faul with his plastic surgeries and Latex and Vivian with blonde wigs and Hollywood prosthetics.* ***As according to your own logistically impossible fantasies 'William" is supposed to most resemble his first character Phil Avrill, lol (even having to say "his first character" lowered my IQ by 50 points).**** *James at 20 looked exactly like 1963 Paul with his his droopy eyes and distinctive arch in his eyelid area, raised eyebrows and exact chin. And had his mother's strawberry blonde hair and light features, not from Vivian (and your 70s Street Vivian had nothing to do with Linda either). Same with Stella. Dark haired Mary has the distinctive eyelid arch line too. And now as an older man James is a doppelganger to his uncle Michael.* *The logistics of what you're proposing is straight out of the mind of 13 year old adolescent child. Yes the world is corrupt and money hungry but it isn't as organized as you think it is.* *Any conspiracy that needs multiple doubles is a very weak conspiracy indeed.* ======== *****Paul still has his lip scar from his December 26th 1965 moped accident**** *Which has naturally changed over a lifetime like it should. Placing a scar on Paul's lip by a plastic surgeon is not like putting on a never changing Lego piece. They would have had to rip Faul's lip open deep completely in 1966 to make it so it can last and change over a lifetime (which it did). We know this didn't happen as we all would've noticed it at the time that his lip was ripped open fresh again like it was in 1965 the year before.* ***Paul bought the Scotland farm on June 7th, 1966*** ***Paul's penchant for what John called Granny music stayed consistent before and after 1966 right through to the late 70s at times. Which was due to his father's music hall influences. With Paul surprising him with his dad's only song in the 70s (which his dad lied about).* *Paul's dad was at his 1969 wedding with many many many pictures of them genuinely laughing together in the 70s.* *Paul and Michael going off together for lunch way in the background not even knowing they were in the shot in Get Back.* *Etc.* *Do you really believe that the Beatles and all their Hollywood friends and British wives would be stupid enough to call him Billy to his face pretty much every time a camera is around (mostlydry British humor) ? The Beatles and their opportunistic record company have been exploiting this 60s teenage college campus fantasy almost from the get-go. Not even to mention he used to book himself into hotels as Billy Martin in the early days as well.* ===== *The whole foundation of the Tavistock conspricay was built upon fraud and deception. I can prove it to you by providing you a look into you how every single paragraph of the original book that started the whole conspiracy was copied and pasted from other books. Every single line. And I can provide you the original books as to where they all came from. But here's the kicker. Nothing in this book is credited to the original person who said it. Of which none of it had anything to with Tavistock. The citations were all made up to fit a made up scenario of a Tavistock conspiracy. Completely made up. This is not an opinion that it is not real. It's a fact. And I can prove it to you. ***I can send that over to you if you like**** *All Faulers seem to be missing the nuance gene. You think you have an insight into how this world really works. I'll let you in on another little secret. You don't.* *if you reply TLDR I'll give you my bored yawn now".

Of course they were aware of it. i think the thing WE are not aware of is what the Beatles decides to hide or keep for themselves - because they cannot be an open book with the public knowing everything about them.

Who would have known that "stupid" John Lennon like Ronald Reagan so much, probably for tax cuts.

He did silly political things earlier in his life ,but liking Reagan near the end of his life,just showed me that he was "GETTING BETTER ALL THE TIME" up until he was assassinated . He & Reagan were both shot within 3or4 months of each other. DEC.1980-March 1981

Here it is. Most of us expected it doesn’t exist. But here it is. Truly a perfect, balanced person; self aware, personal growth, public persona and personal/private evolution and survival. So pleasant to listen to him and join in reflection.

Paul is a thoughtful and talented man. Watching this interview in 2024 with Paul being 81 years old is a real treasure. Four young men in the early sixties became the most influential band the world has ever known. Still gaining new fans sixty years after breaking up. Harrison said, " The Beatles will exist without us. " It's a blessing that Paul and Ringo are still with us.

[@jnorris7322]

Yes great interview. Every Beatle fan knows, or at least liked to believe no matter what they all loved each other, but it's nice to hear it from them. Another interview somewhere (forget which Beatle said) " First and foremost we were mates". Only 4 people on earth experienced what they went through, and that has bonded them for ever.

[@thepauldobbs]

Yes, excellent interview. Costas did his homework, asked great questions, was respectful and appreciative of McCartney. McCartney was relaxed and comfortable, said many wise and clever things.

I was at that concert "New World Tour" 1993 at New Jersey Meadowlands. Paul did most of his own songs and in doing so, I said to myself "He is The Beatles" But I have to say, there was multiple jumbotron screens behind him. There was one scene when part of a face appeared until all the screens appeared John Lennon's face. Paul got down on one knee with both hands together held up high Paul Said "I miss you, buddy, I love You" Not a dry eye in the stadium, people of all ages broke out into tears, including me.

[@kevincerce5056]

@@UncompressedWAVmusic Some things that move us to tears we never forget. If I'm still around when or if Paul passes on I'm not sure I can handle it. I was in the 6th grade in '64 and literally grew up with the Beatles and their music. I bought my first guitar in the mid-'60s, along with the 2 Beatles music books "Beatles Complete" I had a field day playing song after song. To this day, when I pick up a guitar, my go-to song The Beatles. .

[@Androidwebber]

Paul is so tongue-in-cheek here with his use of language. Listen to how he hides titles of John Lennon songs in his descriptions of him. "If you can IMAGINE" - " Well, you know John was a JEALOUS GUY". The reason this interview is amazing is because Paul is remembering John by engaging in wordplay as though John were alive, in the way that they maybe did together when writing songs. And in a subliminal way he's telling you that a songwriter lives on in an active way through their songs. Whether he means to or not. Perhaps Paul is more responsible for the subliminal/weird content of Beatles records. The kind of content that you might ascribe to John...but I do not know any of this.

[@andyc609]

It's a very interesting and deep point, I didn't realize he had done that before reading your comment. Over the past couple of days I've watched quite a few of Pauls interviews, he says himself that some of the songs came to him subliminally, like Yesterday he dreamt it, Paul didn't realize till afterwards when somebody said to him "that songs your mum" and he said, "Ah yes, it probably is". Also, Eleanor Rigby, he had the name, Eleanor but he couldn't think of a fitting surname which would fit the melody of the song, that's when he saw Rigby on a shop front signpost. Later it was discovered that Eleanor Rigby was engraved on a gravestone quite close to his and Johns house. He said himself he'd probably seen that gravestone and the name might have stayed with him subliminally. I think Pauls obviously a very talented and intelligent man and retains a lot of information in his brain and maybe songwriting so many songs have encouraged growth in the particular areas responsible, so much so that it's natural and flows out of him without him even thinking about it. Or maybe it's just fate and everything is meant to be the way it is.

[@aflat9388]

A great interview in no small part because of the intelligence and articulation of Mr. Bob Kostis... and Paul was at his best, very relaxed, feeling very much in the flow. Bob is a fantastic resource in the world of broadcast TV

I really enjoyed this; Paul was far more lucid and revealing than ever before. Which has to be due to the quality of the interviewer's questions, and pacing of the whole 30 minutes.

[@michaelnewell6385]

One of the very best interviews I have ever heard Paul give. The person interviewing him brought out a lot in him. The Beethoven’s and Bachs of the 20th and 21st century. People will be listening to their music 100 years from now. They will be wondering what it was like to live back in that era. I feel lucky to of known what it was like. It was magic.

[@SueProv]

Larry King made fun of the Beatles in the presence of Arthur Fiedler. Fielder was the conductor of the orchestra the Boston Pops from 1930 to 1979 and was a curmudgeon. He told King that the Beatles were the Beethoven of their time. They broke the rules and that the Beatles would be around way after they were dead. Fiedler also compared them to Bach. King told the story to McCartney and his face lit up.
