Yes..thank you. Quite frankly it's none of my business. I know what the Beatles music meant to me..still does. I think John talked about it..what a song means to the creator could be quite different to the enjoyer of the art.
As I’ve never met Paul, it’s very hard to say . The other Beatles were not so keen to praise the real Paul McCartney. I have a Physician friend who did have a radio talk show in NY in the ‘60’s. He interviewed the lads & also treated them for colds . He said they were funny, and cool , except for Paul . “Kind of a D*#k.” Who knows . I will forever wonder though , how he was ok w the fact that he received more royalties than his 50/50 partner John . This was always their verbal agreement Again , who can really say . Let’s just enjoy the music 😎.
Paul McCartney wow. This man is one of the greatest songwriters ever and he has so much class. You can tell how much he loves John that he was willing to find a middle ground and keep peace.
Well, the rest of us don't' need to find a middle-ground. Yoko Ono was into black-magic, casting spells, manipulation, and other things to keep John within her sights and somewhat under her control. It's common knowledge. Not everyone feels the need to be silent about it.
Actually it would have been better if he called before he died, not after he died. They were rivals and trying to prove to the other that they were the best one.
Paul is such a nice guy. So kind and sweet. He didn't like Yoko. But John did, so Paul really tried to accept her. That's true love! I don't think Yoko ever loved John as much as Paul did.
I was going to comment on the same thing, she convinced John to screw Julian out of his inheritance so she would get it all. Nothing will convince me that she's not an evil bitch.
Paul was saying what he had to in order to help shape the Beatles legacy. Notice Paul made overtures to that witch, and she snipes at him to the day. Why? Because Paul saw through her and *still* does.
John was just dumb struck in love... Cant fault the guy.. But lets not kid ourselves, Im sure Yoko had a good side, but she was also a clingy, controlling, manipulating woman too.. She never gave John an inch of breathing room. My Dad was a roadie for The Rolling Stones in the 70's and he said Yoko would just follow John EVERYWHERE and that he witnessed them fight on numerous occasions over her kinda forcing herself into his business and situations. Yoko knew what she had and she wasnt about to let that up.
@@JonHop1 I can't help but think that after a while, John would've tired of her schtick and let her go. He would have paid dearly financially for it but it probably would've happened.
@@miryamamar5442 she doesn’t control Paul’s revenue. I believe she just controls John’s estate and legacy. Actually, Sean now heads that up, I think, now that Yoko is elderly and frail.
I love Yoko's voice. I also love fingernails on blackboard, squealing brakes on a train, smoke detectors on low battery, and the tortured screams of demons during a major exorcism.
If Paul wants to be fair about Yoko's persona and her being blunt and honest.... when it was determined that she and John wanted each other, she could have been discreet and waited for John to divorce Cynthia. But instead Cynthia comes back from I holiday only to find Yoko with John in HER person dressing gown ( bathrobe in U. S.)! Cynthia handle everything with civility, dignity and discretion. That's a Real Lady.
She broke up The Beatles, and he easily could have got himself a real beauty, but she wasn't nearly the nasty plain brown paper wrapper Pushy Nasty American Girl the media portrayed her as, and whichever Paul it was she married, he loved her and she him.
The topic was Yoko! However, as a father of 4 and based on words coming out of Julian’s mouth, John was not good to Julian. That’s coming from a huge Beatle/Lennon MUSIC fan. I don’t have to love them as parents! As far as the dumb “grow up comment”, get a life! What is controversial here? Absolutely nothing. Go grind an axe with someone else.
She didn’t abandon Kyoko in Japan, she grew up in the US. There’s nothing wrong with having a child with John, and while John wasn’t an active presence in Julians life you can’t say she treated Julian like crap. These are real people with complicated stories and reducing it all because you don’t like Yoko is not only lazy but irresponsible.
Yoko was such a lovely woman that John lennon son julian had to take her to court after his death because he didnt leave his son a penny and yoko was in charge of his estate.i liked john lennons music but any man who abandons his kids is not a man for me and i dont see yoko as being any better,the court case dragged on for 16 years!!
Say it like it is . Personally I think she was a hard nosed hustler who saw Lennon as an opportunity to wealth and power . Poor Julian , being the victim of those two self centred , narcissistic shits
For somebody who had a "father" like John Lennon was to Julian, I'm with you! To your kid your genius means nothing - It's your fatherhood that does!! When mine died, I was only relieved, and no other feeling!

@@orlytaylor9590 Its not antisemitic. Clearly she mentions nothing about Jews being inferior or anything. It's just crazy that she thinks a jew could've slept with Hitler, and suddenly his whole worldview would've changed

You know what I think? I think Paul is claiming something he didn't feel and would feel the same about Yoko for the rest of his life. It looks like Linda is a bit uncomfortable when he says "I think I've made a big mistake" her eyebrow goes up a bit like "oh, yeah? Really?"
That's very sweet. I really came to appreciate Paul more while watching GET BACK. He wasn't as bossy or selfish as we had been led to believe. It felt like he was trying to be the grown up in the room while the rest of the band was a bit immature. They didn't seem like they cared to be in a band, but he did. He seemed a lot more invested in the Beatles than the rest of them and was maybe trying a bit too hard. He was also the only one who looked right into the camera and called out exactly what was happening. In the years since his insights are the ones that hold up to the test of time. Fortunately John came around eventually and admitted he was wrong about Alan Klein (and a lot of other things). I'm sure they would be great friends today if John had lived.
Iv met Paul and Linda at a party at their house in Heswal...Linda was bloody lovely...I was only 19 years old and she came and sat with me and my girl friend and chatted. I thought it was so generous of her to make the effort...A really kind person....someone told me recently she borrowed them £20,000 to buy a house (a relative) But all the same just a lovely person. Paul was very normal too. No airs or graces just normal.
It takes an amazingly strong, self-aware, humble person to admit that you may be wrong about someone and reach out to make amends. A lot of people can't do that, myself included.
Paul forgot to mention that she tried to hook up with him first and when that didn’t work she went after John. She was a gold diggers and had to be sued to give a bit of money to Julian.
@@reyph03nyx It is true, but for all of her flaws it's boring slut shaming, so what if she tried to have sex with him? They were good looking dudes. She was a fairly renowned artist, she didn't need either of them. The only dodgy thing about it is when she tried to pretend she hadn't heard of The Beatles before she met them, sure lady. But it's hardly gold digging when she was successful before John.
In a recent radio interview..just during the pandemic Paul said that Yoko did break up the Beatles . Sean said last year in a radio interview that him and his mother didn't see eye to eye on many things when he was a teenager.... He wanted to go to boarding school in England to be closer to Julian and he wanted to live in England. He said he felt closest to his dad there ...spiritually..and hated living in America for many years. Yoko would not allow him to go which he said he held a grudge with her for that for a long time. I feel Sean is speaking out more now his mum is so sick. I hear his mum needs carers now and rarely leaves the Dakato. Even prior to pandemic. Good on you Sean for loving Julian. Xo
Paul has a lot of class. He does not "like" Yoko. He saying this out of respect for his friend, John. Yoko treated Julian horribly. I really don't think had John lived they would have stayed together.
After watching them doing freakout jams when they had nothing else to do or couldn't practice as The Beatles in Get Back, I enjoy learning about their relationship. Yoko always seemed chill while they practiced and have fun with John and Paul when she could.
Paul is from heaven. I never loved the Beatles ( I liked them, but was more into The Who and LED Zep) , but I always deeply respected Paul as a person and musician. Yoko is one of the most vilified people in the history of popular music, and for good reason, but Paul gave her respect and grace here. Out of his love for his departed friend.
@@jonbush2370 thank you. I was trying to be magnanimous. In truth - If you gave me a choice of the big bands from 60-70’s ( Who, Zep, Stones, Floyd, Hendrix, Doors, Bowie, Allmans, Tull, Cream , etc ) The Beatles would be at or near the bottom. I didn’t hate them , I was just indifferent to them. Peace.
That wasnt love! that was having your brain scrambled by Arty sycophants into thinking any old junk can be art.Heroin became John's tea introduced by Yoko, this is a trick often used by pimps to make prostitutes easy to mindcontrol,she was from an elite powerful banking family already had a child taken away and been in a mad house,her art friends in London even said all they needed was money and that was her main job.This was her way to the top!she tried getting money from Paul first to subsidise her career which didnt work!John was the last shot at the golden goose pretending she didnt know who the Beatles where?tell me another one!but sometimes it is like this when dominated mentally it's called Stockholm syndrome!
All this shows is that Paul really had no knowledge about narcissists. Nobody did really, in those days. Once John died she was secure that she would call the shots with Paul. First hand. Not through John. Now SHE was in the driver's seat of John's legacy and would use her powers at board meetings. She would call the shots for The Beatles as if she was John, from here on out. That was her character. Of course personality-wise she could still charm or appear reasonable when it was useful to her. But the goal remains the goal, and it's to get her way no matter what.
In other words, she is a hardass who does not consider other people's feelings and well-meant intentions. Just adding a "thank you" or "I appreciate your effort" here and there would make a world of difference.
Once, when the camera panned, there was a small mirror near the edge of the screen where you could see Yoko... and her very large revolver (and I don't mean the album). Such a beautiful, vile, thoughtful creature the One is. So sorry Sir Paul that you were forced to endure close, physical contact with the visitor from Haedes.
I wonder how John would have felt if Paul had started bringing Linda to every Beatles recording session to sit next to him all the time and offer her critiques of the others' (including John's) work.
Exactly. It was John basically flexing. And I'm a huge fan of John. The one thing that drove Paul even after all that reefer was competition for just the sake of it. John did not care for that and so deliberately fucked with Paul. They were past friends they were brothers there love for each other goes beyond words. John was just being his pushy self and Paul was being his self critical self. I used to feel disdain for Paul thinking there was something about him that John hated and there was good reason to. Paul was just a kid I now see. He was not playing head games. And if he was he was just having a go at it never actually wanting to hurt or confuse anyone. Anyways that's just my piece. I can only imagine what sort of world we would live in if John was here. It's almost like a universal direction shift. Paul was content with the way things were. John would of made sure that the world didn't turn out the way it has. It's really beyond awareness to hypothesize the effect John's death had on the course of the world.
@@lyricberlin Did Lynda come everyday and sit in on the group as if she was part of it Lynda came occasionally and had the decency and discretion not to but in and answer for Paul
What I gather from this video is that Paul made a sincere effort to extend an olive branch of peace, and Yoko was too snotty and contrarian to reciprocate.
She was and is everything he thought. He just wanted to make peace. She was in process of setting up a divorce until John told her he'd been writing songs in Bermuda. Then she quickly set everything back in place before he returned.
Exactly, that is why you can't take Paul and Ringo seriously about Yoko. Paul called her for business purposes . They need her okay to make more money with the Beatles name and legacy.
@@dins5066 "she Gave John a child", how gynocentric is that phrase? You could equally say he gave her a child, the more so if you consider that he supported it and gave it a legacy. "She was the love of his life", another cliched uncritical phrase. Maybe she was his narcissistic slave owner. Anyway what point, and why should any of us care? He's dead and she's got all his loot and the reflection of his fame.
Her screaming in the microphone during the let it be sessions was so off it was disturbing. Apart from that- well, she was John's girl and that's that.
John loved Magic Alex, Allen Klein, Phil Spector but after some time, he found out about them and quit. He just needed more time to find out about Yoko.
I felt the way John and Yoko showed themselves to Sybil, his wife, was callous and cruel. She came home to find them together, staring into each other’s eyes, or something. It spelled out, you are out, Yoko is in. It was needlessly cruel and unfeeling.
James Paul McCartney (Liverpool, 18 de junio de 1942) es un cantautor, compositor, músico, multiinstrumentista, escritor, activista, pintor y actor británico; que junto a John Lennon, George Harrison y Ringo Starr, ganó fama mundial por ser el bajista y uno de los cantantes de The Beatles, reconocida como la más popular e influyente en la historia de la música moderna; su asociación compositora con Lennon es una de las más célebres del siglo xx. Después de la separación de la banda, continuó su carrera musical en solitario y formó Wings con su primera esposa, Linda, y Denny Laine.
I don't know why people like to break apart every word a man says looking for bullshit behind it. Why can't we just take people at their word, and trust in them saying what they feel? At this point in time John was dead, and I think Paul was simply doing what he thought was right, checking in now and again on his brother's widow. Paul didn't have to love Yoko to do that, it was out of his love for John and his attempt to do what he felt his friend would want him to do. As time went on, I think all the issues Paul had with Yoko were in the past, and now none of it mattered as it was ancient history and John was gone. At that point, he could step back, act dispassionately and just call her up without worrying about a thing, because all the bad was forgotten and that's just what he felt he should do. I certainly respect him for it, and understand where his head and heart was at.
With having his life stolen from him so. Why shouldn’t John of found love. I’m glad he did. I love the Beatles as much as the next head but I also love there solo careers. As George sang ALL THINGS MUST PASS!!! Agape love my friends
Oh hail no! She was who you thought, and she still is. You want to claim she is oh-so goodly and misunderstood? Just remember that that woman (1) required her sap of a husband to search the world for *her* kid by her first husband, [child's name was] Kyoko, and literally at the *same* time (2) abandon and disinherit Julian, John's son by his first marriage, because Julian was not her (Yoko's) kid. When John died Julian got nothing and had to fight Yoko in court for a paltry 20 million of what now are hundreds of millions. And Yoko wouldn't even give Julian any personal effects of John's as keepsakes; Julian had to buy them on auction. So, Paul, quit lying. Yoko was and is the demon that split up The Beatles and that has marred their memory.
From all the info that has been put out there about Yoko. It's understandable why this women not only appears like a non maternal piece of stone.But was also able to manipulate John from the very beginning that she was an Artist????..! Creepy....!
Excellent analysis from Paul. I of course don't know Yoko but it's exactly what I feel about her. People, during last century, hated women who "assumed" themselves, like men do. And maybe they still do today.
Also, let us at least mention their obvious jealousy of her world famous singing ability. I bet Chuck Berry never reacted to Linda's singing the way he did to Yoko's.
Yeah? Well Yoko refused to give or even sell ANY of John’s personal possessions to John’s son Julian after John’s death. I think Yoko’s a hard, insensitive woman. That’s what I think.
Although I personally have no love for Yoko and who cares, I do think John loved her very much and that's really all that matters and since John has been gone all these years it's really doesn't matter at all...RIP John
Chapter One in the Church of Paul. Besides being a mad-genius musician, everything the guy say is generous and forgiving. Has Paul ever uttered a cynical, angry comment? He's a gem of a fellow, a treasure.
I can understand her reaction to his call. He judged her harshly in the beginning and she was understandably suspicious as to why Paul would call her out of the blue like that. Glad they at least tried to patch it up, but as he said before, they will never be great friends. Let it be.
Paul had spent a lot of time believing that Yoko drove he and John apart, but that's just not true. John just fell in love with her, that's it. And let it be known that, in 1974, while John and Yoko were separated, it was PAUL who made a point to go see John, to tell him that he should reconcile with Yoko. PAUL brought them back together. Paul could have EASILY told John to just forget about Yoko, but that's not what he did. He took himself out of the equation, saw how unhappy John was without Yoko, and told him he needed to go back.
She was not The Beatles. I saw the bit where they were jamming with some famous musician and Yoko starts screaming randomly into a mic for attention. That said, it was a good gesture, and her response was very Yoko. Then again I was born in '73. I barely registered the significance when John was killed.
The fact that all these comments completely disrespect everything he’s trying to get across is terrible. Just because you hate women doesn’t mean you have to go around shouting it
Very nice in theory but how loving is it to treat Julian the way she did w/his own Father’s belongings where he had to buy them back. Once that was done, you can’t take it back with all the apologies in the World. There are many reasons that people do make up, to just use that term, but it doesn’t mean any love was lost. Hard to trust once something big like that happens but of course that didn’t directly affect McCartney. Always easier to play nice when you’re not the brunt of something as he was w/Michael Jackson. Although, that was his fault by sharing knowledge which is power.
Paul was always the most articulate in press interviews. Read Maureen Cleave’s newspaper profile. Watch the Hamburg “horrible snobby” clip on RUclips. Nothing weird at all.

It felt like he was trying to be the grown up in the room while the rest of the band was a bit immature. They didn't seem like they cared to be in a band, but he did. He seemed a lot more invested in the Beatles than the rest of them and was maybe trying a bit too hard. He was also the only one who looked right into the camera and called out exactly what was happening. In the years since his insights are the ones that hold up to the test of time. Fortunately John came around eventually and admitted he was wrong about Alan Klein (and a lot of other things). I'm sure they would be great friends today if John had lived.
Iv met Paul and Linda at a party at their house in Heswal...Linda was bloody lovely...I was only 19 years old and she came and sat with me and my girl friend and chatted. I thought it was so generous of her to make the effort...A really kind person....someone told me recently she borrowed them £20,000 to buy a house (a relative) But all the same just a lovely person. Paul was very normal too. No airs or graces just normal.
some body language by Paul suggesting he's having trouble with this.
It takes an amazingly strong, self-aware, humble person to admit that you may be wrong about someone and reach out to make amends. A lot of people can't do that, myself included.
Trust your first impression Paul.
Paul forgot to mention that she tried to hook up with him first and when that didn’t work she went after John. She was a gold diggers and had to be sued to give a bit of money to Julian.
WHAT
@@reyph03nyx It is true, but for all of her flaws it's boring slut shaming, so what if she tried to have sex with him? They were good looking dudes. She was a fairly renowned artist, she didn't need either of them. The only dodgy thing about it is when she tried to pretend she hadn't heard of The Beatles before she met them, sure lady. But it's hardly gold digging when she was successful before John.
@@Spaced92 You have a fair point, but still that does sound suspicious, and she did some mean things. Also, I'n not exactly a Yoko fan.
John shoulda kept yoko out!!!! of the studio!!! and yoko shoulda understood .
..but what Paul said was nice..
In a recent radio interview..just during the pandemic Paul said that Yoko did break up the Beatles .
Sean said last year in a radio interview that him and his mother didn't see eye to eye on many things when he was a teenager.... He wanted to go to boarding school in England to be closer to Julian and he wanted to live in England. He said he felt closest to his dad there ...spiritually..and hated living in America for many years.
Yoko would not allow him to go which he said he held a grudge with her for that for a long time.
I feel Sean is speaking out more now his mum is so sick. I hear his mum needs carers now and rarely leaves the Dakato. Even prior to pandemic.
Good on you Sean for loving Julian. Xo
And what interview did he say that? Because on Howard stern and other shows he said that Yoko didn’t break up the Beatles, John did because he left
Yoko Ono is as hard as nails .
Paul has a lot of class. He does not "like" Yoko. He saying this out of respect for his friend, John. Yoko treated Julian horribly. I really don't think had John lived they would have stayed together.
What a man... such a role model for everyone.
After watching them doing freakout jams when they had nothing else to do or couldn't practice as The Beatles in Get Back, I enjoy learning about their relationship. Yoko always seemed chill while they practiced and have fun with John and Paul when she could.
Paul is from heaven. I never loved the Beatles ( I liked them, but was more into The Who and LED Zep) , but I always deeply respected Paul as a person and musician. Yoko is one of the most vilified people in the history of popular music, and for good reason, but Paul gave her respect and grace here. Out of his love for his departed friend.
Thank you for being honest about your feelings for that band.
You still have a lot more fondness for them than I do.
@@jonbush2370 thank you. I was trying to be magnanimous. In truth - If you gave me a choice of the big bands from 60-70’s ( Who, Zep, Stones, Floyd, Hendrix, Doors, Bowie, Allmans, Tull, Cream , etc ) The Beatles would be at or near the bottom. I didn’t hate them , I was just indifferent to them.
Peace.
@@michaelcavallacci2945 you're awesome!
Paul is being extremely charitable here.
I shook her hand. She scared the shit out of me. And she was beautiful!
oh yeah..yoko is a sweetheart
I don’t know.
Her selling John’s stuff, and Julian having to buy it to have letters of his father; speaks volumes as to who she is.
Yoko’s Voice was sooo BAD; but John was tooo in LOVE to Hear It!!!
She manipulated Lennon into giving her writing credit for Imagine. He thought he was being a feminist.
The Emperor has no voice.
That wasnt love! that was having your brain scrambled by Arty sycophants into thinking any old junk can be art.Heroin became John's tea introduced by Yoko, this is a trick often used by pimps to make prostitutes easy to mindcontrol,she was from an elite powerful banking family already had a child taken away and been in a mad house,her art friends in London even said all they needed was money and that was her main job.This was her way to the top!she tried getting money from Paul first to subsidise her career which didnt work!John was the last shot at the golden goose pretending she didnt know who the Beatles where?tell me another one!but sometimes it is like this when dominated mentally it's called Stockholm syndrome!
@@marksimons4108 wait a sec yoko was from a wealthy banking family??
@@stephenstrang590 yes she was!
All this shows is that Paul really had no knowledge about narcissists. Nobody did really, in those days. Once John died she was secure that she would call the shots with Paul. First hand. Not through John. Now SHE was in the driver's seat of John's legacy and would use her powers at board meetings. She would call the shots for The Beatles as if she was John, from here on out. That was her character.
Of course personality-wise she could still charm or appear reasonable when it was useful to her. But the goal remains the goal, and it's to get her way no matter what.
Bull
absolutely correct!
Ain’t gunna lie but she looks like the kinda person to stab you in your sleep...
I am a behaviourist … here Paul is lying. But in good interest.
In other words, she is a hardass who does not consider other people's feelings and well-meant intentions. Just adding a "thank you" or "I appreciate your effort" here and there would make a world of difference.
Once, when the camera panned, there was a small mirror near the edge of the screen where you could see Yoko... and her very large revolver (and I don't mean the album).
Such a beautiful, vile, thoughtful creature the One is. So sorry Sir Paul that you were forced to endure close, physical contact with the visitor from Haedes.
Nobody can be fully understood without communication. How many relationships have been destroyed on the basis of assumptions?
or actions?
Yoko Ono is solid proof that John Lennon was doing some serious drugs!
This made me cry
I wonder how John would have felt if Paul had started bringing Linda to every Beatles recording session to sit next to him all the time and offer her critiques of the others' (including John's) work.
Exactly. It was John basically flexing. And I'm a huge fan of John. The one thing that drove Paul even after all that reefer was competition for just the sake of it. John did not care for that and so deliberately fucked with Paul. They were past friends they were brothers there love for each other goes beyond words. John was just being his pushy self and Paul was being his self critical self. I used to feel disdain for Paul thinking there was something about him that John hated and there was good reason to. Paul was just a kid I now see. He was not playing head games. And if he was he was just having a go at it never actually wanting to hurt or confuse anyone. Anyways that's just my piece. I can only imagine what sort of world we would live in if John was here. It's almost like a universal direction shift. Paul was content with the way things were. John would of made sure that the world didn't turn out the way it has. It's really beyond awareness to hypothesize the effect John's death had on the course of the world.
Well now we see Paul did bring Linda and Heather.
@@stephenstrang590 Well eat your words. We now see Paul did bring Linda and Heather.
@@lyricberlin Did Lynda come everyday and sit in on the group as if she was part of it Lynda came occasionally and had the decency and discretion not to but in and answer for Paul
This comment aged poorly. You are right
What I gather from this video is that Paul made a sincere effort to extend an olive branch of peace, and Yoko was too snotty and contrarian to reciprocate.
I’d love to see this whole interview.
She was and is everything he thought. He just wanted to make peace. She was in process of setting up a divorce until John told her he'd been writing songs in Bermuda. Then she quickly set everything back in place before he returned.
Not true
I Believe Julian Lennon!!!
Yoko is the biggest troll in the history of music and art, you have to respect that i guess.
That was generous!
We all did Paul❤️❤️❤️❤️
What hurts other people Is her voice
She was now in control of John's part of the beatles so Paul had to get along with her. That's the reality. Shame because she contributed nothing.
Exactly, that is why you can't take Paul and Ringo seriously about Yoko. Paul called her for business purposes . They need her okay to make more money with the Beatles name and legacy.
Yes, I didn't think about that angle.
LOL, yeah all that about, "I'm calling because I think John would have wanted me to", sounds like a lot of bs.
Nothing? She gave John a son and was the love of his life.
@@dins5066 "she Gave John a child", how gynocentric is that phrase? You could equally say he gave her a child, the more so if you consider that he supported it and gave it a legacy. "She was the love of his life", another cliched uncritical phrase. Maybe she was his narcissistic slave owner. Anyway what point, and why should any of us care? He's dead and she's got all his loot and the reflection of his fame.
Her screaming in the microphone during the let it be sessions was so off it was disturbing. Apart from that- well, she was John's girl and that's that.
John loved Magic Alex, Allen Klein, Phil Spector but after some time, he found out about them and quit. He just needed more time to find out about Yoko.
He knew the real Yoko not the one you racists spin lies about
@@lyricberlin Playing the "race" card is not enough.
I felt the way John and Yoko showed themselves to Sybil, his wife, was callous and cruel. She came home to find them together, staring into each other’s eyes, or something. It spelled out, you are out, Yoko is in. It was needlessly cruel and unfeeling.
Paul says "I think she was very caring" ha, just ask Julian, tish tosh!! 😜🙄
James Paul McCartney (Liverpool, 18 de junio de 1942) es un cantautor, compositor, músico, multiinstrumentista, escritor, activista, pintor y actor británico; que junto a John Lennon, George Harrison y Ringo Starr, ganó fama mundial por ser el bajista y uno de los cantantes de The Beatles, reconocida como la más popular e influyente en la historia de la música moderna; su asociación compositora con Lennon es una de las más célebres del siglo xx. Después de la separación de la banda, continuó su carrera musical en solitario y formó Wings con su primera esposa, Linda, y Denny Laine.
Yes, we know.
Pauls emotional maturity is an example for us all.
Omg I cried about the things Linda said .. 😭😭😭
For two people that were all about peace and love, they sure didn't practice it in their personal lives.
The people who claim to love humanity are the ones who hate their fellow human beings the most.
I don't know why people like to break apart every word a man says looking for bullshit behind it. Why can't we just take people at their word, and trust in them saying what they feel? At this point in time John was dead, and I think Paul was simply doing what he thought was right, checking in now and again on his brother's widow. Paul didn't have to love Yoko to do that, it was out of his love for John and his attempt to do what he felt his friend would want him to do. As time went on, I think all the issues Paul had with Yoko were in the past, and now none of it mattered as it was ancient history and John was gone. At that point, he could step back, act dispassionately and just call her up without worrying about a thing, because all the bad was forgotten and that's just what he felt he should do. I certainly respect him for it, and understand where his head and heart was at.
Without Yoko there would be no Double Fantasy
For me, that is priceless.
This is very big of Paul indeed!
With having his life stolen from him so. Why shouldn’t John of found love. I’m glad he did. I love the Beatles as much as the next head but I also love there solo careers. As George sang
ALL THINGS MUST PASS!!!
Agape love my friends
Oh hail no! She was who you thought, and she still is. You want to claim she is oh-so goodly and misunderstood? Just remember that that woman (1) required her sap of a husband to search the world for *her* kid by her first husband, [child's name was] Kyoko, and literally at the *same* time (2) abandon and disinherit Julian, John's son by his first marriage, because Julian was not her (Yoko's) kid.
When John died Julian got nothing and had to fight Yoko in court for a paltry 20 million of what now are hundreds of millions. And Yoko wouldn't even give Julian any personal effects of John's as keepsakes; Julian had to buy them on auction. So, Paul, quit lying. Yoko was and is the demon that split up The Beatles and that has marred their memory.
Truth!!!
That may be true, but you shouldn't say that into a microphone while the cameras are rolling.
@@PrimoStracciatella well put..and made me smile!
True
Maybe it's his way of avoiding a lawsuit.
From all the info that has been put out there about Yoko.
It's understandable why this women not only appears like a non maternal piece of stone.But was also able to manipulate John from the very beginning that she was an Artist????..!
Creepy....!
Excellent analysis from Paul. I of course don't know Yoko but it's exactly what I feel about her. People, during last century, hated women who "assumed" themselves, like men do. And maybe they still do today.
Also, let us at least mention their obvious jealousy of her world famous singing ability. I bet Chuck Berry never reacted to Linda's singing the way he did to Yoko's.
I don’t know Yoko. I only know her singing voice sets me on edge. I simply can’t listen.
as of this writing, yoko is 88.
That's like 17 in un-dead years.
I just can't get the english language by heard but I would like to understand what he say. I'm using translator to wrtie this.
Yeah? Well Yoko refused to give or even sell ANY of John’s personal possessions to John’s son Julian after John’s death. I think Yoko’s a hard, insensitive woman. That’s what I think.
Although I personally have no love for Yoko and who cares, I do think John loved her very much and that's really all that matters and since John has been gone all these years it's really doesn't matter at all...RIP John
You really can’t get any classier than Paul….
He's sir Paul for a reason.
Ok . I have no idea . Really do any of us? Enjoy the music.😎
Chapter One in the Church of Paul. Besides being a mad-genius musician, everything the guy say is generous and forgiving. Has Paul ever uttered a cynical, angry comment? He's a gem of a fellow, a treasure.
I love Paul
No. Yuko is horrible
I can understand her reaction to his call. He judged her harshly in the beginning and she was understandably suspicious as to why Paul would call her out of the blue like that. Glad they at least tried to patch it up, but as he said before, they will never be great friends. Let it be.
Paul had spent a lot of time believing that Yoko drove he and John apart, but that's just not true. John just fell in love with her, that's it.
And let it be known that, in 1974, while John and Yoko were separated, it was PAUL who made a point to go see John, to tell him that he should reconcile with Yoko. PAUL brought them back together.
Paul could have EASILY told John to just forget about Yoko, but that's not what he did. He took himself out of the equation, saw how unhappy John was without Yoko, and told him he needed to go back.
That's a homie right there but the sad thing is Yoko is such a B
She was used as a passive aggressive means to break up the group.
This gives me a lot to think about....I never considered it that way....hmmmm...let me think....Nah....
She was self absorbed. Once in studio she ate George's cookies without his permission and he freaked out and called her bitch.
that's probably the most upsetting thing she's done , in my eyes :/
@@rainbowrotcod Not upsetting but quite inconsiderate in my opinion
She was not The Beatles. I saw the bit where they were jamming with some famous musician and Yoko starts screaming randomly into a mic for attention. That said, it was a good gesture, and her response was very Yoko. Then again I was born in '73. I barely registered the significance when John was killed.
Nice of Paul, but Yoko was/is a freak.
I fucking love this man!
I think Paul is financially motivated with his apology to yoko
What do you mean?
Of course.
The fact that all these comments completely disrespect everything he’s trying to get across is terrible. Just because you hate women doesn’t mean you have to go around shouting it
Very nice in theory but how loving is it to treat Julian the way she did w/his own Father’s belongings where he had to buy them back. Once that was done, you can’t take it back with all the apologies in the World. There are many reasons that people do make up, to just use that term, but it doesn’t mean any love was lost. Hard to trust once something big like that happens but of course that didn’t directly affect McCartney. Always easier to play nice when you’re not the brunt of something as he was w/Michael Jackson. Although, that was his fault by sharing knowledge which is power.
I ❤ Yoko Ono Lennon
🎉 Happy 90th Bday, Yoko 🎉
Paul seems weirdly much more expressive in this interview than you normally see him.
Paul was always the most articulate in press interviews. Read Maureen Cleave’s newspaper profile. Watch the Hamburg “horrible snobby” clip on RUclips. Nothing weird at all.
