The anecdote about Isaac Asimov being asked (and paid) to write a movie treatment for Paul McCartney is intriguing. That Asimov wrote about it means this is an especially good anecdote, because he provides a first-hand account. Paul’s love of alternate band identities is traceable back to SGT. PEPPER. The story he wanted Asimov to write involves a group posing as another group. In an essay about signature styles, Stephen King relates seeing an interview with Paul in which he talks about an idea he had, of going into a pub with a band, in disguise, to play without people knowing who it was. Apparently, the interviewer said, “They’d know you by your voice.” I notice that in BROAD STREET, Paul includes a scene where he really is in disguise as a busker outside a subway entrance. People brush past him. Back to the Asimov story: Paul has a career-long concern about anonymity. Take this line from “Band On The Run”: “Cause we never will be found.”
I love this interview so much and Scott did awesome.
