He was asked good questions and he actually answered them directly and said something worth listening to. It’s amazing too that they turned chance opportunities, like a sit-down at the piano or noticing a poster, and made songs like Golden Slumbers and Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite. Geniuses who had some humility.

I'm not sure if he got the questions in advance but if that was off the cuff it was very well played. It's a bit sad when the question about what will the Beatles be doing at 40 came around. "Mourning the loss of our friend," came to mind. Of course, who could have made that call. I think most people wish they could see the future, but I also think if you could maybe you wouldn't like the ability as much as you think.

@@TheJoshtheboss (warning - this is a bit of a long one..) "Paul demonstrated on multiple occasions to be very business and popular opinion savvy" 100% agree and thank goodness for that, especially in regards to what was musically likely to sell! But being business savvy and having an eye to popularity doesn't equal "false humility", it's common sense. He loved what he did but he also wanted to make a living. Remember it was Paul's acuity that saved The Beatles their money when Klein mis-managed their financial affairs. And Paul wasn't always *such* a slave to 'popular opinion' that he would abandon what he believed to be morally right. During The Beatles tour of the US where performing to segragated audiences had been proposed, Paul was very vocal in his views that they would not perform if those were the circumstances. In a US press conference he said: "We don't like it if there's any segregation... you can't treat other human beings like animals... there's never any segregation in concerts in England and in fact, if there was, we wouldn't play 'em ". "Crafty PR man"? That makes him sound so conniving - I don't see that in him at all. Astute, enterprising, diligent, exacting? Yes. But also genuinely conscious of the feelings of those around him - especially as the older and wiser man he has become. Look I get it, Paul comes across as being *very* likeable, but I believe it's his diplomacy that can sometimes be *perceived* as insincere. But that's just perception and not necessarily an accurate assessment. I'm not like him, I often sacrifice diplomacy in favour of harsh 'thruths' (well, my version of the truth, anyway), I actually feel it's a perverse form of self-indulgence. I'd *rather* be more like Paul - kind and careful, it's harder and takes more self-control. I've also come across different accounts of the same stories that Paul has told, but is that deliberately massaging the truth for his benefit, or just a very human tendency to misremember things from the past? No one is perfect, and Paul will have his faults like all of us, but I think he's been given a hammering over the years. It's been excessive and IMO, unjust.

I think it’s funny how the interviewer said, “Isn’t the lyric ‘turn me on’ a bit passé?” The stuff that hip people in the ‘60s cared about! In the ‘60s, pop culture changed so quickly that even things from only a couple years ago could be called passé! Several decades later, with the Beatles firmly entrenched in the bedrock of music history, little cultural fads like that don’t matter anymore.

Abbey Road was their biggest selling non-compilation album. Although not as strong as Revolver, as important as Sgt Pepper’s or as diverse as the White Album it’s definitely their most melodic LP and shows British pop music at its height.

Apart from ‘Come Together’ I never really liked Abbey Road as an album. I picked up on a lot of sadness & bad vibes that seem to permeate the record… possibly because I was on a trip at the time & I don’t think all was well with the Fabs during recording. For me the best thing about it is the iconic sleeve photo.

Considering the restoration and the new story that the footage tells, I would say that it's far from an awful edition.

If you take their complete songs from their complete studio albums, you'll be mezmerized by the fact that it all started with "One, two, three, four!" ("I Saw Here Standing There", the first song from the first album) and ended with "And in the end, the love you make is equal to the love you make" by McCartney (the end of "Abby Road", if you consider it to be their last complete studio album) or with "Thank you all on behalf of our group and I hope we've passed the audition" by Lennon (the end of "Let It Be", if you consider this one to be the last). What other group in the history of music had this kind of symbolism in their carreer?!
