[@nycinstyle]

McCartney is the most accomplished songwriter in rock and roll history. Hands down. It's him. Beatles, Wings, solo, duets, etc. Nobody wrote and made music that sold more than he did. That goes for all people and all types of music ever He is extremely modest most every time I have ever heard him talk. Extremely. Doesn't brag, doesn't talk down to people. He is also a considerate and caring listener when fans and reporters, etc., speak to him. In fact, the way he is, he typically acts like you are important to him when you talk to him. That is why people love him even more.

Since you do not have the ability to post without profanity I assume you do not have the ability to read and comprehend. Making a positive statement on Lennon/McCartney is not stating George or Ringo were bad. George is probably one of the most if not the most underrated songwriters ever. Ringo was very talented as a drummer, and would also fall under the category of very underrated too. It took all 4 to make what happened happen, so no I would not say forget the other 2.

[@matthewweiss2878]

On his last day on Earth, John Lennon was followed around by Dave Sholin, who was interviewing him for RKO. Sholin was on his way to the airport and, when John and Yoko's car to the studio did not show up, Sholin invited them to ride with him and be dropped off on the way. They apparently had a remarkable day together and Sholin found Lennon to be open, friendly and excited to be reviving his career. When the subject of Paul came up, John did not hesitate to talk about their troubles, but ultimately said this: "He’s like a brother. I love him. Families … we certainly have our ups and downs and our quarrels. But at the end of the day when it’s all said and done, I would do anything for him. I think he would do anything for me." Obviously, I never met a Beatle, but it always troubled me to think that the two men didn't reconcile before they died. I find it very comforting to know that they did and that they had the opportunity to tell each other how they felt. In the end, I suppose, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

Ikura Prime I'm with you every step of the way on that one. Wasn't it incredible growing up with them? The music kept flowing from them to us and never dried up until the break up. It's impossible for those who were not there to understand what they were and what they meant to all of us. Every six months a new album would come out and every track was a gem. Every three months there was a new single with music that was never on an album. In the early 80s A Hard Day's Night was re-released in theaters. I went with my friends and all of those who were my age literally cried at the beginning of that film. It had only been a short time since John was killed and it hit home on every one of us who were in that theater that day. Try to explain that to younger people who were not there and they will just shake their heads and walk away. We we're privileged and blessed to be part of that time and to experience all that came with it.

At 6:27, when he talks about the look they exchanged after that line in A day in the life, you can see he's reliving that moment. The pause, the sigh and the 'ah boy' are so painful to watch.

You can tell he’s uncomfortable sharing his memories and is struggling to keep it together, the little snippets that he’s giving out are for him and John to understand, not the rest of us.

[@meanmistermustard1041]

I love John Lennon's music, but I think Paul McArtney is a truly great guy.

[@sherryannhailey6596]

I saw what you did there...

Nein!Nein!Nein! Ist John, Paul, George & Ringo.

[@gregm4549]

That’s a bit rude isn’t it ?

[@neeps9596]

I doubt you'll ever see as honest and heartfelt an induction as that again.

[@deborahklinlger8565]

Oh the stories Paul could tell!! It must of been difficult with out getting emotional. These 4 blokes changed the world 🌎. I LOVED ALL OF THEM & THEIR MUSIC. THEY MOLDED MY WORLD. John was so talented & such a musical force. SEAN. JULIAN & YOKO his family . GEORGE & JOHN dearly missed around the world. THANK YOU Paul!!! Love their music, still at 65 it moves me sometimes to tears.

1:24 Paul speaks to John about his 21st birthday 1:30 John replies taking over Paul's body

[@ThisGirly26]

OMG, I heard that!! 😮

[@rodneyrawlings7100]

Paul is a great mimic, as some clips show.

[@gretchennelson7056]

I always have wondered if he did that on purpose.

[@Mauigirl4MJ]

Paul, always so naturally charming and adorable, even after so many years as one of the most famous artists of all time, on the planet, ever. He's never stopped being humble and pretty normal. So lucky to have grown up with these guys. I am forever grateful.

[@user-hh5rn4jz6o]

Paul at his best in a very difficult, very emotional situation. Paul was the only one with the true stature to do this - anyone else would have been second best. Gracious, personal, humorous at times. A wonderful talk.

[@Zeusdattilo]

I agree completely. After their breakup Paul was always showed as the selfish one, but after all these years we know that he loved his mates...

[@michelles4126]

Zeusdattilo Of course he loved them ! Thank you for saying that, I began to feel bad about what I read, people are always saying that Paul is selfish and that he is not a Beatle.... Paul was talented, and he loved his friends

[@Zeusdattilo]

Michelle S Dear Michelle, it's quite clear that Paul loved his mates even in their bad days. He never wrote bitter or angry songs dedicated to his mates. He took any chance to pay his tribute to John and George. He has good relationships with Olivia and Dhani Harrison, Sean and even Yoko Ono Lennon. Julian Lennon once claimed that when he was a child he felt considered Paul as his dad. Paul is a great artist. As all great artists he is a bit self-centred as well as John was self-centred. That's all. You're very nice. If I were Paul I would dedicate to you: "Michelle ma belle these are words that go together well..."

[@michelles4126]

Zeusdattilo Thank you very much !! Your comment is so sweet ! I feel better when I see this kind of comment, I can't stand to see people saying "Fuck you Paul", where is respect ? I respect this man, and Ringo, George and John, more than anyone. I am happy to read what you wrote. Thank you again !

[@Zeusdattilo]

Michelle S Dear Michelle, as many people all over the world I've read a lot about them...I think I read one of the first Beatle Books ever written by Roy Carr and Tony Tyler many years ago. Then I read Philip Norman "Shout!", Peter Brown "The Love You make" and other books so I think I learned enough about them. From 1967 till their breakup Paul was a sort of leader, John was more concerned with avant-gard art. I think that many years after thier breakup people understood that Paul was the one who care of the group more than others. Sometimes he could be overberaing as in Let it Be movie but at the same time he was the one who was ready to go on eith the group. Anyway, I love them all. I play guitar but I'm gonna buying a Hofner Ignition Bass and I will dedicate Paul's Michelle solo bass to you. Take care.

[@CherryLipgloss1000]

I can’t believe a man, 9 years before I was born, could leave such a lasting presence in my life. Thank you, John. You’ve saved me a few times x

[@CrAck-MoNey]

I've heard all of those stories before, but to see Paul tell them from his head, emotions, and love he had for this person he shared this time with was truly impactful!
