Oh, hi there, everyone. Welcome to another episode of Good Hang. Boy,
2
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:13.599
we have, well, the most famous person in this studio
3
00:00:13.689 --> 00:00:16.489
and probably the most famous person I've ever met, Sir
4
00:00:16.550 --> 00:00:20.550
Paul McCartney. Paul McCartney is here, the Liverpudlian who was
5
00:00:20.609 --> 00:00:24.550
in the Beatles and in Wings and in our lives
6
00:00:24.769 --> 00:00:28.070
for our whole lives. And we're gonna talk about a
7
00:00:28.210 --> 00:00:31.469
lot of great things today. We're gonna talk about whether
8
00:00:31.489 --> 00:00:34.770
or not Paul was taller than John. We're going to
9
00:00:34.810 --> 00:00:38.479
talk about Paul's love of animals. We're going to discuss
10
00:00:38.859 --> 00:00:41.859
what makes a great breakfast and how many berries are involved.
11
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:45.500
And we are going to talk about Paul's new music,
12
00:00:45.619 --> 00:00:50.060
Boys of Dungeon Lane, the re-release and new songs that
13
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:53.679
have just recently come out. Special edition. We're going to
14
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:56.740
get into music in general. Of course, it is Paul McCartney.
15
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.409
Paul McCartney is music. Before we do this, we always
16
00:01:00.429 --> 00:01:03.310
like to speak to somebody who knows our guest, is
17
00:01:03.350 --> 00:01:05.750
a fan of our guest, or in this case, is
18
00:01:05.790 --> 00:01:07.930
the daughter of our guest. And we are speaking today
19
00:01:07.989 --> 00:01:13.599
to Stella McCartney. Stella McCartney, a huge talent, fashion designer,
20
00:01:14.019 --> 00:01:20.019
incredible creative mind, who is just so funny and warm
21
00:01:20.140 --> 00:01:23.280
and witty and smart. And we got the opportunity to
22
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.349
talk to her. And we're going to see if Stella
23
00:01:26.590 --> 00:01:30.640
is going to give us a good... Question for her dad. So, Stella?

00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:24.219
some technical difficulties.
36
00:02:24.500 --> 00:02:27.520
Oh, no, that's good. We were having some technical difficulties also.
37
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.120
Am I speaking to you in England?
38
00:02:29.830 --> 00:02:30.050
Yes.
39
00:02:30.830 --> 00:02:31.689
Hi, Stella.
40
00:02:31.710 --> 00:02:33.110
Hi, Amy.
41
00:02:33.189 --> 00:02:35.349
I actually like you a lot. I can't believe it
42
00:02:35.389 --> 00:02:37.719
took this to get us together.
43
00:02:38.069 --> 00:02:38.289
I know.
44
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:41.879
I've had the pleasure of being invited and dressed by you,
45
00:02:42.419 --> 00:02:45.060
but I've had the chance to go to many events
46
00:02:45.300 --> 00:02:49.439
where you have been, where I've had like a very
47
00:02:49.539 --> 00:02:51.919
quick drive by. And every time I've gotten a chance
48
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.370
to spend time with you, I've really wanted more because
49
00:02:55.729 --> 00:02:58.610
I'm such a fan of you, your work, your creativity,
50
00:02:58.830 --> 00:03:02.710
how you conduct yourself in the world. And it's really,
51
00:03:02.729 --> 00:03:04.560
really nice to talk to you today. Thank you for
52
00:03:04.590 --> 00:03:05.159
talking to us.
53
00:03:05.580 --> 00:03:08.500
Likewise. Wow. That was a bit serious. That's freaked me out.
54
00:03:08.580 --> 00:03:08.699
Yeah.
55
00:03:08.740 --> 00:03:09.539
It got very serious.
56
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:10.340
Never do that again.
57
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:11.659
Never.
58
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.479
I know you Brits, you Brits, you can't, one compliment
59
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:16.539
and you guys get real.
60
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.930
Honestly, I'm nearly, I vomited a tiny bit in my mouth.
61
00:03:19.969 --> 00:03:21.310
Well, you know, get used to it.
62
00:03:21.569 --> 00:03:23.009
I am great. I'll take it.
63
00:03:23.250 --> 00:03:26.050
Are you in the middle of a, of a, show
64
00:03:26.090 --> 00:03:27.789
right now are we what are we.
65
00:03:27.789 --> 00:03:30.270
Perfect timing thanks for that I have a show in
66
00:03:30.289 --> 00:03:32.889
about three days in Paris I'm not busy at all
67
00:03:32.969 --> 00:03:35.969
Amy so you know the time difference and everything it's
68
00:03:36.009 --> 00:03:38.280
perfect it's brilliant I was kind of wondering what I'd
69
00:03:38.300 --> 00:03:41.560
do tonight and this just filled filled a hole I.
70
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.479
Mean what I imagine is going through your mind right
71
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.099
now with three days to go but at three days
72
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:50.500
to go before a show what is left to do
73
00:03:50.860 --> 00:03:52.080
is it everything.
74
00:03:51.740 --> 00:03:55.810
Pretty much yeah yeah yeah Yeah. I mean, we only
75
00:03:55.870 --> 00:04:00.639
started last night. So I've got a lot of little... Actually,
76
00:04:00.659 --> 00:04:03.740
I've got children I'm using to help stitch some things now.
77
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:05.500
They're not my own.
78
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.819
She jokes, she jests.
79
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.550
Obviously, I'm a sustainable, cruelty-free fashion brand.
80
00:04:11.710 --> 00:04:13.430
You grew up on a farm, right?
81
00:04:13.590 --> 00:04:14.009
I did.
82
00:04:14.590 --> 00:04:16.290
What was it like to grow up on a farm?
83
00:04:16.329 --> 00:04:18.529
What were your morning jobs? What did you have to
84
00:04:18.569 --> 00:04:19.170
do in the morning?
85
00:04:19.370 --> 00:04:19.810
Wow.
86
00:04:20.069 --> 00:04:21.370
Well, in Scotland.
87
00:04:22.209 --> 00:04:25.430
With my siblings, it was normally just self-entertainment.
88
00:04:25.550 --> 00:04:28.410
I used to take rocks and bang them on us.
89
00:04:28.889 --> 00:04:31.120
And I'm not joking. I used to take rocks and
90
00:04:31.129 --> 00:04:31.589
I'd bang.
91
00:04:31.509 --> 00:04:37.779
Them on other rocks. That's about it, really. No, a
92
00:04:37.779 --> 00:04:39.660
lot of horse riding, but rocks on rocks.
93
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:40.379
Yeah.
94
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:44.220
And did you have to, did you like, I'm going
95
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.379
to admit something. This is a very like suburban city
96
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:49.810
girl thing, I'm going to admit. So you might think
97
00:04:49.850 --> 00:04:54.290
less of me. I've never reached in under a hen
98
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:55.009
to get an egg.
99
00:04:55.509 --> 00:04:58.610
Oh, I did it all the time. Yeah, yeah. And
100
00:04:58.670 --> 00:05:02.529
never particularly enjoyable. Not really one of my, a little scary.
101
00:05:02.670 --> 00:05:04.769
I would be a little afraid to get, do you
102
00:05:04.810 --> 00:05:08.290
have to ask the hen to move first or do you?
103
00:05:08.550 --> 00:05:08.829
Yeah.
104
00:05:09.029 --> 00:05:09.509
Yeah.
105
00:05:09.970 --> 00:05:12.769
In fact, not many people know this about me, but
106
00:05:12.810 --> 00:05:15.129
I'm very good at impersonating chickens.
107
00:05:16.170 --> 00:05:16.709
Really?
108
00:05:17.329 --> 00:05:17.939
Can we hear?
109
00:05:17.949 --> 00:05:26.230
Yeah. So I'm quite good.
110
00:05:26.410 --> 00:05:29.930
I can converse with a chicken amongst many other things.
111
00:05:31.069 --> 00:05:34.439
So I'm bilingual in that respect. But I did have
112
00:05:34.449 --> 00:05:36.639
to go out and get the eggs when I was young.
113
00:05:36.819 --> 00:05:42.790
Well, your parents were like... it just seemed like they
114
00:05:42.870 --> 00:05:47.290
wanted so much to create a beautiful, like peaceful and
115
00:05:47.350 --> 00:05:51.050
loving childhood for you. And, you know, it seemed like
116
00:05:51.089 --> 00:05:54.069
that's what they gave you. And I'm talking to your
117
00:05:54.100 --> 00:05:58.160
dad today and you've probably spent the entirety of your
118
00:05:58.220 --> 00:06:01.060
life having people ask you questions and talk to you
119
00:06:01.160
--> 00:06:05.000
about your dad. And I, I, I, I wonder what
120
00:06:05.019 --> 00:06:07.240
it is like to have to kind of share your
121
00:06:08.019 --> 00:06:09.060
parents with the world.
122
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.810
Yeah, it is quite weird. I mean, I've only ever
123
00:06:11.870 --> 00:06:14.129
known that, to be honest. It's not like I've had
124
00:06:14.209 --> 00:06:16.910
another sort of experience. That is my experience.
125
00:06:16.970 --> 00:06:20.180
And it's definitely... trippy.
126
00:06:19.810 --> 00:06:22.699
And weird and surreal but I think also I was
127
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:25.680
brought up it was very extreme you know we were
128
00:06:25.740 --> 00:06:27.579
on a farm it was just the six of us
129
00:06:27.660 --> 00:06:29.420
and we were like in a tight all in one
130
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:32.779
room and mum was cooking dad was shearing sheep and
131
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.000
writing songs and then we were on tour you know
132
00:06:36.019 --> 00:06:38.519
with like 200,000 people screaming at your.
133
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:41.399
Parents yeah you all went on tour together yeah oh
134
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:44.800
how fun how fun.
135
00:06:44.459 --> 00:06:46.759
Yeah I was kind of angry when I was 18
136
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.769
because I was building friendships and I was kind of
137
00:06:49.790 --> 00:06:51.310
getting into the swing of my own thing and I
138
00:06:51.329 --> 00:06:52.829
was like what really we have to go on a
139
00:06:52.870 --> 00:06:56.790
world tour but it was it's amazing it's what it's
140
00:06:56.870 --> 00:06:59.509
actually one of the most I think the biggest privileges
141
00:06:59.610 --> 00:07:01.790
actually of being in my situation is being able to
142
00:07:02.430 --> 00:07:07.310
just truly see the world from you know from that
143
00:07:07.379 --> 00:07:09.720
perspective just try to travel and to see so many
144
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:11.279
different cultures and people and.
145
00:07:11.910 --> 00:07:13.870
And also it was all very much built from love.
146
00:07:13.910 --> 00:07:15.930
You know, everything that my mum and dad did was like,
147
00:07:15.949 --> 00:07:18.370
came from a place of love. But I'm also not
148
00:07:18.629 --> 00:07:23.139
particularly like a look at me type, if you can
149
00:07:23.180 --> 00:07:23.519
believe it.
150
00:07:23.819 --> 00:07:24.720
So actually when I.
151
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.120
Went, for me going into fashion was a more creative
152
00:07:27.180 --> 00:07:27.879
way of doing things.
153
00:07:27.899 --> 00:07:31.230
I'm just standing slightly behind the kind of spot, you know,
154
00:07:31.250 --> 00:07:32.209
I'm not an entertainer.
155
00:07:32.230 --> 00:07:33.230
She says.
156
00:07:33.250 --> 00:07:40.300
Yeah. Imagine if I broke into song right now.
157
00:07:40.819 --> 00:07:43.199
Well, we did hear a chicken impression earlier. We did
158
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:44.319
hear that impression.
159
00:07:44.779 --> 00:07:46.959
Let me hear your chicken. And what's your animal? Go on,
160
00:07:46.980 --> 00:07:49.470
I'll give you, I'll be kind. What's your best animal?
161
00:07:50.009 --> 00:07:51.649
I don't know. I don't know.
162
00:07:51.670 --> 00:07:52.089
Shut up.
163
00:07:52.230 --> 00:07:53.689
Everyone knows their best animal.
164
00:07:53.709 --> 00:07:54.490
Jesus.
165
00:07:54.750 --> 00:07:58.480
My best animal. Okay, you know what? Okay, I'm going
166
00:07:58.500 --> 00:07:59.649
to try a cat for you.
167
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.579
Wait, is this the first time you've ever impersonated a cat?
168
00:08:03.899 --> 00:08:04.839
In public, yes.
169
00:08:05.420 --> 00:08:06.560
Wow, okay.
170
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:09.240
Well, you're welcome, viewers.
171
00:08:09.579 --> 00:08:12.720
And here's how I feel about cats. They're fine. I
172
00:08:12.779 --> 00:08:15.110
don't love them. I don't hate them, of course.
173
00:08:15.129 --> 00:08:16.790
That's a cat at the door. Wait a minute.
174
00:08:17.050 --> 00:08:17.949
All right, here we go.
175
00:08:17.970 --> 00:08:18.310
Okay, go.
176
00:08:19.110 --> 00:08:20.410
Meow.
177
00:08:20.470 --> 00:08:27.490
Meow. Meow. The beginning was very good.
178
00:08:27.689 --> 00:08:29.850
I think people are laughing because it's so good. But
179
00:08:32.210 --> 00:08:33.779
you bring up something that I think is very interesting.
180
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:36.259
A lot of people that have public facing jobs are
181
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:40.799
actually kind of secretly introverted. people would probably be surprised
182
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:44.500
to hear that you consider yourself at times introverted.
183
00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:46.730
I mean, I don't think, I wouldn't say I'm introverted.
184
00:08:46.769 --> 00:08:47.669
That's going a little far.
185
00:08:47.750 --> 00:08:52.149
I'm just not, look, my example of an extrovert is
186
00:08:52.169 --> 00:08:56.029
Paul McCartney. So it's not like, oh, I'm an introvert.
187
00:08:56.090 --> 00:08:58.190
I mean, I'm not, compared to him, I'm an introvert.
188
00:08:58.269 --> 00:09:00.990
You know, I grew up with around SNL comedians. So I,
189
00:09:01.029 --> 00:09:03.639
you know, some of those, as you know better than anything,
190
00:09:04.340 --> 00:09:07.179
are extrovert and others really aren't, but they're still performers.
191
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:07.279
Sure.
192
00:09:07.850 --> 00:09:08.049
Yeah.
193
00:09:08.409 --> 00:09:10.149
You know, I want to talk to your dad about
194
00:09:10.169 --> 00:09:12.149
that because he's around SNL all the time. I mean,
195
00:09:12.190 --> 00:09:13.840
he's basically... I can't get rid of him.
196
00:09:13.860 --> 00:09:15.039
I'm like, again?
197
00:09:15.580 --> 00:09:15.980
Really?
198
00:09:16.539 --> 00:09:20.480
Jesus, play hard to get a little bit. I actually
199
00:09:20.500 --> 00:09:23.019
went to the one, the end of last season. It
200
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:25.200
was great. It was really good fun. With Will Farrell.
201
00:09:25.539 --> 00:09:27.610
So he had Will on. I was like, I am coming.
202
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.389
And I saw Will on your show. You guys were brilliant.
203
00:09:31.490 --> 00:09:33.789
And I was like, Dad. And on the way over there,
204
00:09:33.809 --> 00:09:34.370
I was talking.
205
00:09:34.409 --> 00:09:36.889
I said, Dad, please tell me you're going to get
206
00:09:36.950 --> 00:09:38.350
Will on to do the cowbell.
207
00:09:38.470 --> 00:09:40.809
And he was like, what cowbell? I'm like, what?
208
00:09:41.669 --> 00:09:42.490
What?
209
00:09:42.529 --> 00:09:45.889
Like, you know the cowbell sketch. Anyway, so then he did.
210
00:09:45.909 --> 00:09:47.429
But then he got Will to do cowbell.
211
00:09:48.250 --> 00:09:48.590
He did.
212
00:09:48.610 --> 00:09:49.509
Again, you're welcome.
213
00:09:49.529 --> 00:09:51.100
Thank you, Stella.
214
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:53.759
He didn't really give me credit, which is annoying.
215
00:09:56.259 --> 00:09:57.600
Well, I mean, I want to talk to him about
216
00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:01.100
Lauren and that relationship at SNL because you're right. I mean,
217
00:10:01.139 --> 00:10:04.799
he was around a lot and their affection for each
218
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:09.200
other is very sweet. Like they, you know, I mean, honestly,
219
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:12.259
you know, you get to a point in life where
220
00:10:12.340 --> 00:10:14.490
you become, you know, you're friends with people for 40, 50,
221
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:18.210
60 years and and it there's so much history there
222
00:10:18.250 --> 00:10:20.289
and it's really sweet to hear them talk about each
223
00:10:20.350 --> 00:10:21.309
other they are.
224
00:10:21.190 --> 00:10:23.590
Very very good old friends actually i mean they do
225
00:10:23.629 --> 00:10:25.710
yoga you've heard about yoga boys right i.
226
00:10:26.029 --> 00:10:28.210
Like that you call them yoga boys they're the.
227
00:10:28.149 --> 00:10:31.909
Yoga boys they call themselves the yoga boys be honest
228
00:10:31.950 --> 00:10:34.600
to god actually no i must get them t-shirts for
229
00:10:34.620 --> 00:10:36.100
christmas yoga.
230
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:39.000
Boys Not even yoga men, yoga boys.
231
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.299
Yes, because they're always learning. They're in a beginner's mind.
232
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:45.000
Childlike, for sure.
233
00:10:45.179 --> 00:10:50.759
So what is a question I should ask him? Like anything,
234
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:53.659
like a story that he would want to tell or
235
00:10:55.059 --> 00:11:00.240
something you still don't know about him or anything you
236
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:04.120
think I should not talk to him about? That's always
237
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:04.860
helpful too.
238
00:11:05.580 --> 00:11:08.019
No, he's pretty, he's pretty approachable, I would say.
239
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:10.539
Yeah, I mean, I can
think of things that you
240
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:12.860
shouldn't ask him, but you won't ask him those. And
241
00:11:12.899 --> 00:11:14.919
if you do, it'll be hilarious to watch. I'm just
242
00:11:14.940 --> 00:11:19.710
going to watch that unfold, quite frankly. I've got two questions.
243
00:11:19.769 --> 00:11:20.850
Am I allowed two questions?
244
00:11:20.950 --> 00:11:21.929
Yes, of course.
245
00:11:22.129 --> 00:11:27.129
The first one, I think, is, I guess I just
246
00:11:27.149 --> 00:11:30.090
want to kind of start by saying, you know, my dad.
247
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:32.919
is truly a living legend.
248
00:11:32.980 --> 00:11:37.470
Like he really is an absolute icon. He's inspired so
249
00:11:37.549 --> 00:11:41.970
many generations of so many people and his impact on,
250
00:11:42.169 --> 00:11:46.549
you know, planet earth has been just gigantic. Like he
251
00:11:46.610 --> 00:11:49.629
continues to just give and give and give. And I
252
00:11:49.669 --> 00:11:52.360
think he does that through lyrics, you know? So one
253
00:11:52.379 --> 00:11:54.220
thing that before my question, I just wanted to read
254
00:11:54.340 --> 00:11:57.240
out some of my favorite and like deep, you know,
255
00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:02.279
most meaningful lyrics by him. So yeah, So I sat
256
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:05.639
in the attic, a piano up my nose, and the
257
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:10.429
wind played a dreadful cantata, cantata, cantata.
258
00:12:10.970 --> 00:12:11.730
Sore was I.
259
00:12:11.730 --> 00:12:14.789
From a crack of an enemy's hose and the horrible
260
00:12:14.950 --> 00:12:23.549
sound of tomata, tomata, tomata. Ketchup, ketchup. Soup and puree,
261
00:12:24.190 --> 00:12:30.750
soup and puree, don't get left behind, don't get left behind. Ketchup, ketchup,
262
00:12:31.299 --> 00:12:34.840
soup and puree, soup and puree, don't get left behind.
263
00:12:35.100 --> 00:12:37.899
Now it continues, it continues if you want a little more.
264
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:42.519
My piano was boldly outspoken in attempts to repeat his refrain,
265
00:12:42.860 --> 00:12:45.080
so I stood with a knot in my stomach and
266
00:12:45.100 --> 00:12:49.830
I gazed at that terrible sight of two youngsters concealed
267
00:12:49.870 --> 00:12:51.590
in a barrel, smoking.
268
00:12:52.330 --> 00:12:53.830
Monkberry Moon Delight.
269
00:12:56.009 --> 00:12:59.929
My first question, I think, for my father is, Have
270
00:12:59.970 --> 00:13:02.309
you ever smoked Monkberry Moon Delight?
271
00:13:02.610 --> 00:13:03.159
And what is it?
272
00:13:03.809 --> 00:13:06.929
Fantastic question. It's from my favorite album. From Ram.
273
00:13:07.429 --> 00:13:09.149
Which actually is my mum and dad.
274
00:13:09.309 --> 00:13:09.490
Yeah.
275
00:13:09.509 --> 00:13:11.409
I think my mum shared in those lyrics, actually.
276
00:13:11.450 --> 00:13:13.769
I think she can take a bit of credit there, too.
277
00:13:14.210 --> 00:13:15.860
It's called Monkberry Moon Delight.
278
00:13:16.269 --> 00:13:16.529
Great.
279
00:13:16.620 --> 00:13:17.899
And it does go on.
280
00:13:17.940 --> 00:13:20.940
And in fact, there's a bit about cats and kittens there.
281
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:24.159
And it's a good one. So that's probably my first question.
282
00:13:24.379 --> 00:13:27.519
Has he ever smoked Monkberry Moon Delight? And what the
283
00:13:27.659 --> 00:13:33.759
fuck do those lyrics mean? So that's my first question.
284
00:13:33.779 --> 00:13:34.559
Okay, great.
285
00:13:34.659 --> 00:13:35.580
What is that about?
286
00:13:35.860 --> 00:13:38.279
My other question, which is serious, which actually I asked
287
00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:41.350
my dad this the other day and I want to
288
00:13:41.419 --> 00:13:43.629
see how he answers it to you because I was
289
00:13:43.830 --> 00:13:46.950
really surprised by the answer, like really surprised. And so
290
00:13:46.970 --> 00:13:50.169
this is my gift to you, this question, which is
291
00:13:50.309 --> 00:13:52.929
what is your first memory, dad?
292
00:13:53.730 --> 00:13:54.610
Ah, beautiful.
293
00:13:54.830 --> 00:13:56.649
And I really want to know what he answers to
294
00:13:56.710 --> 00:13:59.710
you because I was like, wow, that's great.
295
00:14:00.250 --> 00:14:03.789
What a great question to ask someone. I think your
296
00:14:03.820 --> 00:14:06.000
dad will be very happy that we talked because I
297
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:08.259
hope he feels like I've gotten some good advice.
298
00:14:08.419 --> 00:14:11.419
I love that you asked me. I feel very honored.
299
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.179
Seriously, I feel very, very honored that you asked me
300
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:16.759
because let's face it, you could have asked anyone to
301
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:17.909
ask Paul McCartney a question.
302
00:14:18.289 --> 00:14:21.210
And everyone would have said yes. Actually, that's amazing you
303
00:14:21.269 --> 00:14:22.330
asked me, Amy. Thank you.
304
00:14:22.470 --> 00:14:23.350
Of course.
305
00:14:23.990 --> 00:14:26.110
Thank you for doing it. And we'd love to get
306
00:14:26.149 --> 00:14:28.429
you into the stude. I have not had a designer
307
00:14:29.190 --> 00:14:31.789
and I feel like I would. Okay, great.
308
00:14:32.250 --> 00:14:32.409
Good.
309
00:14:32.750 --> 00:14:35.340
And good luck with that. I hope those questions are okay.
310
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:38.460
They're perfect. Well, much love to you, darling, and take care.
311
00:14:39.100 --> 00:14:40.139
Thank you for having me.
312
00:14:40.340 --> 00:14:43.100
Thanks so much for doing it. Bye, Stella. Great to
313
00:14:43.139 --> 00:14:44.100
see you. Thanks again.
314
00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:44.480
Bye.
315
00:14:44.580 --> 00:14:45.080
Bye, honey.
316
00:14:45.259 --> 00:14:45.549
Thank you.

326
00:15:21.389 --> 00:15:22.149
Hi, Paul.
327
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:23.220
Hey, Amy.
328
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:26.220
Do you get this a lot where people are kind
329
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:29.440
of nervous around you and you feel the energy and
330
00:15:29.460 --> 00:15:31.600
you have to figure out how to make them feel
331
00:15:31.620 --> 00:15:34.179
less nervous? Like that must be a thing you're used to.
332
00:15:34.210 --> 00:15:34.750
Yeah.
333
00:15:34.929 --> 00:15:35.389
Do you have a trick?
334
00:15:35.409 --> 00:15:38.379
No, exactly, yeah. A trick, I don't know, just to
335
00:15:38.419 --> 00:15:42.200
kind of be normal. Yeah. You know, I was lucky.
336
00:15:42.220 --> 00:15:44.480
I was one of those guys, I grew up with
337
00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:46.080
a kind of very normal family.
338
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:46.539
Yeah.
339
00:15:46.820 --> 00:15:48.070
You know, it was one of those families where you
340
00:15:48.110 --> 00:15:52.990
get past the baby. Yeah. So, whereas I know some
341
00:15:53.049 --> 00:15:55.409
people when they grow up and they have a baby,
342
00:15:55.450 --> 00:15:58.250
they're like really scared of it. It's like, oh no,
343
00:15:58.309 --> 00:16:02.259
you know what I mean? So that, I think, I
344
00:16:02.299 --> 00:16:03.549
just use that.
345
00:16:03.570 --> 00:16:05.450
It's so funny you say that because of the many
346
00:16:05.509 --> 00:16:07.210
things I want to talk to you about today. You
347
00:16:07.250 --> 00:16:08.889
seem very comfortable around babies.
348
00:16:09.350 --> 00:16:11.470
Yeah, I think so.
349
00:16:11.570 --> 00:16:14.700
Because that iconic photo of you, I think, with Mary
350
00:16:14.740 --> 00:16:17.379
in your jacket, that was so ahead of its time.
351
00:16:18.029 --> 00:16:21.759
Like you, a man carrying a baby. You just never
352
00:16:21.899 --> 00:16:23.679
saw it. You never saw it.
353
00:16:23.899 --> 00:16:26.360
I mean, that was just how we used to do it.
354
00:16:26.379 --> 00:16:29.379
You know, I used to go riding with her like that. Yeah.
355
00:16:29.419 --> 00:16:34.649
On the horse. I'm in the 70s. Well, she's now
356
00:16:34.970 --> 00:16:36.429
a mother of four boys.
357
00:16:36.450 --> 00:16:37.450
Oh, man.
358
00:16:37.509 --> 00:16:37.870
She's busy.
359
00:16:37.889 --> 00:16:39.309
That little baby in my jacket.
360
00:16:39.330 --> 00:16:39.830
Oh, God.
361
00:16:40.269 --> 00:16:42.799
Okay, well, Paul McCartney is here. You have such a
362
00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:46.519
wild life and timeline that it's kind of like intimidating
363
00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:48.299
to talk to you for just an hour and a half.
364
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:50.919
So if you'll bear with me, I'll probably jump around
365
00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:54.080
a lot. Okay. And the reason why is because I
366
00:16:54.220 --> 00:16:57.100
have this theory that you're a bit of a time traveler,
367
00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:59.919
I think. Do you believe in time travel?
368
00:17:00.340 --> 00:17:00.919
No. Oh.
369
00:17:01.980 --> 00:17:04.289
Then forget my theory. A little bit. I feel like
370
00:17:04.630 --> 00:17:07.170
sometimes I wasn't the age that I was. I felt
371
00:17:07.289 --> 00:17:08.009
older or younger.
372
00:17:08.029 --> 00:17:15.470
You can see someone about that. I mean, there's people
373
00:17:15.490 --> 00:17:18.569
to talk to. No, no, I kind of know what
374
00:17:18.589 --> 00:17:18.950
you mean.
375
00:17:19.009 --> 00:17:21.769
Yeah, like, I mean, I felt like, I feel like you're,
376
00:17:21.789 --> 00:17:25.119
I don't know, you seem, you seemed when you were
377
00:17:25.180 --> 00:17:29.859
young that you were older, if that makes any sense.
378
00:17:29.900 --> 00:17:33.359
No, it does really. And I used to look at
379
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:37.009
the lyrics of Yesterday. I'm not half the man I
380
00:17:37.150 --> 00:17:39.619
used to be. Suddenly, I'm not half the man I
381
00:17:39.619 --> 00:17:43.480
used to be. Well, I was like 21. So half
382
00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:45.440
the man would put me at like about 10 and
383
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:46.539
a half.
384
00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:49.619
You were writing When I'm 64 when you were 20-something.
385
00:17:49.700 --> 00:17:50.119
Yeah.
386
00:17:50.460 --> 00:17:52.720
And you were considered retired at 27.
387
00:17:52.700 --> 00:17:53.140
I guess....
388
00:17:58.569 --> 00:18:01.869
I'm interested in this idea of, do you feel like
389
00:18:01.890 --> 00:18:04.029
there's an age that you are? Do you feel like
390
00:18:04.049 --> 00:18:05.329
there's an age you feel?
391
00:18:06.210 --> 00:18:08.970
I kind of, I think like a lot of people,
392
00:18:09.069 --> 00:18:12.329
I mean, you sort of feel like you stop at
393
00:18:12.380 --> 00:18:18.599
about 25. Yeah. So I'm 25. Yeah. In my head. Yeah.
394
00:18:18.779 --> 00:18:20.839
You know, then I look in the mirror and go, no,
395
00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:26.069
you're not. Yeah, me too. You're old. Yeah. But yeah, no, I...
396
00:18:27.390 --> 00:18:31.259
I like that. I mean, in the Beatles, we used
397
00:18:31.299 --> 00:18:33.299
to have this sort of thing whenever there was like
398
00:18:33.339 --> 00:18:37.640
a
question about a piece of music or something to do,
399
00:18:37.660 --> 00:18:40.819
whether it would go on tour or whatever, and we
400
00:18:40.859 --> 00:18:43.990
couldn't figure out the answer. We'd say, what would we
401
00:18:44.029 --> 00:18:48.329
have thought when we were 17? What would that guy
402
00:18:48.369 --> 00:18:51.470
have said? We're not doing it. You know, because that
403
00:18:51.490 --> 00:18:54.200
guy wouldn't have let us do it. Yeah. And as
404
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.680
we grow up, we kind of go, okay, we'll do it.
405
00:18:57.119 --> 00:18:59.640
But it was better to listen to the 17-year-old.
406
00:18:59.779 --> 00:19:02.980
Because that 17-year-old was more definitive, like more like yes
407
00:19:03.049 --> 00:19:04.480
and no, like more black and white?
408
00:19:04.740 --> 00:19:10.869
I think he was just more sensible and less, you know,
409
00:19:10.930 --> 00:19:12.710
less jaded by the world.
410
00:19:12.950 --> 00:19:13.309
Yeah.
411
00:19:13.750 --> 00:19:15.849
He'd kind of say, that's a terrible jacket.
412
00:19:16.210 --> 00:19:16.589
Yeah.
413
00:19:16.769 --> 00:19:20.769
You know, whereas I would kind of, you know, later
414
00:19:20.849 --> 00:19:24.359
or maybe now, I'd sort of say, Yeah, it's a
415
00:19:24.420 --> 00:19:27.839
nice jacket or lying through my teeth.
416
00:19:28.259 --> 00:19:28.640
Totally.
417
00:19:28.660 --> 00:19:29.640
He wouldn't do that.
418
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:33.140
You're right, because I think we give a lot of
419
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:35.400
credence to the fact that when you get older, you
420
00:19:35.420 --> 00:19:37.700
get very wise and you have all this experience.
421
00:19:37.740 --> 00:19:38.309
But you're right.
422
00:19:38.430 --> 00:19:42.470
We do forget the strong, truthful opinions that we have
423
00:19:42.490 --> 00:19:43.069
when we're young.
424
00:19:43.349 --> 00:19:43.569
Yeah.
425
00:19:43.809 --> 00:19:47.130
I mean, I still kind of can't believe, Paul, that
426
00:19:47.569 --> 00:19:50.470
the Beatles broke up when you were 27 and You
427
00:19:50.490 --> 00:19:53.819
were only together for eight years. You made 13 albums.
428
00:19:54.579 --> 00:19:58.359
Those numbers are, are just really wild. It felt like
429
00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:01.339
when you were making music as a young person, it
430
00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:04.390
was like, you knew you were only going to be
431
00:20:04.430 --> 00:20:06.970
making music with this band for that long, is how
432
00:20:07.029 --> 00:20:07.410
it felt.
433
00:20:07.430 --> 00:20:09.680
Yeah, I don't think we knew it, but I think
434
00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:14.839
we didn't expect to go on for long.
435
00:20:15.220 --> 00:20:15.420
Right.
436
00:20:15.460 --> 00:20:18.880
Because people didn't. Right. You know, in this sort of
437
00:20:18.940 --> 00:20:22.460
rock and roll world, it was like, you know, five years,
438
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:27.710
top whack. Yeah. But then after five years, it was like, oh, no,
439
00:20:28.549 --> 00:20:30.329
we're doing Sgt. Pepper.
440
00:20:30.650 --> 00:20:30.930
Yeah.
441
00:20:30.950 --> 00:20:34.289
Oh, yeah, we could probably keep going. Yeah. And then,
442
00:20:34.349 --> 00:20:36.970
you know, we sort of did the White Album or whatever.
443
00:20:37.089 --> 00:20:37.390
Yeah.
444
00:20:37.690 --> 00:20:40.670
And then I did Wings and kept going.
445
00:20:40.869 --> 00:20:41.150
Yeah.
446
00:20:41.470 --> 00:20:45.250
And it is really interesting to talk to you because
447
00:20:45.269 --> 00:20:48.710
you're somebody that people feel like they know a lot about.
448
00:20:48.730 --> 00:20:53.130
And they feel... You know, you have been in their
449
00:20:53.210 --> 00:20:55.190
lives in a million different ways. I know you've been
450
00:20:55.210 --> 00:20:58.970
in mine my whole life. And in many ways, Paul,
451
00:20:59.009 --> 00:21:03.559
you kind of represent music. Like you represent songs. Like
452
00:21:03.630 --> 00:21:06.900
if songs were a person and we had to go,
453
00:21:07.059 --> 00:21:09.119
if we had to go into space and we had
454
00:21:09.140 --> 00:21:13.680
to bring one person to represent songs to the aliens,
455
00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:15.119
we would push you to the front.
456
00:21:15.140 --> 00:21:16.049
Yeah.
457
00:21:17.250 --> 00:21:17.789
Here he is.
458
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:24.380
Well, thank you. When are we leaving?
459
00:21:25.059 --> 00:21:26.619
Yeah, exactly. Let's go.
460
00:21:26.819 --> 00:21:27.160
Okay.
461
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:30.500
So I loved Morgan Neville's doc, Man on the Run.
462
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:31.160
Yeah.
463
00:21:31.299 --> 00:21:32.160
A beautiful doc.
464
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:32.799
Yeah.
465
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:33.579
Did you like it?
466
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:37.029
Yeah, I do. Yeah. I mean, when he showed it
467
00:21:37.049 --> 00:21:42.630
to me first off, I said, there's a few embarrassing bits.
468
00:21:43.250 --> 00:21:44.970
Should we take them out? Fun.
469
00:21:45.029 --> 00:21:45.869
What was embarrassing?
470
00:21:46.289 --> 00:21:49.809
I didn't realize that the farm we lived on was
471
00:21:49.849 --> 00:21:55.619
like so run down. It's a tip. You know, we
472
00:21:55.670 --> 00:21:58.720
were in love and we had a new baby and
473
00:21:58.740 --> 00:22:01.839
it was all great. And I was, you know, I
474
00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:05.119
could fix it up. No problem. I'll make a table.
475
00:22:06.029 --> 00:22:08.650
It was that kind of thing, so I didn't notice.
476
00:22:08.970 --> 00:22:11.509
When you see it in the film, it's like, you
477
00:22:11.549 --> 00:22:17.029
lived there? And you had some money? You chose to
478
00:22:17.089 --> 00:22:20.740
live in that? So that was a little bit embarrassing.
479
00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:24.539
I don't know, sometimes I don't know about you, sometimes
480
00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:28.720
I don't bother to think things through too seriously.
481
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:32.299
Well, that is always what we learn about you. There's
482
00:22:32.339 --> 00:22:35.019
so many things that I appreciate about you as an artist.
483
00:22:35.730 --> 00:22:37.819
One is you have a sense of humor about yourself
484
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:41.240
and your work, which is a sign not only of intelligence,
485
00:22:41.299 --> 00:22:44.579
but it allows us to enjoy it in many different
486
00:22:44.619 --> 00:22:47.059
kinds of ways, which is so nice. And also you
487
00:22:47.140 --> 00:22:50.380
really let us into your process. A lot of people
488
00:22:51.259 --> 00:22:54.339
like to keep people out of process because it keeps
489
00:22:54.380 --> 00:22:58.480
them mysterious or something. And I always felt like watching
490
00:22:58.519 --> 00:23:02.200
you work made me feel like I could write a song.
491
00:23:02.299 --> 00:23:06.099
It always made me feel connected to music. And that
492
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:09.779
documentary does that. It shows process. Peter Jackson's documentary, like
493
00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:11.819
the idea of process. And I love what you say
494
00:23:11.900 --> 00:23:16.049
about your work. When asked if you were a workaholic
495
00:23:16.230 --> 00:23:18.289
or you consider yourself one, you say, well, you don't
496
00:23:18.309 --> 00:23:20.630
work music. What do you say in response to that?
497
00:23:20.650 --> 00:23:22.569
Yeah, no, that's right. You know, people say, oh, you
498
00:23:22.650 --> 00:23:26.289
work a lot. You know, you're always working. I say,
499
00:23:26.450 --> 00:23:29.529
I'm not, you know. And I thought one day, well,
500
00:23:29.609 --> 00:23:33.210
we don't work music. We play music. So I'm like
501
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:38.539
a playaholic. I'm definitely addicted to that. Yeah. You know,
502
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:42.660
because I'm sure it's the same for you. I feel
503
00:23:42.700 --> 00:23:45.339
very lucky that this is my job.
504
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:45.759
Yes.
505
00:23:46.259 --> 00:23:51.430
You know, because when I left school, like my first
506
00:23:51.509 --> 00:23:54.950
job was coil winding in a factory.
507
00:23:55.109 --> 00:23:59.029
Okay. That sounds hot and hard. So what did you
508
00:23:59.049 --> 00:23:59.750
have to do?
509
00:23:59.829 --> 00:24:02.390
I was rugged. I was rugged.
510
00:24:03.740 --> 00:24:06.109
What do you have to do? Literally wind coil?
511
00:24:06.829 --> 00:24:07.170
Yeah.
512
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:11.819
So you have a big sort of wheel with coil.
513
00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:17.039
wire on it, comes through your legs, and you put
514
00:24:17.099 --> 00:24:21.599
it on like an armature thing and keep winding it.
515
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:26.089
And it's like a thing they have in motors. And
516
00:24:26.569 --> 00:24:30.549
mine weren't very good, you know. But the idea was
517
00:24:30.569 --> 00:24:32.809
they were going to take me through all the things
518
00:24:32.910 --> 00:24:36.910
and then I'd be manager. But one day John and
519
00:24:36.950 --> 00:24:41.839
George showed up, And one of the guys in the
520
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:44.799
factory said, there's some guys out there you don't want
521
00:24:44.819 --> 00:24:48.680
to see. So I went out. They said, we've got
522
00:24:48.700 --> 00:24:51.539
a gig. We've got a gig at the cavern.
523
00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:52.039
Yeah.
524
00:24:52.700 --> 00:24:56.079
So I said, let me think about it. You looked
525
00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:58.079
at the coil. Let me think. I looked at the coils.
526
00:24:58.460 --> 00:25:00.140
I looked at the pay packet.
527
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:00.880
Yeah.
528
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:07.109
£ 7. 15 a week. Mm-hmm. Gosh. And I can't believe I
529
00:25:07.329 --> 00:25:10.069
actually questioned it, but I did. I said, I'll get
530
00:25:10.109 --> 00:25:13.690
back to you. And yeah, and I did. And it
531
00:25:14.150 --> 00:25:17.690
gave up a career in coil winding management.
532
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:22.039
You would have been the coil winding representative that we
533
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:23.990
showed to the aliens if you had stuck with it.
534
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:26.079
Coil winding king.
535
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:28.579
George was how many years younger than you, Paul?
536
00:25:28.799 --> 00:25:31.710
I think like about one and a half. And I
537
00:25:31.750 --> 00:25:34.269
was one and a half years younger than John. Yeah.
538
00:25:34.740 --> 00:25:38.819
Did you feel, I mean, when we're older, that means nothing.
539
00:25:38.900 --> 00:25:43.109
But when we're young, it's really important. Did you feel
540
00:25:43.190 --> 00:25:45.650
like the middle child or the younger brother to John?
541
00:25:45.690 --> 00:25:47.450
And did George feel like a younger brother to you?
542
00:25:47.470 --> 00:25:54.650
I thought of George as younger, but he was so cocky. Yeah.
543
00:25:54.710 --> 00:25:57.869
He was, you know. You couldn't put George down. So
544
00:25:57.890 --> 00:26:03.309
he made himself older just by being very confident.
545
00:26:03.529 --> 00:26:04.589
Who was the tallest?
546
00:26:05.509 --> 00:26:06.869
We were all the same height.
547
00:26:06.990 --> 00:26:07.470
I know.
548
00:26:07.750 --> 00:26:10.190
You really were. You know I've got a thing about that,
549
00:26:10.269 --> 00:26:11.170
do you? No.
550
00:26:11.210 --> 00:26:12.109
Well, tell me more.
551
00:26:12.130 --> 00:26:15.690
Oh, my God. Well, we were all the same height
552
00:26:15.789 --> 00:26:19.349
and Ringo was a bit smaller. Sure. And if you
553
00:26:19.369 --> 00:26:23.640
look at photos, we're all the same height. But Sam
554
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:30.660
Taylor-Wood did a film called Nowhere Boy, and the John character,
555
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:32.339
who she later married, Aaron.
556
00:26:32.380 --> 00:26:34.859
Right, right, Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
557
00:26:35.079 --> 00:26:40.940
Yeah, he's bigger than me in the
film. My character
558
00:26:41.029 --> 00:26:48.490
is kind of wimpy, smaller than John. John knocks me
559
00:26:48.529 --> 00:26:53.710
to the floor. It's like, Sam. this is not true.
560
00:26:55.099 --> 00:26:59.619
And her only explanation, bless her, because she's still a
561
00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:03.980
good friend, she said, this is a movie, it's not
562
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:09.420
a documentary. And I thought, well, I don't like that explanation.
563
00:27:10.089 --> 00:27:13.250
But I couldn't do anything because by now she'd made
564
00:27:13.309 --> 00:27:19.450
the film. And there was I, little Paul, you know, John,
565
00:27:19.470 --> 00:27:23.210
the great big hero. And it's like, no, it's not true.
566
00:27:23.230 --> 00:27:25.789
I can't imagine what it's like to have people play you.
567
00:27:25.890 --> 00:27:27.670
I mean, it must be so strange. I mean, it's
568
00:27:27.690 --> 00:27:30.559
happening again. There's another film, Paul, the great Paul Meskel
569
00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:35.079
is playing you based on your life, obviously not taken
570
00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:38.599
directly from your life, but it must be strange to
571
00:27:38.619 --> 00:27:39.480
have people play you.
572
00:27:40.170 --> 00:27:44.380
Yeah, it is. It is. Yeah. And guess what? He's
573
00:27:44.490 --> 00:27:51.599
smaller than the guy who plays John. I said... Sam
574
00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:55.809
Mendes is making the... Yeah. I said, Sam, I've got
575
00:27:55.829 --> 00:27:59.750
just one thing I need to say to you. You know,
576
00:27:59.769 --> 00:28:04.329
Paul's a bit smaller than me... So I don't know
577
00:28:04.369 --> 00:28:07.430
how Sam's going to deal with it. But he sent
578
00:28:07.470 --> 00:28:11.250
me a picture, a still from the filming they were doing,
579
00:28:11.670 --> 00:28:14.049
and they're crossing the Abbey Road crossing.
580
00:28:14.170 --> 00:28:15.190
Yeah, I saw that too.
581
00:28:15.289 --> 00:28:19.329
And the Paul character is markedly smaller.
582
00:28:20.299 --> 00:28:22.150
And you can't put lifts on that bare feet.
583
00:28:22.170 --> 00:28:29.809
That's true. Maybe that's what it was. So I texted him, Sam! Sam! Smaller.
584
00:28:30.569 --> 00:28:34.450
Don't do this. You said you wouldn't do it. He said, no,
585
00:28:34.490 --> 00:28:36.930
it's okay. It's just a stride pattern. And he sent
586
00:28:36.970 --> 00:28:37.710
me another one.
587
00:28:37.769 --> 00:28:38.769
He's going to smush him.
588
00:28:38.910 --> 00:28:39.670
They were equal.
589
00:28:40.970 --> 00:28:44.839
But I guess the way in which you guys laughed
590
00:28:45.019 --> 00:28:49.900
at your competitive nature, we all, as Americans especially, we
591
00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:53.359
love because we love, that's what families do, I guess
592
00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:55.559
is what I'm trying to say, is families tease each
593
00:28:56.309 --> 00:28:59.000
And they can kind of come at each other in
594
00:28:59.059 --> 00:29:01.960
ways that other people can't. And that always felt like
595
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:04.339
the relationship you had with all of, and that you
596
00:29:04.380 --> 00:29:06.680
have with them still.
597
00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:11.569
Yeah, you know, the good thing was we grew up together.
598
00:29:11.730 --> 00:29:15.700
So there was like a family aspect. Yeah. Me and
599
00:29:15.740 --> 00:29:19.720
George went to the same school. Yeah. And John went
600
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:22.700
to the art college next door. Yeah. So we all
601
00:29:22.740 --> 00:29:26.140
kind of, and, you know, it took years for us
602
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:29.450
to kind of get any fame. Mm-hmm. So we were
603
00:29:29.490 --> 00:29:37.410
out in Hamburg schlepping around, playing, you know, not very
604
00:29:37.470 --> 00:29:40.740
nice little clubs. Yeah. We enjoyed it. Yeah. Because we
605
00:29:40.779 --> 00:29:44.660
were young kids in Hamburg, you know, this, wow. We'd
606
00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:50.789
never been abroad before, you know, so that was like. But, yeah,
607
00:29:50.829 --> 00:29:54.970
so that, when you know each other that well and
608
00:29:55.009 --> 00:29:58.470
you've been together that long, it does become like a family. Mm-hmm.
609
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:03.069
So then that finds its way into your writing and
610
00:30:03.369 --> 00:30:06.490
your work, you know, that I can tell what he's
611
00:30:06.509 --> 00:30:09.440
thinking or I can tell him that I didn't like
612
00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:13.140
that line. Yeah. Or he can tell me that sucks,
613
00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:17.480
you know, and, uh, So that's very good, as you know,
614
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:18.579
for writing.
615
00:30:18.740 --> 00:30:22.119
Well, and we're back to that 17-year-old, like, very blunt
616
00:30:22.220 --> 00:30:25.220
way of saying, this is good, this is bad, you
617
00:30:25.259 --> 00:30:28.019
shouldn't wear that, like, all that stuff. I mean, and
618
00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:31.380
I'm sure you know that as you get any level
619
00:30:31.420 --> 00:30:35.019
of success, sometimes people are afraid to give you real feedback.
620
00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:38.500
Yeah, that's a danger now. You know, people all say
621
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:41.380
to me when I'm working with a producer, they say,
622
00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:46.500
does he tell you if it's no good? Yeah. I'm
623
00:30:46.579 --> 00:30:48.460
not sure. Right.
624
00:30:48.500 --> 00:30:49.059
How could you know?
625
00:30:49.099 --> 00:30:54.519
Maybe he doesn't. I know. I think you find people
626
00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:58.589
who will tell you and stuff, but it must be
627
00:30:58.630 --> 00:31:00.549
hard for them. Yeah.
628
00:31:00.569 --> 00:31:01.730
I think so.
629
00:31:01.750 --> 00:31:04.329
Because you've got such a reputation. Right.
630
00:31:04.349 --> 00:31:05.970
To tell you a joke isn't funny.
631
00:31:10.059 --> 00:31:10.880
Would scare me.
632
00:31:11.099 -->
00:31:11.740
It should, good.
633
00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:12.619
Because it should.
634
00:31:13.740 --> 00:31:13.940
Good.
635
00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:17.650
That wasn't funny. It should.
636
00:31:18.950 --> 00:31:21.250
Yeah, I know what you mean. But you know what?
637
00:31:21.650 --> 00:31:25.579
I'm always so impressed by so many things that you do, Paul.
638
00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:29.809
But one of them is the idea of, continuing like
639
00:31:29.950 --> 00:31:33.509
onto the next, like what is the next adventure? Like,
640
00:31:34.150 --> 00:31:38.289
you know, you, you're always looking creatively, especially for ways
641
00:31:38.450 --> 00:31:41.009
to just continue to be inspired and to continue to
642
00:31:41.049 --> 00:31:43.710
work together. You have a new record, Boys of Dungeon Lane.
643
00:31:43.730 --> 00:31:44.750
Want to hear about it?
644
00:31:44.789 --> 00:31:47.410
Yeah, I do. I'm fascinated by your process of how
645
00:31:47.430 --> 00:31:49.039
you make music, how you write songs.
646
00:31:49.690 --> 00:31:52.799
I think the good thing is I'm fascinated too. I
647
00:31:52.859 --> 00:31:56.559
don't know I do a class in my old school
648
00:31:56.579 --> 00:32:01.099
that me and George went to in Liverpool. It's called Lipper.
649
00:32:01.869 --> 00:32:06.730
And I go there every year and do a class
650
00:32:06.789 --> 00:32:10.309
with the songwriting students. And the first thing I say
651
00:32:10.349 --> 00:32:13.230
to them when they come in one on one. So
652
00:32:13.269 --> 00:32:15.569
it's terrifying. for them.
653
00:32:15.589 --> 00:32:18.470
Oh, they come in one-on-one.
654
00:32:18.490 --> 00:32:22.670
They come in one-on-one with a guitar or a little
655
00:32:22.710 --> 00:32:26.130
piece of... Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I say, I say,
656
00:32:26.150 --> 00:32:28.210
come on, sit down. I say, I'm going to say this.
657
00:32:28.670 --> 00:32:31.430
I don't know how to do this. You know, I
658
00:32:31.670 --> 00:32:35.019
know I'm teaching you. I've no idea how you do
659
00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:38.019
it because your song is going to be different from
660
00:32:38.059 --> 00:32:40.519
mine and stuff. Then we work it through and they'll
661
00:32:40.539 --> 00:32:44.490
play me one of their songs. And then I will
662
00:32:44.549 --> 00:32:50.430
sort of say, that's very good. Or how about that
663
00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:54.779
second verse maybe good as an opening verse? Because I
664
00:32:54.819 --> 00:32:57.440
think it's a bit stronger. So I just take them
665
00:32:57.500 --> 00:33:01.660
through sort of gentle hints. Well, mainly by the time
666
00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:04.279
they get to me, they're pretty good. You know, they've
667
00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:08.299
done three years. And I don't know how to do it.
668
00:33:08.740 --> 00:33:12.769
That's the point. And I don't want to know, you know.
669
00:33:14.549 --> 00:33:17.210
I always just sit down with a guitar or at
670
00:33:17.250 --> 00:33:24.519
the piano and just start plonking something. And if I
671
00:33:24.579 --> 00:33:28.940
find something that sounds good, I just follow that. Yeah.
672
00:33:29.700 --> 00:33:34.029
That's not bad. That's not bad. Where could it go next? Well,
673
00:33:34.049 --> 00:33:37.299
it could stay there. You know, all that stuff. Yeah.
674
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:41.730
And then you learn in yourself. The natural thing to
675
00:33:41.769 --> 00:33:47.750
do is you move through the chords. Yeah. You know,
676
00:33:47.769 --> 00:33:56.000
or you can tell yourself, no, don't move. Stay there,
677
00:33:56.660 --> 00:34:00.299
you know. And there's all sorts of tricks that you
678
00:34:00.339 --> 00:34:05.039
can use. And there's so many little tricks like that.
679
00:34:05.609 --> 00:34:08.610
It just makes it fun for me. And then if
680
00:34:08.650 --> 00:34:13.670
you get a good opening line, that's a great thing.
681
00:34:14.570 --> 00:34:18.050
Because you kind of then know where you're going. And
682
00:34:18.179 --> 00:34:23.599
on Dungeon Lane, there's a song called Days We Left Behind,
683
00:34:24.300 --> 00:34:28.840
which is special for me. And I knew I had
684
00:34:28.860 --> 00:34:32.269
something special. when I.
685
00:34:34.750 --> 00:34:38.480
It was looking back. I'm thinking about looking back at
686
00:34:38.539 --> 00:34:41.860
photographs of the past. So you could say looking back
687
00:34:42.119 --> 00:34:45.809
at black and white photos. But I knew it was
688
00:34:45.849 --> 00:34:49.730
good when I said it. He said modestly. I said...
689
00:34:51.070 --> 00:34:54.369
looking back at white and black. So I just, the
690
00:34:54.409 --> 00:34:56.170
fact that I'd switched, it was not a black and
691
00:34:56.210 --> 00:35:00.530
white photo anymore. It's a white and black. So, and
692
00:35:00.650 --> 00:35:03.610
obviously it rhymes. So looking back at white and black
693
00:35:03.909 --> 00:35:08.519
reminders of the past or whatever, I just thought, oh, okay. Yeah.
694
00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:14.179
So you're looking at photos and you go there, just
695
00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:16.500
let's see what you remember.
696
00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:18.360
Yeah, yeah.
697
00:35:18.380 --> 00:35:22.500
And... And it's nice. I have a lot of good memories.
698
00:35:22.980 --> 00:35:25.750
When you hear a song that you've written, you've written
699
00:35:25.789 --> 00:35:29.070
so many, do you remember the making of that song
700
00:35:29.110 --> 00:35:30.969
when you hear it? Do you remember the writing of it?
701
00:35:31.469 --> 00:35:31.769
Do you know?
702
00:35:31.849 --> 00:35:35.880
Yeah. A lot of the time I do, yeah.
703
00:35:36.019 --> 00:35:37.969
The process of making it when you hear it?
704
00:35:38.300 --> 00:35:43.480
A lot of the time. Sometimes it is crazy because...
705
00:35:43.730 --> 00:35:50.639
They have a Beatles channel on Sirius. Yes. And if I'm,
706
00:35:51.539 --> 00:35:54.539
you know, hiring
a car, my driver will like, he
707
00:35:54.579 --> 00:36:06.690
knows to have it on. That's a good channel. But
708
00:36:07.289 --> 00:36:10.010
normally it's quite quiet so you can talk and things
709
00:36:10.050 --> 00:36:12.599
and then I'll hear something. Yeah. And say, oh, wait
710
00:36:12.619 --> 00:36:16.380
a minute, turn this one up. And talking about remembering
711
00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:20.159
writing the song, he turned one up because I couldn't
712
00:36:20.340 --> 00:36:24.090
remember what the title was. I thought, oh, what's this one?
713
00:36:24.610 --> 00:36:27.869
And then he played. I couldn't even remember the song. Yeah.
714
00:36:28.349 --> 00:36:33.150
It had just come and gone so fast. Yeah. So, yeah,
715
00:36:33.230 --> 00:36:35.530
I don't always remember them, but a lot of them
716
00:36:36.409 --> 00:36:43.530
I do. I have pretty strong memories of. Yeah, like
717
00:36:43.659 --> 00:36:50.159
a Mollick and Tire wing song that was very successful. Bagpipe.
718
00:36:50.480 --> 00:36:55.679
I loved seeing that in the doc, watching you make
719
00:36:55.719 --> 00:37:00.480
that song. And also in the doc, learning about how
720
00:37:01.059 --> 00:37:05.880
wings came together and your intention behind bringing people together,
721
00:37:05.940 --> 00:37:08.539
which was really interesting. And for me, it was the
722
00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:12.199
first time I heard you speak about how important it
723
00:37:12.260 --> 00:37:14.420
was for you to feel like part of a group.
724
00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:17.500
Like you like being around people and you like being
725
00:37:17.559 --> 00:37:19.159
part of a group, an ensemble.
726
00:37:19.579 --> 00:37:19.840
Yeah.
727
00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:21.110
What do you like about it?
728
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:27.929
Just the companionship, just the friendship. Yeah. And the other opinion.
729
00:37:28.530 --> 00:37:28.849
Yeah.
730
00:37:28.929 --> 00:37:31.829
You know, having another opinion in the room, kind of another.
731
00:37:31.849 --> 00:37:38.460
I like that. I mainly just playing together. Yeah. You know,
732
00:37:38.500 --> 00:37:40.360
it's like kids in kindergarten.
733
00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:43.489
Yeah, the word play is back again. Like, do you
734
00:37:43.630 --> 00:37:46.329
have a pre-show ritual? Do you do anything always? Like,
735
00:37:46.349 --> 00:37:51.409
do you not eat two hours before the show? Do
736
00:37:51.429 --> 00:37:53.789
you have a superstition?
737
00:37:53.809 --> 00:37:57.659
Not really. I do have a ritual.
738
00:37:58.079 --> 00:37:59.960
What is it? Would you tell us what it is?
739
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:02.619
What is it? Okay, yeah. Okay, here we go. Well,
740
00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:05.340
I don't eat. You know, I have like lunch sometimes.
741
00:38:05.619 --> 00:38:07.579
Let's even back up further. What time were you going
742
00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:09.500
to bed the night before?
743
00:38:09.559 --> 00:38:12.789
The night
before? I don't know. Random. Oh, God.
744
00:38:12.829 --> 00:38:13.690
It doesn't matter.
745
00:38:13.730 --> 00:38:15.829
You musicians with your bedtime.
746
00:38:15.869 --> 00:38:17.409
Just a crazy bunch.
747
00:38:17.469 --> 00:38:19.250
Just a crazy bunch.
748
00:38:19.269 --> 00:38:21.829
No, I don't think about that. That's normally... I mean,
749
00:38:21.849 --> 00:38:23.050
it's normally not too late.
750
00:38:23.190 --> 00:38:23.449
Okay.
751
00:38:23.469 --> 00:38:25.909
It's not too crazy. Probably if it was six in
752
00:38:25.949 --> 00:38:29.050
the morning, we'd gone right through. I probably would worry
753
00:38:29.110 --> 00:38:29.340
a bit.
754
00:38:29.510 --> 00:38:29.780
Yeah.
755
00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:32.179
But no, it's kind of normal bedtime, I think.
756
00:38:32.199 --> 00:38:32.460
Okay.
757
00:38:32.980 --> 00:38:33.420
Then.
758
00:38:34.659 --> 00:38:37.500
Yeah, I get up, I just have my breakfast.
759
00:38:37.940 --> 00:38:38.880
What's your breakfast?
760
00:38:39.139 --> 00:38:39.639
Breakfast.
761
00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:42.000
How do you take your tea?
762
00:38:42.280 --> 00:38:45.300
It's really kind of boring because it's always the same.
763
00:38:45.980 --> 00:38:49.940
It's like cereal, beer cereal, not too much, just a
764
00:38:50.019 --> 00:38:56.320
little bit. Berries.
765
00:38:56.659 --> 00:38:58.510
Yeah, that's the superfood.
766
00:38:59.010 --> 00:38:59.300
Berries.
767
00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:00.360
You've got to bury it up.
768
00:39:00.550 --> 00:39:06.000
Five raspberries. Whoa. Got to be five. Looks good. Don't, don't, don't, don't.
769
00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:10.659
One in the middle. Handful of blueberries.
770
00:39:10.760 --> 00:39:13.139
Oh, yeah. The blueberries are just really, really.
771
00:39:13.159 --> 00:39:17.989
Chuck them in. Chuck them in. And the strawberry, which
772
00:39:18.090 --> 00:39:19.929
I cut up. Uh-huh.
773
00:39:20.090 --> 00:39:20.710
Meditative.
774
00:39:23.449 --> 00:39:24.739
Are we really doing this? We are.
775
00:39:24.750 --> 00:39:26.170
We're going to do another hour of this.
776
00:39:26.210 --> 00:39:28.449
This is great. Recipe breakfast.
777
00:39:28.489 --> 00:39:29.510
Do you take coffee or tea?
778
00:39:30.340 --> 00:39:33.519
No. In the morning, it's just water.
779
00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:36.500
No caffeine?
780
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:40.929
No, I'm not a big coffee person. Really? Yeah, no,
781
00:39:40.949 --> 00:39:41.489
I'm English.
782
00:39:42.190 --> 00:39:44.409
But the tea all day long.
783
00:39:44.429 --> 00:39:47.090
A lot of people, you know, my kids drink coffee
784
00:39:47.730 --> 00:39:50.949
quite a lot. I will have like one coffee in
785
00:39:50.969 --> 00:39:57.230
the middle of the day sometime, often. So that's my breakfast.
786
00:39:57.570 --> 00:39:59.789
Add a few pecans and a few raisins.
787
00:39:59.849 --> 00:40:00.909
If you want to party.
788
00:40:01.829 --> 00:40:06.699
Yeah. And then there's a very specific lunch.
789
00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:08.650
Okay, let's hear it.
790
00:40:08.659 --> 00:40:09.599
It's a gig lunch.
791
00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:11.780
Oh, yeah, a gig lunch.
792
00:40:11.800 --> 00:40:12.960
No, it's gig day lunch.
793
00:40:13.099 --> 00:40:14.000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
794
00:40:14.059 --> 00:40:15.360
For me. Yeah.
795
00:40:15.619 --> 00:40:18.590
Because, I mean, being on stage... I've talked to a
796
00:40:18.610 --> 00:40:22.269
lot of performers who just being in front of an
797
00:40:22.369 --> 00:40:26.469
audience is so physical and you have been on stage
798
00:40:26.510 --> 00:40:29.400
for most of your adult life in all different stages
799
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:32.980
with different types of people and in different shows. What is,
800
00:40:33.219 --> 00:40:36.340
what's the thing now that you're loving about being on stage?
801
00:40:36.380 --> 00:40:38.000
Like what, what does it look like to be on
802
00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:40.869
stage now? I mean, For example, we've got like Bruce
803
00:40:41.050 --> 00:40:44.500
still doing three-hour shows. We have Taylor Swift doing three-hour shows.
804
00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:47.079
It's like a lot of expectation for people to do
805
00:40:47.159 --> 00:40:48.179
long shows.
806
00:40:48.699 --> 00:40:51.659
I know. I blame him. I've told him.
807
00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:52.539
I know.
808
00:40:52.659 --> 00:40:54.880
I said, it's your bloody fault, mate. I know. We
809
00:40:54.900 --> 00:40:59.179
used to do like an hour. Stones still do something
810
00:40:59.219 --> 00:41:03.590
like an hour or so. Yeah. Old school. But now
811
00:41:03.670 --> 00:41:08.250
Bruce just suddenly doing these three, four-hour things. Yeah. So
812
00:41:08.289 --> 00:41:09.789
that's what we do. You do.
813
00:41:09.809 --> 00:41:10.389
I know.
814
00:41:10.809 --> 00:41:13.949
You know what I love, though? The audience. Yeah. That's
815
00:41:14.030 --> 00:41:15.280
what it's all about.
816
00:41:15.340 --> 00:41:16.760
Yeah.
817
00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:24.280
And my audiences, touch wood, are very loving people. It's
818
00:41:24.530 --> 00:41:28.639
so warm. Yeah. You know, they're just so cool. And
819
00:41:28.760 --> 00:41:33.760
all ages. Yeah. That's the amazing thing. I always expected
820
00:41:33.840 --> 00:41:37.940
them to be my age or slightly younger or whatever.
821
00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:42.739
But it's not like that. There's a lot of young kids. Yeah.
822
00:41:43.519 --> 00:41:46.059
Well, you're every favorite artist's favorite artist.
823
00:41:46.780 --> 00:41:47.099
Wow.
824
00:41:47.420 --> 00:41:47.860
You are.
825
00:41:48.690 --> 00:41:52.190
And is there any music right now that you listen
826
00:41:52.210 --> 00:41:53.849
to and you think, I wish I wrote that?
827
00:41:56.389 --> 00:42:03.230
No. Very good. Not really. There are some people I
828
00:42:03.369 --> 00:42:08.849
think are really good. You know, like Billie Eilish I
829
00:42:08.889
--> 00:42:12.070
think is cool, but I don't think I want to
830
00:42:12.139 --> 00:42:15.519
have written her songs. Right. And also a lot of
831
00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:17.460
songs these days are breakup songs.
832
00:42:18.110 --> 00:42:18.489
Yeah.
833
00:42:18.809 --> 00:42:20.570
And I'm married.
834
00:42:21.590 --> 00:42:26.030
Right. You're in love with a beautiful woman and you
835
00:42:26.070 --> 00:42:28.019
have a fantastic breakfast.
836
00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:31.119
Yeah.
837
00:42:31.139 --> 00:42:32.119
Yeah, yeah.
838
00:42:33.440 --> 00:42:39.340
That's true. No, so, no, I don't think there used
839
00:42:39.380 --> 00:42:41.869
to be songs. Like I used to want to have
840
00:42:42.230 --> 00:42:47.170
written one of Billy Joel's songs, The Way You Are.
841
00:42:47.510 --> 00:42:48.010
Yeah.
842
00:42:48.219 --> 00:42:50.389
I always thought that was like the kind of thing
843
00:42:50.489 --> 00:42:55.170
I could have written. Yeah. I think that's a nice song. Nowadays, it's,
844
00:42:55.929 --> 00:43:04.809
I'll tell you what, some of them are like very banal. Yeah.
845
00:43:05.829 --> 00:43:09.280
I want your ooh, ooh.
846
00:43:09.570 --> 00:43:12.360
I want it ooh, ooh.
847
00:43:13.699 --> 00:43:16.579
This could be a hit. And then you go, but
848
00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:17.900
then you got to do the moves.
849
00:43:19.219 --> 00:43:21.320
You got to do the TikTok dance with it. Yeah.
850
00:43:21.380 --> 00:43:22.000
Yeah.
851
00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:26.150
This from the, this from the man that gave us,
852
00:43:26.449 --> 00:43:27.090
she loves you.
853
00:43:27.130 --> 00:43:27.409
Yeah.
854
00:43:27.449 --> 00:43:29.889
Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
855
00:43:30.010 --> 00:43:35.090
I mean, doth protest. I bet you've been able to
856
00:43:35.110 --> 00:43:38.010
collaborate with mostly everybody that you've wanted to collaborate at
857
00:43:38.070 --> 00:43:40.420
some point. Is there anybody that you still wish to
858
00:43:40.440 --> 00:43:41.079
collaborate with?
859
00:43:42.670 --> 00:43:45.980
No, I get asked this question and I always think
860
00:43:46.300 --> 00:43:46.940
Bob Dylan.
861
00:43:47.280 --> 00:43:47.639
Yeah.
862
00:43:48.000 --> 00:43:54.570
But I'm too nervous. Yeah. To ring him up. Bob. Bob.
863
00:43:56.579 --> 00:43:58.960
It is Paul. Yeah.
864
00:43:59.099 --> 00:44:01.110
I can't even picture him being on the telephone, Bob.
865
00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:01.639
No.
866
00:44:02.050 --> 00:44:03.050
I can't actually.
867
00:44:02.829 --> 00:44:03.570
Picture him using.
868
00:44:03.650 --> 00:44:05.329
No, he's in some bush somewhere.
869
00:44:05.369 --> 00:44:06.309
Yeah, he's in a bush, exactly.
870
00:44:06.329 --> 00:44:07.750
Yep, he's writing in a journal.
871
00:44:07.769 --> 00:44:10.210
In a sleeping bag, maybe.
872
00:44:10.309 --> 00:44:11.550
Yes, yeah.
873
00:44:12.650 --> 00:44:15.250
Who was the first famous person that you met?
874
00:44:16.469 --> 00:44:17.489
First famous person?
875
00:44:17.530 --> 00:44:20.889
When you were young, starting out, who was... Remember, did
876
00:44:20.909 --> 00:44:23.159
you meet someone who you wanted their autograph or you
877
00:44:23.179 --> 00:44:25.340
were blown away that you knew that they were a
878
00:44:25.380 --> 00:44:26.019
famous person?
879
00:44:26.389 --> 00:44:32.070
The queen. Whoa. And that's an autograph you're not going
880
00:44:32.090 --> 00:44:35.250
to get. No, she's great. I love the queen.
881
00:44:35.710 --> 00:44:36.909
I love the queen too.
882
00:44:37.130 --> 00:44:42.369
I really, well, you know, what happened was she was crowned.
883
00:44:43.590 --> 00:44:48.789
She's a doll. She was crowned when I was 11. So...
884
00:44:51.679 --> 00:44:55.099
And she was a babe. Yeah. You know, when I
885
00:44:55.139 --> 00:44:57.619
was 11, she was like 23 or something, you know.
886
00:44:58.010 --> 00:45:01.590
So we all used to think, wow, this is amazing,
887
00:45:01.610 --> 00:45:03.710
you know, like. Yeah. You know, having a king because
888
00:45:03.730 --> 00:45:08.090
he's got this. girl. Yeah. This babe. So we kind
889
00:45:08.150 --> 00:45:12.090
of liked her in other ways than we shouldn't have
890
00:45:12.159 --> 00:45:12.510
liked her.
891
00:45:12.679 --> 00:45:12.880
Right.
892
00:45:12.900 --> 00:45:13.920
You know what I mean?
893
00:45:13.960 --> 00:45:14.599
Right, right.
894
00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:18.340
So yeah, so meeting her was special.
895
00:45:18.380 --> 00:45:20.380
How old were you when you met her?
896
00:45:20.440 --> 00:45:25.449
Probably about 21 or something. Yeah. Wow. Nancy, my wife now,
897
00:45:25.510 --> 00:45:29.610
she says she fancied you. Now there's no knowing if
898
00:45:29.650 --> 00:45:32.570
there's any truth to that. But let's just.
899
00:45:32.289 --> 00:45:33.050
Say it's true.
900
00:45:33.110 --> 00:45:33.670
Yeah.
901
00:45:33.710 --> 00:45:34.769
Let's say it's true.
902
00:45:34.789 --> 00:45:35.909
I like to think it's true.
903
00:45:35.929 --> 00:45:38.489
And I think she would, not to speak for the queen,
904
00:45:38.550 --> 00:45:42.719
but I will. I would think she would enjoy Nancy
905
00:45:42.760 --> 00:45:45.420
saying that. I think she would get a laugh out
906
00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:46.920
of that. Like she would enjoy that.
907
00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:49.739
Well, she was a laugh. Yeah. That's one of the
908
00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:52.360
things I liked about her. She had a good sense
909
00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:58.099
of humor. And yeah, I was very happy that, you know,
910
00:45:58.139 --> 00:46:01.639
sometimes you don't get the queen if you're getting an honor. Yeah.
911
00:46:01.679 --> 00:46:04.820
Like you're getting a knighthood. You don't always get the queen.
912
00:46:04.900 --> 00:46:07.480
I was very lucky. I got the queen all the time.
913
00:46:07.500 --> 00:46:09.860
Well, she made sure she was there.
914
00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:11.960
Wow. Well, that's what Nancy would say.
915
00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:14.900
She looked at her. She looked at Nancy's nose. She
916
00:46:14.940 --> 00:46:18.320
looked at her planner and she was like, mm-hmm, two o'clock.
917
00:46:18.880 --> 00:46:20.380
I'm going to make myself available.
918
00:46:20.420 --> 00:46:20.960
I'll do him.
919
00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:23.900
I'm going to put the sword. I'll do the sword thing.
920
00:46:24.460 --> 00:46:25.159
That's what she said.
921
00:46:25.219 --> 00:46:28.300
The sword was Edward the Confessor.
922
00:46:28.579 --> 00:46:29.480
The name of the sword?
923
00:46:29.840 --> 00:46:33.440
Yeah. I mean- British history, there was a king called
924
00:46:33.639 --> 00:46:39.489
Edward the Confessor. Wow. At least it wasn't Æthelred the Unready.
925
00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:44.050
But talk about, again, like time travel, which you don't
926
00:46:44.090 --> 00:46:47.230
believe in, but I believe in for you. But you're 21,
927
00:46:47.210 --> 00:46:50.969
you meet the queen, just speed, you know, however many
928
00:46:50.989 --> 00:46:54.369
years later, and you're getting knighted by her. Such a
929
00:46:54.670 --> 00:46:55.630
wild life, Paul.
930
00:46:55.650 --> 00:46:56.210
Yeah, I know. I know.
931
00:46:56.489 --> 00:46:58.360
I know. No, really.
932
00:46:59.090 --> 00:47:02.929
Wow. And believe me, I agree with that.
933
00:47:03.190 --> 00:47:04.289
Yeah.
934
00:47:04.530 --> 00:47:07.650
I mean, life itself anyway for most people is wild.
935
00:47:07.750 --> 00:47:09.829
Yes, life is wild no matter what.
936
00:47:09.889 --> 00:47:14.710
My particular kind of life has been very wild up
937
00:47:14.789 --> 00:47:17.010
to this point and continues to be wild. Look at
938
00:47:17.030 --> 00:47:17.429
me here.
939
00:47:17.670 --> 00:47:17.949
Yeah.
940
00:47:18.289 --> 00:47:19.369
I'm doing your show.
941
00:47:19.510 --> 00:47:23.320
It's like the queen. It's like being with the queen.
942
00:47:23.389 --> 00:47:24.760
It's not quite queen level.
943
00:47:24.800 --> 00:47:26.940
No, not quite yet. Not quite.
944
00:47:27.280 --> 00:47:28.679
It's very impressive.
945
00:47:38.800 --> 00:47:42.559
Also, and then I'll move off of this theme that
946
00:47:42.579 --> 00:47:48.480
I'm very clumsily trying to connect. But what also I
947
00:47:48.519 --> 00:47:51.099
love about your work, Chrissy Hynde says this in the
948
00:47:51.139 --> 00:47:54.559
documentary about you. Can we just talk about Chrissy Hynde.
949
00:47:54.340 --> 00:47:54.719
For a second?
950
00:47:54.739 --> 00:47:55.360
We love Chrissy.
951
00:47:55.380 --> 00:47:55.539
Fuck.
952
00:47:56.730 --> 00:47:57.789
She's a dude.
953
00:47:57.989 --> 00:47:59.969
Tell me how you met Chrissy. You and Linda were
954
00:47:59.989 --> 00:48:01.369
really good friends with Chrissy.
955
00:48:01.710 --> 00:48:02.030
Yeah.
956
00:48:02.190 --> 00:48:03.670
Tell us how you met Chrissy Hynde.
957
00:48:03.730 --> 00:48:08.619
What a genius. In a recording studio in London,
Air
958
00:48:08.699 --> 00:48:11.860
London it was called. And there were a lot of studios,
959
00:48:11.940 --> 00:48:14.980
so you meet the people who were in the other studios,
960
00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:15.480
you know.
961
00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:15.840
Yeah.
962
00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:18.590
And she was just walking down the corridor. And she
963
00:48:18.610 --> 00:48:21.449
was very moody with her hair down and sort of
964
00:48:21.489 --> 00:48:27.480
wouldn't look at you, you know. Yeah. But Linda was... didn't,
965
00:48:28.239 --> 00:48:31.139
you know, do that. She would approach you. Hi, how
966
00:48:31.239 --> 00:48:36.820
are you doing? And they got talking. And so we
967
00:48:36.860 --> 00:48:42.340
met her and Chrissy stopped being so moody and just
968
00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:45.579
talked to us. And we had a lot of stuff
969
00:48:45.639 --> 00:48:51.730
in common. She's like a crazy vegetarian. So we had
970
00:48:51.789 --> 00:48:58.079
that in common and Linda was very outspoken. On that subject.
971
00:48:59.420 --> 00:49:04.429
To the point where if it hadn't been her, it
972
00:49:04.489 --> 00:49:08.550
would have been embarrassing. You know, if you're at a
973
00:49:08.550 --> 00:49:12.610
dinner party and someone's eating meat, she would, like, give
974
00:49:12.639 --> 00:49:17.960
them trouble over it. You know what you're eating? Yeah, well,
975
00:49:18.099 --> 00:49:21.230
I know, you know, but... It's mommy loved it.
976
00:49:22.619 --> 00:49:28.610
Yeah. Ahead of her time, very ahead. You were both
977
00:49:28.650 --> 00:49:28.949
ahead of.
978
00:49:29.150 --> 00:49:32.989
Yeah, she had this kind of Disney-esque view of animals.
979
00:49:33.969 --> 00:49:34.409
So the.
980
00:49:36.639 --> 00:49:39.869
If we saw like a frog in a garden or something,
981
00:49:39.889 --> 00:49:44.230
she'd pick it up. And, you know, not every girl would.
982
00:49:44.730 --> 00:49:45.610
Yeah.
983
00:49:45.730 --> 00:49:48.909
She'd pick it up. And the way, I'm getting emotional,
984
00:49:49.409 --> 00:49:59.920
but the way she would hold it, it wouldn't hurt it. And, yeah. Yeah, beautiful. Beautiful.
985
00:50:04.219 --> 00:50:06.380
And she would say, you know, it's when we loved it.
986
00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:09.260
And even as a frog. Yeah. She was like a
987
00:50:09.300 --> 00:50:11.239
Disney frog to her.
988
00:50:11.539 --> 00:50:14.599
I loved learning more about you and Linda in that documentary.
989
00:50:15.199 --> 00:50:18.809
I loved watching you two work together and be together.
990
00:50:18.889 --> 00:50:24.489
It was really a testament to just what respectful, beautiful,
991
00:50:25.090 --> 00:50:26.170
mutual love looks like.
992
00:50:26.190 --> 00:50:30.679
Yeah. She was something else.
993
00:50:31.380 --> 00:50:31.579
Yeah.
994
00:50:31.760 --> 00:50:33.539
A tough, tough lady. Yeah.
995
00:50:34.699 --> 00:50:35.929
Look, I have good hang tissues.
996
00:50:36.050 --> 00:50:39.659
Thank you, ma'am. Yeah.
997
00:50:40.260 --> 00:50:43.780
I want to talk about your family life and just
998
00:50:43.880 --> 00:50:46.300
how family is important to you because I have the
999
00:50:46.679 --> 00:50:49.119
pleasure and privilege of getting to know some of your family.
1000
00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:53.199
But as we move off the Beatles, although we never will,
1001
00:50:53.420 --> 00:50:56.340
but as we move off the Beatles for this conversation,
1002
00:50:57.280 --> 00:51:01.599
what is your relationship now like with George and John?
1003
00:51:02.289 --> 00:51:05.909
and Ringo, some are here, some are not, but relationships,
1004
00:51:06.380 --> 00:51:09.219
as we know with Linda, like people that, with your mom,
1005
00:51:09.260 --> 00:51:12.059
people that you lose, they're always with you, they just,
1006
00:51:12.139 --> 00:51:15.500
your relationship changes with them. What is your relationship now
1007
00:51:15.559 --> 00:51:17.519
like with those men?
1008
00:51:18.599 --> 00:51:21.719
I'm a fan, you know, and the more we go on,
1009
00:51:21.780 --> 00:51:26.349
I'm a bigger fan. I'm like a Beatles fan, you know,
1010
00:51:27.469 --> 00:51:30.110
just because, like I say, you know, I'll just hear
1011
00:51:30.170 --> 00:51:35.530
something that we did and I'll remember writing it with
1012
00:51:35.570 --> 00:51:39.340
John and think, wow, I was really lucky. You know,
1013
00:51:39.380 --> 00:51:42.539
this is amazing. I'm sitting down writing with someone and
1014
00:51:42.579 --> 00:51:46.639
he happens to be John Lennon. And I think the
1015
00:51:46.679 --> 00:51:50.760
same for him with me. He's sitting down and the
1016
00:51:50.780 --> 00:51:56.840
guy who's talking about his work is me. So yeah,
1017
00:51:56.880 --> 00:52:02.239
so I'm a fan. And, you know, I think I've
1018
00:52:02.420 --> 00:52:08.599
become more of a fan the more I think about them. And, yeah,
1019
00:52:08.619 --> 00:52:12.820
you know, George, for instance, how I met George was
1020
00:52:12.920 --> 00:52:16.000
on the school bus. I used to get on one stop,
1021
00:52:16.519 --> 00:52:23.239
these big double-decker green buses. It was about a half-hour
1022
00:52:23.320 --> 00:52:26.639
journey from where we lived to the school. So I
1023
00:52:26.679 --> 00:52:28.590
would get on at one stop, and then at the
1024
00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:32.199
next stop, Georgia get on. And we wore the same
1025
00:52:32.280 --> 00:52:35.750
school uniform, so we kind of could relate some way.
1026
00:52:36.590 --> 00:52:41.010
And sometimes we'd sit next to each other and we'd
1027
00:52:41.030 --> 00:52:43.269
talk about guitars and rock and roll. It's in one
1028
00:52:43.289 --> 00:52:47.989
of the songs on the Dungeon Lane album, actually. Oh, really? Yeah,
1029
00:52:48.030 --> 00:52:52.820
there's one song called Down South, and it's about how
1030
00:52:52.860 --> 00:52:57.460
we met on the school bus. And we talked about
1031
00:52:57.519 -->
00:53:01.820
rock and roll and guitars and all that sort of stuff.
1032
00:53:02.860 --> 00:53:05.989
So that was great. We became friends over that. And
1033
00:53:06.010 --> 00:53:10.610
then when we were looking for another guitar player, John
1034
00:53:10.650 --> 00:53:13.829
was kind of interested in getting another guy in. I
1035
00:53:13.889 --> 00:53:16.019
put George up. And I sort of said, I got
1036
00:53:16.059 --> 00:53:20.980
this little mate, you know, he's little. He wasn't physically little,
1037
00:53:21.000 --> 00:53:21.800
but he's young.
1038
00:53:22.360 --> 00:53:22.780
Yeah.
1039
00:53:23.059 --> 00:53:27.420
And that could be a problem. But it wasn't a problem.
1040
00:53:27.800 --> 00:53:31.610
And he played great guitar. John was so impressed. And
1041
00:53:31.659 --> 00:53:34.929
so George joins the group. So that was that period.
1042
00:53:35.309 --> 00:53:38.969
But then looking at George's life and how he grew. Yeah.
1043
00:53:39.809 --> 00:53:47.230
And my gosh, you know, I became spiritual. It was
1044
00:53:47.329 --> 00:53:48.090
pretty amazing.
1045
00:53:48.369 --> 00:53:50.809
Do you have a spiritual practice, Paul? Do you feel
1046
00:53:50.849 --> 00:53:52.010
like you're a spiritual person?
1047
00:53:52.630 --> 00:53:56.130
I don't have like a practice so much. I meditate.
1048
00:53:56.969 --> 00:54:01.780
And no, I sort of believe in a power. I
1049
00:54:02.699 --> 00:54:06.219
don't know what he or she is. Well, I know
1050
00:54:06.260 --> 00:54:11.760
there's something there and I feel. And I often do
1051
00:54:11.820 --> 00:54:13.260
that thing, you know, the secret dance.
1052
00:54:13.789 --> 00:54:14.230
Oh, yeah.
1053
00:54:14.510 --> 00:54:14.889
Hey.
1054
00:54:14.989 --> 00:54:16.670
I got really into that for a minute.
1055
00:54:17.010 --> 00:54:19.630
Yeah. Well, I'm still into it.
1056
00:54:19.630 --> 00:54:22.349
I mean, you probably were on my vision board, and
1057
00:54:22.409 --> 00:54:23.699
here I am talking to you.
1058
00:54:23.719 --> 00:54:25.699
Oh, I just know the simple version.
1059
00:54:25.739 --> 00:54:26.440
Yeah, yeah.
1060
00:54:26.500 --> 00:54:29.199
But, Paul, we feel that in your art, like the
1061
00:54:29.320 --> 00:54:32.380
idea that you're tuning into a channel, like an open channel.
1062
00:54:32.440 --> 00:54:35.539
And it's not optimism, which it kind of flattens it out.
1063
00:54:35.659 --> 00:54:38.219
It's just the idea of, like, there's possibilities. You've got
1064
00:54:38.239 --> 00:54:39.929
to keep yourself open to possibilities.
1065
00:54:39.949 --> 00:54:40.510
Yeah.
1066
00:54:40.860 --> 00:54:42.760
I feel that way when you talk about your work,
1067
00:54:42.820 --> 00:54:44.300
and I do feel that way when you talk about
1068
00:54:44.360 --> 00:54:49.760
your family. Family was so important to you, building one,
1069
00:54:50.039 --> 00:54:52.559
whether it be with the people you're playing with, with
1070
00:54:52.579 --> 00:54:56.949
the people in your life. I love that you've led
1071
00:54:57.010 --> 00:55:01.289
us into how you believe in love.
1072
00:55:01.429 --> 00:55:02.510
I do.
1073
00:55:03.730 --> 00:55:07.650
You do believe in love, and you can tell by
1074
00:55:07.690 --> 00:55:10.789
how you live your life. And congratulations to you and
1075
00:55:10.809 --> 00:55:16.329
Linda for raising great kids. Really talented, kind, funny kids.
1076
00:55:18.150 --> 00:55:19.130
Really great children.
1077
00:55:19.150 --> 00:55:22.010
Oh, thank you. Yeah. No, they are great. You know,
1078
00:55:22.949 --> 00:55:24.940
it's important to me. And the thing is, you know,
1079
00:55:24.949 --> 00:55:28.659
I'm not really that different from a lot of dads.
1080
00:55:29.739 --> 00:55:32.300
There's a lot of people out there. I mean, okay,
1081
00:55:32.380 --> 00:55:33.940
there's the people.
1082
00:55:33.960 --> 00:55:37.659
But you also choose very strong women. Yeah, that's true.
1083
00:55:37.679 --> 00:55:39.460
You like strong, independent women.
1084
00:55:39.739 --> 00:55:39.960
Yeah.
1085
00:55:40.199 --> 00:55:42.559
That's not always the case with men that are as
1086
00:55:42.639 --> 00:55:46.159
successful and talented and powerful as yourself. That's not always
1087
00:55:46.179 --> 00:55:50.619
the case. Sometimes they don't like to be challenged in
1088
00:55:50.659 --> 00:55:51.110
that way.
1089
00:55:51.300 --> 00:55:54.030
It's funny. I don't think of it like that, but
1090
00:55:54.070 --> 00:55:58.409
it is true. Yeah, I like someone who's got a
1091
00:55:58.690 --> 00:55:59.429
strong opinion.
1092
00:56:00.070 --> 00:56:02.869
Well, we spoke to somebody who has a strong opinion
1093
00:56:03.449 --> 00:56:05.230
because we always do this thing on our podcast where
1094
00:56:05.250 --> 00:56:09.019
we speak to somebody who knows our guest and who
1095
00:56:09.059 --> 00:56:12.739
wants to give me a question to ask my guest.
1096
00:56:12.860 --> 00:56:15.960
And we could have spoken to so many people, but
1097
00:56:16.099 --> 00:56:17.699
I really wanted to speak to Stella.
1098
00:56:17.860 --> 00:56:18.420
Oh, yeah.
1099
00:56:19.219 --> 00:56:20.300
Tell us about Stella.
1100
00:56:20.460 --> 00:56:24.480
Stella's a pistol. She is. Linda had Mary.
1101
00:56:24.719 --> 00:56:25.800
Yeah.
1102
00:56:25.820 --> 00:56:30.260
And that was straightforward. And so then Linda was pregnant
1103
00:56:30.300 --> 00:56:37.550
again with Stella. And... went to the hospital to be born.
1104
00:56:38.150 --> 00:56:40.800
And then suddenly there was like a thing going on
1105
00:56:42.940 --> 00:56:47.760
where the doctors, it's a thing called placenta previa.
1106
00:56:47.860 --> 00:56:48.719
Oh, yes, of course.
1107
00:56:48.760 --> 00:56:49.519
You know about that?
1108
00:56:49.659 --> 00:56:50.840
It can be very dangerous.
1109
00:56:50.940 --> 00:56:52.440
And the doctor said, so we're going to have to
1110
00:56:52.480 --> 00:56:57.090
do a C-section, you know, a cesarean. So he's like, oh, okay.
1111
00:56:57.630 --> 00:57:01.329
So he did it and it was successful and it worked.
1112
00:57:01.840 --> 00:57:04.329
But it meant that Stella had to be in an
1113
00:57:04.449 --> 00:57:09.630
incubator when she was little. And so I would go
1114
00:57:09.670 --> 00:57:12.449
down a couple of floors to where the incubator unit
1115
00:57:12.570 --> 00:57:18.719
was and I would see our baby and then go
1116
00:57:18.780 --> 00:57:23.159
back up and report to Linda. And it was amazing
1117
00:57:23.179 --> 00:57:29.699
because Stella did a little movement. And it was exactly
1118
00:57:29.760 --> 00:57:33.039
like Linda. But she didn't know Linda yet.
1119
00:57:33.559 --> 00:57:34.360
Yeah, wild.
1120
00:57:34.460 --> 00:57:40.320
She hadn't learned any tricks. So it was really just,
1121
00:57:40.360 --> 00:57:43.559
you know, a natural thing. So I got running back up.
1122
00:57:43.570 --> 00:57:46.010
I said, Stella, just do that thing. And I know
1123
00:57:46.070 --> 00:57:47.050
that thing from you.
1124
00:57:47.230 --> 00:57:48.489
Yeah.
1125
00:57:48.530 --> 00:57:51.829
Wow. So Stella, we talk about it quite a bit.
1126
00:57:51.869 --> 00:57:56.670
Well, Stella's question for me to ask you, which is
1127
00:57:56.750 --> 00:58:00.360
amazing that you're telling this story, Paul, because... She said,
1128
00:58:00.679 --> 00:58:05.420
ask my dad what his first memory was. We spoke
1129
00:58:05.460 --> 00:58:08.590
about it the other day and he remembered his first
1130
00:58:08.670 --> 00:58:12.610
memory because Stella shared that she thinks one of her
1131
00:58:12.769 --> 00:58:15.989
first memories was being in an incubator.
1132
00:58:16.010 --> 00:58:16.449
Yeah.
1133
00:58:17.000 --> 00:58:19.179
She can feel like, and I know a lot of
1134
00:58:19.219 --> 00:58:23.119
people have memories of when they were born or feel
1135
00:58:23.159 --> 00:58:25.800
like they do. And how you come into the world
1136
00:58:25.880 --> 00:58:29.719
can really, in some ways, define your life's path. You
1137
00:58:29.760 --> 00:58:33.159
can become like a fighter or a survivor, or you
1138
00:58:33.199 --> 00:58:36.079
want to be more sleepy and peaceful, whatever is the
1139
00:58:36.119 --> 00:58:38.340
way that you come into the world. But she shared
1140
00:58:38.389 --> 00:58:41.210
that as her first memory. And the question she wanted
1141
00:58:41.250 --> 00:58:42.929
me to ask you was, what was yours?
1142
00:58:43.590 --> 00:58:47.610
Yeah. You know, these things, you don't know if you've
1143
00:58:47.650 --> 00:58:48.289
made it up.
1144
00:58:48.590 --> 00:58:49.989
Yeah, sure.
1145
00:58:50.030 --> 00:58:54.480
But I have this feeling that I can remember being born.
1146
00:58:55.300 --> 00:58:58.179
I was born in a place in Liverpool called Walton Hospital,
1147
00:58:58.960 --> 00:59:02.460
which was a real old Victorian thing. I think it
1148
00:59:02.480 --> 00:59:06.409
had been something else before a hospital. So I kind
1149
00:59:06.449 --> 00:59:12.059
of remember white tiles and very sort of hygienic white
1150
00:59:12.079 --> 00:59:19.429
tiles and chrome instruments and a clanging because I was
1151
00:59:19.449 --> 00:59:24.150
a forceps berth. They had to pull me out.
1152
00:59:24.230 --> 00:59:25.469
Me too. I was a forceps berth.
1153
00:59:25.510 --> 00:59:26.230
Were you? Yeah.
1154
00:59:26.670 --> 00:59:27.809
I had dents in my head.
1155
00:59:27.869 --> 00:59:29.829
Give it up for four set people.
1156
00:59:29.909 --> 00:59:30.510
Yeah.
1157
00:59:30.570 --> 00:59:32.829
They had to yank me out. I wouldn't come out.
1158
00:59:33.170 --> 00:59:33.489
Yeah.
1159
00:59:34.199 --> 00:59:35.429
It was too good in there.
1160
00:59:35.489 --> 00:59:36.420
Yeah.
1161
00:59:36.460 --> 00:59:38.940
This is okay. I'm getting fed. Totally.
1162
00:59:39.019 --> 00:59:40.739
And then all of a sudden something came in there
1163
00:59:41.099 --> 00:59:42.199
and clamped your head.
1164
00:59:42.219 --> 00:59:42.699
Yeah.
1165
00:59:42.880 --> 00:59:43.739
And yanked you out.
1166
00:59:44.539 --> 00:59:49.699
And out I came. I love that you were too.
1167
00:59:49.719 --> 00:59:50.980
Yeah, I was.
1168
00:59:51.820 --> 00:59:52.099
Yeah.
1169
00:59:52.119 --> 00:59:55.460
So I sort of think I remember that. How funny.
1170
00:59:56.119 --> 00:59:57.039
I don't know if it's true.
1171
00:59:57.179 --> 01:00:00.219
The other question that she had was, what is Monkberry
1172
01:00:00.260 --> 01:00:05.139
Moon Delight? And have you smoked it? And what were
1173
01:00:05.179 --> 01:00:06.500
you on when you wrote that song?
1174
01:00:08.199 --> 01:00:12.780
I probably was on something that I smoked. But no,
1175
01:00:13.179 --> 01:00:16.550
when the kids were little, you know how kids don't always,
1176
01:00:17.150 --> 01:00:22.170
can't pronounce certain words? Yeah. Well, the word for milk
1177
01:00:23.070 --> 01:00:27.289
was monk. Hmm. You know. Can I have, Daddy, can
1178
01:00:27.309 --> 01:00:32.409
I have some Monk? So that was Milk. So I
1179
01:00:32.449 --> 01:00:38.429
was thinking of a milkshake. So it was like Milk Berry,
1180
01:00:38.679 --> 01:00:42.320
Monk Berry Moon. So it's the name of a milkshake
1181
01:00:42.639 --> 01:00:46.300
in my head. You know, I just imagined that, and
1182
01:00:46.340 --> 01:00:50.059
then I just flew off on one, because the lyrics
1183
01:00:50.300 --> 01:00:52.840
are crazy great.
1184
01:00:53.000 --> 01:00:54.139
Yeah, they're great lyrics.
1185
01:00:54.219 --> 01:00:57.050
Yeah. There was I with a piano up my nose.
1186
01:00:58.230 --> 01:01:00.289
Soup puree.
1187
01:01:00.349 --> 01:01:01.449
Soup and puree.
1188
01:01:01.510 --> 01:01:02.489
Yeah, soup and puree.
1189
01:01:02.570 --> 01:01:05.739
Cats and kittens. Don't get left behind.
1190
01:01:05.880 --> 01:01:07.599
Yes, ketchup, ketchup.
1191
01:01:07.619 --> 01:01:10.519
I
know, ketchup. I know it's just like a lot
1192
01:01:10.539 --> 01:01:14.019
of wordplay and stuff, but I look back on that
1193
01:01:14.500 --> 01:01:18.679
kind of song and think, I wish I wrote those now.
1194
01:01:18.699 --> 01:01:23.239
You know, I think it was just a zany period. Yeah. Yeah,
1195
01:01:23.260 --> 01:01:27.039
but that's what it was in my mind. It's actually
1196
01:01:27.079 --> 01:01:27.780
a milkshake.
1197
01:01:28.739 --> 01:01:30.260
So the last section I want to talk to you
1198
01:01:30.320 --> 01:01:36.449
about is your connection to SNL. Because of the many
1199
01:01:36.570 --> 01:01:41.860
things that you entered in my life, I mean... you
1200
01:01:41.889 --> 01:01:44.360
were also connected to the show, one of the shows
1201
01:01:44.400 --> 01:01:46.519
that shaped my life when I was learning what I
1202
01:01:46.579 --> 01:01:48.340
wanted to do with my life. You know, Saturday Night
1203
01:01:48.360 --> 01:01:51.579
Live was such a huge part of my world. And
1204
01:01:51.619 --> 01:01:56.110
the fact that you and Lorne and just the Beatles,
1205
01:01:56.150 --> 01:01:57.949
like they always felt like they were, it felt like
1206
01:01:57.969 --> 01:02:00.369
you guys were hanging around all the time. And- you
1207
01:02:00.429 --> 01:02:02.469
do go to the show quite a bit and you've
1208
01:02:02.489 --> 01:02:05.489
been on the show quite a bit. And I mean,
1209
01:02:05.750 --> 01:02:09.409
there's just so many incredible moments on that show. I mean, I,
1210
01:02:09.429 --> 01:02:11.239
when I was preparing for this interview, I was thinking
1211
01:02:11.260 --> 01:02:15.480
about the Chris Farley moment, which no one's seen. It's
1212
01:02:15.559 --> 01:02:19.219
incredible sketch where Chris Farley is interviewing you and he
1213
01:02:19.300 --> 01:02:21.539
does what I'm sure most people do is he just
1214
01:02:22.280 --> 01:02:23.480
tells you what you've done.
1215
01:02:23.500 --> 01:02:29.000
He's so good, wasn't he? So good. I think the
1216
01:02:29.039 --> 01:02:31.960
first time I was introduced to him was John, who
1217
01:02:32.000 --> 01:02:35.900
was living in New York. Right. And who, you know,
1218
01:02:36.360 --> 01:02:39.739
loved SNL. And it was around that time when Lorne
1219
01:02:39.780 --> 01:02:45.489
had come on and offered us $ 3, 000 to perform because,
1220
01:02:45.510 --> 01:02:49.170
you know, everyone was offering a million to get back together.
1221
01:02:49.230 --> 01:02:50.309
And he holds up a check.
1222
01:02:50.530 --> 01:02:53.800
And he's got a little check from everyone. which apparently
1223
01:02:53.900 --> 01:02:56.239
was what they would have paid us, NBC.
1224
01:02:57.480 --> 01:03:00.519
And I love, you've spoken on this, that you all
1225
01:03:00.599 --> 01:03:02.420
considered it for a second. I mean, you were in
1226
01:03:02.460 --> 01:03:04.039
New York, you were performing, Wings was performing.
1227
01:03:04.059 --> 01:03:08.559
Just
me and John were at a place in New York.
1228
01:03:09.219 --> 01:03:11.460
And he said, have you seen this show? I said, no.
1229
01:03:11.480 --> 01:03:16.170
He said, well, this guy comes on and he's offering us.
1230
01:03:17.389 --> 01:03:20.889
And John said, we should go down now. Because it
1231
01:03:20.909 --> 01:03:25.199
was on live. and said, go and surprise them. So
1232
01:03:25.260 --> 01:03:28.389
for a second, we were going to do that. But
1233
01:03:28.429 --> 01:03:31.269
then it was like, no, it's much too comfortable here.
1234
01:03:32.070 --> 01:03:32.949
Let's just watch it.
1235
01:03:33.289 --> 01:03:34.449
Yeah, it's 11.30.
1236
01:03:34.429 --> 01:03:37.869
We watched it. Yeah. But I think that was the
1237
01:03:37.929 --> 01:03:42.650
first time I'd seen the show and then sort of
1238
01:03:42.690 --> 01:03:47.860
realized why everyone was massive fans of it and why
1239
01:03:47.880 --> 01:03:51.380
it was such an American institution. I mean, I love
1240
01:03:51.440 --> 01:03:55.300
being included in sketches. You know, I like doing the music.
1241
01:03:55.360 --> 01:03:57.280
Be careful saying that because they're going to keep writing
1242
01:03:57.320 --> 01:03:57.639
you in.
1243
01:03:57.659 --> 01:04:00.099
I don't mind. You like it.
1244
01:04:00.159 --> 01:04:00.699
You like it.
1245
01:04:00.880 --> 01:04:05.940
Yeah. I was like a garage guy, a mechanic. Yeah.
1246
01:04:06.000 --> 01:04:11.340
The last one I did with Marcelo. Yeah. And Will Ferrell.
1247
01:04:12.239 --> 01:04:16.699
What was it like working with Marcelo? Just kidding. And
1248
01:04:16.760 --> 01:04:17.960
then Yoga Boys.
1249
01:04:17.980 --> 01:04:20.840
Also the one I did with Marty Shaw. Oh, Marty.
1250
01:04:21.179 --> 01:04:23.820
Marty Shaw. He's so great.
1251
01:04:23.860 --> 01:04:24.480
He's so great.
1252
01:04:24.760 --> 01:04:28.960
We were actually a year ago, we were actually having dinner.
1253
01:04:28.980 --> 01:04:37.250
It was me, Lorne, Jimmy Fallon, and Martin was going
1254
01:04:37.289 --> 01:04:39.929
to come to dinner with us, but he was late.
1255
01:04:40.449 --> 01:04:43.230
So we're all sitting in the thing and the restaurant's crowded.
1256
01:04:43.860 --> 01:04:47.929
You know, and then Martin comes in from left and
1257
01:04:47.969 --> 01:04:50.869
he's walking through and he's pretending he doesn't know where
1258
01:04:50.929 --> 01:04:57.650
we are. He's seen us. He's gone, oh. Oh, excuse me. Oh, sorry.
1259
01:04:57.710 --> 01:05:01.639
And he's bumping into tables and he's doing that whole
1260
01:05:01.719 --> 01:05:06.860
bit of his, you know. Oh, there you are. So funny. Hysterical.
1261
01:05:06.880 --> 01:05:10.199
Hysterical. Okay, quick rapid fire. We're going to get you
1262
01:05:10.219 --> 01:05:13.079
out of here. Okay, so rapid fire time. Best decade
1263
01:05:13.119 --> 01:05:13.679
for music.
1264
01:05:14.000 --> 01:05:14.420
Six years.
1265
01:05:15.079 --> 01:05:17.110
If you
were an animal, what animal would you be?
1266
01:05:17.340 --> 01:05:17.719
Horse.
1267
01:05:18.409 --> 01:05:18.639
Why?
1268
01:05:18.659 --> 01:05:20.389
Because I love horses.
1269
01:05:21.010 --> 01:05:22.329
Do you think you've lived before?
1270
01:05:22.349 --> 01:05:23.829
Possibly.
1271
01:05:24.110 --> 01:05:24.789
And who were you?
1272
01:05:25.769 --> 01:05:32.949
Me. King Essel the Unready.
1273
01:05:32.969 --> 01:05:35.090
Do you have a favorite song you've ever written?
1274
01:05:35.690 --> 01:05:41.289
Yeah, Here, There and Everywhere. I like that song. Okay.
1275
01:05:42.050 --> 01:05:43.590
Nancy's favorite song of yours?
1276
01:05:44.070 --> 01:05:46.219
Days we left behind of the new album.
1277
01:05:46.500 --> 01:05:49.460
Fantastic. Last concert you went to?
1278
01:05:49.480 --> 01:05:51.550
I think it was Brandi Carlile.
1279
01:05:52.869 --> 01:05:55.750
She was in here. How talented is she? Yeah.
1280
01:05:57.400 --> 01:05:59.440
She's a very nice girl too.
1281
01:05:59.539 --> 01:06:03.099
There just must be a feeling when you meet songwriters, right?
1282
01:06:03.139 --> 01:06:05.170
There just must be a feeling of like, oh, we
1283
01:06:05.210 --> 01:06:05.690
know each other.
1284
01:06:05.750 --> 01:06:08.170
We know how to do this. Yeah. Even though we
1285
01:06:08.210 --> 01:06:10.840
don't know how to do it, but we've done it.
1286
01:06:11.110 --> 01:06:13.010
Yeah, we've done it. I mean, I felt that way
1287
01:06:13.159 --> 01:06:16.199
even when I watched Get Back and when I was...
1288
01:06:16.579 --> 01:06:20.840
watching you uh write that song for example and the
1289
01:06:20.940 --> 01:06:24.840
process of writing it and being together and you were
1290
01:06:24.880 --> 01:06:27.440
doing to me what looked like what we would do
1291
01:06:27.519 --> 01:06:29.760
in a comedy writer's room which is you work a
1292
01:06:29.820 --> 01:06:32.650
little bit and then you fuck around a lot because
1293
01:06:32.809 --> 01:06:35.409
you can only kind of like think of something original
1294
01:06:35.469 --> 01:06:37.130
for a few minutes and then you have to like
1295
01:06:37.710 --> 01:06:39.889
play other people's songs and like goof around i mean
1296
01:06:39.909 --> 01:06:42.889
you were doing bits basically with each other that was
1297
01:06:42.949 --> 01:06:45.300
a way to get offline to get back into like
1298
01:06:45.320 --> 01:06:48.380
your creative space. And it was like a process that
1299
01:06:48.400 --> 01:06:50.639
felt like, oh, this is what process looks like.
1300
01:06:50.940 --> 01:06:55.119
Yeah, that's what we've been mates for years. So, you know,
1301
01:06:55.179 --> 01:06:59.349
you goof around. John would pick up something, you know.
1302
01:06:59.369 --> 01:07:03.550
I remember she came in through the bathroom window, one
1303
01:07:03.570 --> 01:07:08.449
of my songs, and I'm Tuesdays on, Monday's on the
1304
01:07:08.510 --> 01:07:11.039
phone to Tuesday, whatever it is. So Tuesday's on the
1305
01:07:11.079 --> 01:07:14.179
phone to me, I think was the line. So I
1306
01:07:14.219 --> 01:07:18.670
start going, hello, Tuesday. All right, darling. And then John
1307
01:07:18.750 --> 01:07:22.250
picks it up. He's on the piano. All right, Tuesday.
1308
01:07:22.289 --> 01:07:29.019
And he starts doing Tuesday. And we were talking to Tuesday, um, So, yeah,
1309
01:07:29.119 --> 01:07:33.000
we could do that. Yeah. Because we'd hung out a lot.
1310
01:07:33.320 --> 01:07:36.300
I mean, we went hitchhiking together and things, you know.
1311
01:07:36.699 --> 01:07:42.800
So we would sleep together. And that makes you kind of,
1312
01:07:42.860 --> 01:07:45.260
you know, quite intimate with each other. Yeah.
1313
01:07:45.320 --> 01:07:47.940
Well, just getting to see the way you work together
1314
01:07:48.519 --> 01:07:52.039
feels like anybody who's in some kind of creative space
1315
01:07:52.119 --> 01:07:55.429
working with somebody else, they felt like they understood what
1316
01:07:55.469 --> 01:08:00.150
that was. feeling is like this idea that you kind
1317
01:08:00.190 --> 01:08:01.889
of talked about it earlier, that there's just some kind
1318
01:08:01.929 --> 01:08:05.190
of magic you're supposed to make space for and room for.
1319
01:08:05.210 --> 01:08:08.989
And if you're lucky, it comes in. And if you're
1320
01:08:09.010 --> 01:08:11.059
even luckier, you get to make it. And then if
1321
01:08:11.079 --> 01:08:12.349
you're the luckiest people love it.
1322
01:08:12.639 --> 01:08:17.079
It's true. I think if you love it, people probably will.
1323
01:08:18.340 --> 01:08:23.500
Well, I feel like I'll end by saying, Paul, that the,
1324
01:08:24.449 --> 01:08:26.159
The thing that I feel like you taught me as
1325
01:08:26.199 --> 01:08:30.159
an artist, uh, knowing you for my entire life, not
1326
01:08:30.199 --> 01:08:36.119
knowing you, but knowing your work is that love is really, that's,
1327
01:08:36.229 --> 01:08:41.270
that's the thing. Like, it's like loss is inevitable. Change
1328
01:08:41.310 --> 01:08:45.210
is inevitable. Life is wild. But if you can keep
1329
01:08:45.270 --> 01:08:49.199
kind of heading towards the love part, um, you're headed
1330
01:08:49.239 --> 01:08:50.060
in the right direction.
1331
01:08:50.079 --> 01:08:50.640
Yeah.
1332
01:08:51.000 --> 01:08:51.520
Thank you for that.
1333
01:08:51.560 --> 01:08:58.699
That's all you need. No, I agree. And yeah, I
1334
01:08:58.720 --> 01:09:01.039
would own up to being a romantic. I love it.
1335
01:09:01.600 --> 01:09:05.300
I love films where it's romantic. I'm not a big
1336
01:09:05.380 --> 01:09:07.880
fan of like shoot-em-ups.
1337
01:09:08.319 --> 01:09:09.479
Do you like horror movies?
1338
01:09:09.819 --> 01:09:10.020
No.
1339
01:09:10.229 --> 01:09:10.560
Me neither.
1340
01:09:12.229 --> 01:09:13.630
And let's take a minute.
1341
01:09:14.229 --> 01:09:14.470
Yeah?
1342
01:09:14.729 -->
01:09:15.350
Zombies.
1343
01:09:15.789 --> 01:09:16.949
Forget zombies.
1344
01:09:17.510 --> 01:09:20.310
I mean, people love that.
1345
01:09:20.510 --> 01:09:21.189
I've never watched.
1346
01:09:21.210 --> 01:09:22.989
Not very keen. No.
1347
01:09:23.649 --> 01:09:23.970
Zombies.
1348
01:09:24.029 --> 01:09:26.630
I've said this before, but if there was a zombie apocalypse,
1349
01:09:26.670 --> 01:09:28.949
I would immediately just take a pill and go to
1350
01:09:28.970 --> 01:09:33.189
sleep forever. There's no way I would ever, like, fight
1351
01:09:33.260 --> 01:09:33.989
a zombie.
1352
01:09:34.060 --> 01:09:36.399
No. Well, I'd fight it for you.
1353
01:09:36.819 --> 01:09:37.479
Thank you, Paul.
1354
01:09:37.640 --> 01:09:38.359
Grrrr.
1355
01:09:40.189 --> 01:09:40.939
So darling.
1356
01:09:41.300 --> 01:09:41.539
Okay.
1357
01:09:41.779 --> 01:09:44.779
So what is making you laugh right now as we end?
1358
01:09:45.520 --> 01:09:45.979
Anything?
1359
01:09:46.000 --> 01:09:48.979
What do you watch to giggle?
1360
01:09:50.359 --> 01:09:52.479
Yeah, films and things.
1361
01:09:52.720 --> 01:09:54.560
Like what? What do you think is funny? Well, let's
1362
01:09:54.600 --> 01:09:56.000
watch a video together as we end.
1363
01:09:56.680 --> 01:09:57.800
My favorite year.
1364
01:09:58.359 --> 01:09:59.689
Oh, Peter O'Toole?
1365
01:09:59.939 --> 01:10:00.100
Yeah.
1366
01:10:00.609 --> 01:10:02.279
I thought that was funny.
1367
01:10:02.300 --> 01:10:04.819
I love that movie. I haven't seen it in so long.
1368
01:10:04.840 --> 01:10:06.680
No, that's what I mean. I asked someone what their
1369
01:10:06.720 --> 01:10:08.640
favorite film was and they come up with that one.
1370
01:10:08.960 --> 01:10:09.979
Oh, I love that film.
1371
01:10:10.020 --> 01:10:11.640
Yeah, it's a great film.
1372
01:10:12.300 --> 01:10:16.859
For people who don't remember that, that was an 80s comedy. Oh, yeah,
1373
01:10:17.319 --> 01:10:21.180
Peter O'Toole plays like an actor who's on a variety show, right?
1374
01:10:21.380 --> 01:10:23.840
Yeah, he's a has-been.
1375
01:10:24.800 --> 01:10:24.899
Yes.
1376
01:10:25.020 --> 01:10:27.640
And he gets drunk all the time. That's right. And
1377
01:10:27.659 --> 01:10:30.199
the young guys put in charge of him.
1378
01:10:30.949 --> 01:10:33.210
There was a big stretch in the 80s where all
1379
01:10:33.229 --> 01:10:38.609
the characters were really drunk. Like Arthur, my favorite. There's
1380
01:10:38.689 --> 01:10:42.590
quite a bunch where like the lead was like falling
1381
01:10:42.649 --> 01:10:50.010
down drunk. And we were like, that's hilarious. Okay, let's
1382
01:10:50.090 --> 01:10:52.810
watch just the trailer of my favorite year before we end.
1383
01:10:53.100 --> 01:10:57.359
It was the year Hollywood's greatest heroes swashbuckled his way onto.
1384
01:10:57.140 --> 01:11:01.000
Live TV and into Benji's life.
1385
01:11:01.119 --> 01:11:03.859
I mean, this looks like, um, Monty Python.
1386
01:11:03.890 --> 01:11:04.210
That's one.
1387
01:11:17.840 --> 01:11:19.100
Peter O'Toole passing out.
1388
01:11:19.340 --> 01:11:19.840
He's good.
1389
01:11:20.319 --> 01:11:21.619
God, Peter O'Toole is good.
1390
01:11:22.340 --> 01:11:23.119
Yeah.
1391
01:11:23.479 --> 01:11:26.680
Well, Paul McCartney, I could talk to you all day.
1392
01:11:26.699 --> 01:11:30.250
You may, Amy. I really, really, really appreciate you being here.
1393
01:11:30.510 --> 01:11:32.869
It's a total thrill to talk to you.
1394
01:11:34.130 --> 01:11:34.750
How did we do?
1395
01:11:34.770 --> 01:11:35.890
We did okay?
1396
01:11:35.989 --> 01:11:37.090
I think we did great.
1397
01:11:37.189 --> 01:11:38.090
I mean, all right.
1398
01:11:38.250 --> 01:11:38.909
I enjoyed it.
1399
01:11:39.109 --> 01:11:39.760
All right, good.
1400
01:11:40.600 --> 01:11:43.340
Yeah. Thanks, Paul.
1401
01:11:43.520 --> 01:11:44.319
Thanks for doing this.
1402
01:11:44.340 --> 01:11:45.000
Thanks, Amy.
1403
01:11:45.439 --> 01:11:46.439
Okay, you're excused.
1404
01:11:49.159 --> 01:11:49.649
Yes, miss.
1405
01:11:53.689 --> 01:11:57.329
Thank you, Paul McCartney. Um, I, I don't know what
1406
01:11:57.350 --> 01:11:59.649
to say. It was, it was a complete thrill to
1407
01:11:59.689 --> 01:12:03.289
talk to you and what an incredible conversation. And, you know,
1408
01:12:03.390 --> 01:12:05.970
for this polar plunge, I just, I feel the need
1409
01:12:06.010 --> 01:12:09.310
to call my mother and tell her that I just
1410
01:12:09.380 --> 01:12:13.140
interviewed Paul McCartney. So if you will indulge me, um, listeners,
1411
01:12:13.520 --> 01:12:15.859
I have not told my mom or my dad that
1412
01:12:15.979 --> 01:12:21.180
I'm interviewing, uh, Paul, um, uh, because they can't be
1413
01:12:21.220 --> 01:12:25.079
trusted with that information, but, um, I'm going to FaceTime, um,
1414
01:12:25.100 --> 01:12:27.560
my mom right now and see if we can get
1415
01:12:27.640 --> 01:12:33.710
a real time, a real time response. Now she tech. Hello.
1416
01:12:33.729 --> 01:12:33.789
Hi.
1417
01:12:33.789 --> 01:12:37.250
Um, can you hear me? Yeah.
1418
01:12:37.270 --> 01:12:43.090
You're on the, uh, In the podcast.
1419
01:12:43.350 --> 01:12:45.989
I'm doing the podcast right now, so your voices are
1420
01:12:46.010 --> 01:12:47.850
going to be recorded. Is that okay? Do I have
1421
01:12:47.869 --> 01:12:48.829
your legal consent?
1422
01:12:49.649 --> 01:12:51.409
Depends on how I feel it went.
1423
01:12:51.609 --> 01:12:52.649
Okay, let me talk to mom.
1424
01:12:54.649 --> 01:12:54.930
Okay.
1425
01:12:54.949 --> 01:13:00.020
What's up? Guess who I just interviewed. Mom, who would
1426
01:13:00.060 --> 01:13:01.399
be your favorite person?
1427
01:13:02.399 --> 01:13:03.100
Oh, my gosh.
1428
01:13:03.479 --> 01:13:06.140
Who is the most excited person you've ever met when
1429
01:13:06.180 --> 01:13:07.060
you came to SNL?
1430
01:13:08.979 --> 01:13:09.100
Oh.
1431
01:13:09.779 --> 01:13:10.539
Paul McCartney.
1432
01:13:11.609 --> 01:13:13.229
I just interviewed Paul McCartney.
1433
01:13:13.470 --> 01:13:14.270
No, sir.
1434
01:13:15.729 --> 01:13:16.069
I did.
1435
01:13:17.010 --> 01:13:18.930
I just interviewed Paul McCartney.
1436
01:13:19.529 --> 01:13:19.789
Yeah.
1437
01:13:19.810 --> 01:13:22.600
Oh, my God. Your mother brags about the time.
1438
01:13:22.619 --> 01:13:23.600
Did you mention my name?
1439
01:13:26.500 --> 01:13:29.380
She brags about the time he knocked on your door
1440
01:13:29.399 --> 01:13:32.250
at SNL and said, oh, I like your daughter.
1441
01:13:32.310 --> 01:13:33.710
Yeah, he said, are you Amy's mother?
1442
01:13:33.729 --> 01:13:34.689
That's right.
1443
01:13:34.890 --> 01:13:35.350
That's right.
1444
01:13:35.369 --> 01:13:37.649
And Eileen said. Oh, Sir Paul.
1445
01:13:37.689 --> 01:13:38.470
Hello, Sir Paul.
1446
01:13:38.550 --> 01:13:42.720
Okay, Mom, you know, as I wrap up this episode,
1447
01:13:43.229 --> 01:13:46.239
what is the memory you have of, like, how important
1448
01:13:46.260 --> 01:13:50.640
were the Beatles to you? Oh, it was unbelievable. My
1449
01:13:51.159 --> 01:13:54.420
big memory is the first time they played on Ed Sullivan.
1450
01:13:54.539 --> 01:13:56.960
Ed Sullivan's show with your long hair.
1451
01:13:57.140 --> 01:13:59.739
And my father said, look at those guys with that
1452
01:13:59.779 --> 01:14:00.380
long hair.
1453
01:14:01.260 --> 01:14:01.800
That's right.
1454
01:14:01.920 --> 01:14:04.180
Yeah. I liked them immediately.
1455
01:14:04.199 --> 01:14:04.659
Yeah.
1456
01:14:04.899 --> 01:14:06.760
I went to see.
1457
01:14:06.539 --> 01:14:08.939
Them, I think. Didn't you go to In Limb somewhere?
1458
01:14:08.979 --> 01:14:10.119
No, that was the Rolling Stones.
1459
01:14:10.180 --> 01:14:13.920
No, I never saw them. You never saw them. You
1460
01:14:13.960 --> 01:14:15.819
just saw the Rolling Stones.
1461
01:14:16.060 --> 01:14:19.520
No, but he made a joke to Eileen about, didn't
1462
01:14:19.600 --> 01:14:21.199
I see you in the fourth row?
1463
01:14:21.399 --> 01:14:21.640
Oh, yeah.
1464
01:14:21.680 --> 01:14:23.380
He said, were you at the.
1465
01:14:23.479 --> 01:14:25.199
Okay, I got to go. I got, okay, I got
1466
01:14:25.229 --> 01:14:28.729
to go. Okay. I love you guys. I wanted to
1467
01:14:28.810 --> 01:14:31.069
tell you that I just interviewed Paul McCartney.
1468
01:14:31.390 --> 01:14:31.720
Cool.
1469
01:14:31.760 --> 01:14:32.560
I'm so psyched.
1470
01:14:33.029 --> 01:14:34.220
Nice. All right.
1471
01:14:34.439 --> 01:14:35.159
Love you guys.
1472
01:14:35.779 --> 01:14:36.079
Okay.
1473
01:14:36.180 --> 01:14:38.340
I'll keep track of his numbers and see if he
1474
01:14:38.399 --> 01:14:39.800
beats out Paul Rudd.
1475
01:14:42.699 --> 01:14:43.840
He's coming for you, Rudd.
1476
01:14:44.699 --> 01:14:45.859
All right. All right.
1477
01:14:46.239 --> 01:14:46.619
Okay.
1478
01:14:46.680 --> 01:14:47.439
Love you guys.
1479
01:14:48.399 --> 01:14:48.760
