scans from THE BEATLES: Photographs from the set of HELP!
Paul was answering fan questions on Reddit about 3 years ago, and somebody asked him when was really the last time he saw John. And It's odd to not remember the last time you saw your best friend before death.
For some reason, I always get the feeling that Paul doesn't want to admit he saw a lot more of John throughout the 70s than what the public thinks. One time an interviewer told him "You saw a lot more of John in the years leading up to his death than people assume, didn't you?" Paul didn't answer directly, and just replied, "I was very lucky we settled our differences". And in the interview with Sean a couple of years ago, Sean tells Paul "I’ve seen interviews with him around the time when he’s about to go and see you and he seems really genuinely happy that he’s about to see you. I think he says like, ‘Well actually I’m about to have a meeting with him, Paul, I’m on my way’, or something and he kind of jokes, but he sounds happy that he’s going to see you." Oddly, Paul does not even aknowledge what Sean says and starts talking about something else. His exact reply was, "I think so much of what he did just, obviously Imagine and Instant Karma is great and the nice thing was, when I listen to the records, I can imagine him in the studio and go, ‘Oh ok, I know what he’s done. He’s just said to the engineer, “Gimme some Elvis echo.. Bog echo.”
WTF Paul

“Brian Epstein booked me to play with them and Paul would just sit down and look at me. He’d say, ‘Oh Richard, you’re my idol. Just let me touch you’ He wanted to learn my little holler, so we sat at the piano, going ‘Oooooooh!’ until he got it.” - Little Richard

"...the song called "Boys" which is kinda weird, you know, "I'm talking about boys." We never thought about boys, girls, it doesn't matter, it's just a good song, you know! We never realized that guy's singing about boys had implications, you know! What the hell, it doesn't matter, it's just a good song"
HE'S SO FUNNY.
