Episode 86: Sir Paul McCartney

I’ll admit it’s difficult to hear people casually talk about John Lennon as a total monster when he was pretty much my idol growing up, so I’ll cling to these corrections, thanks. #imagine

These are great, thank you for the notes. It's possible we'll revisit Paul while doing a deeper dive into the mob ties with his new wife and her family and we'll make sure to mention these! -Andy

extremely embarrassed for doing this bc i know its just for fun, but theres some additional facts/corrections i think cud be considered (or not). after reading this, Im sorry that this is longer than i thought. *regarding paul and stuarts fight, apparently paul used to pick on stu even before that and this was just the last straw. according to paul in the 60s, stu actually was an ok bassist but a bad guitarist. a lot of people think paul was jealous that stu was closer to john (then leader of the band) *philip norman is the one who wrote the whole "john beats his wives" thing. he has been known to just make shit up. cynthia (who has spoken abt johns cruelty before) denies the claims, but said he did slap her once or twice. yoko denies as well. *paul made them do magical mystery tour almost immediately after brian died. from what i'm aware, john took it the hardest and was probably the closest to brian. both he and george called it a paul's vanity project. brian has said that paul is "the most difficult [of the beatles]" b/c he was constantly trying to basically do brian's job. *john drunkenly assaulted bob wooler bc he suggested that john and brian had an affair on their trip to spain. later in life, john would allude to possible bicuriosity or bisexuality. paul denies this, but yoko confirms this. *coming back from india, paul was asked by the BBC about the poverty there. his answer has basically that their religion makes them "fatalistic" and so they don't work hard and that's why they're poor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuWgNVfHZjs *paul told jane asher (who he was cheating on with 4 different women at that time) that she should slow down her acting career to marry and have his children. then she found out about the four women, left him and continued acting. she's now married to british cartoonist, gerald scarfe. *ringo hit both his wives when he was drunk. *george serially cheated on patti and olivia. i think by the end of george's life, george had slept with more women than paul. *ringo supposedly has the biggest dick and paul had the smallest. *the beatles supposedly didn't enjoy the company of "teenie boppers," so they're probably not pedophiles. WIth the Stones, however, Mick is in Epstein's black book and Bill Wyman basically dated a 14 year old and waited til she was 18 to get married. Charlie stayed with the same wife since 1964 and Keith seems to remain friends with most women he dated/had affairs with? *paul apparently insisted that linda be apart of all his musical projects (as opposed to her inserting herself in them) *In the early to mid 1970s, john just went full new left and was friends with abbie hoffman and tariq ali. this slowed down around the mid-late 70s because he was being investigated by the FBI.
