Paul is an old soul, a philosopher and a teacher. In his interviews and songs, he seems to observe, process and explain life so simply and completely. A deep and thoughtful man whose happy go lucky persona belies a magnificent multidimensional mind.
Linda's quite comfortable here, I'm happy for her! She once said she didn't enjoy the spotlight or interviews, but here she seems very happy and makes many jokes
He mellowed out considerably and really went 'pop' right after the break-up of Wings in 1981, starting with that year's 'Ebony and Ivory', to be followed by his solo releases (Tug Of War, Pipes Of Peace, etc.), his MTV-era duets with Michael Jackson, the schmaltzy 'No More Lonely Nights' etc. He was anything but 'rock' in the 80's. Safe pop is more like it. I think what you meant was Paul rocked the 1970s so hard..
@@tanjaradun3998 no. He had indeed retired from writing songs. He returned to music because he heard Coming Up from McCartney II and said that "Paul won't get all the praise to himself". Most of the songs on Double Fantasy and the follow-up Milk & Honey were written after a trip on boat that inspired Lennon to write songs as "if he was looking to getting signed". He even wrote songs for a posible Beatles album. Those songs were released on Anthology 1 and 2. There other songs weren't worked by the others tho.
@@polandsopotgirl he is a music genius which makes him famous n wealthy . If he worked at McDonald's you wouldnt even glance at him but because hes rich n famous you get all hot n bothered and will do anything to touch him .
@@deanajandeny65 I read a biography of Paul McCartney, back in the 80s. Linda purposefully adopted an English accent because Paul told her to; she did not have an accent prior to marrying Paul in 69. Paul apparently thought, at the time, American accents were crass/low class (according to the book, at least). Even John and Maypang made fun of her accent (behind her back, of course), when Paul and Linda visited them in L.A. back in 74.
@Kate Thing is, Olivia Harrison (George Harrison's wife), has lived in the U.K. for almost 45 years. But just listen to an interview with Olivia; there's no sign of a U.K. accent at all. Olivia still sounds American. How could Linda have a British accent just after two or three years in the U.K.? And if you listen, she's imitating Paul really. I think the accent is fake. Plus, like I said, Maypang said in her book, she and John knew it was fake (and John, if anyone, would probably have a good idea if it was fake or not).
@@thehighllama8101 Stanley Kubrick lived in England for the last 40 years of his life and never lost his Bronx accent. But Terry Gilliam has lived there since the mid-1960s and he has a slight but noticeable English accent. So it can happen.
It’s funny to watch this because my daughter just took off in her car, and had her stereo blaring, “Coming Up!” I come in, and look at my phone, and I see this on RU-vid. Ironic huh? I love my kids.
Yes Rosemary's Baby (1968) was filmed at the Dakota. Great film. And Dear Prudence i think was about Mia Farrow's sister who was in India with the Beatles. More coincidences.. they don't stop!
Dakota also the place where Rosemarys Baby was filmed. Actress Mia Farrow was with the Beatles on their famous trip to India back in the 60s after they quit touring. People there are NO coincidences. Question everything!!! This is mainstream news, what is their track record so far of bringing you the truth about anything??? JFK? 9/11? Think about it.
this interview was obviously done before June 18 because Paul said he was 37 and in 1980 he turned 38. This is quite a while before John was shot later on that year.
I love Paul's line "Who's counting?" In the news every day now, there's a constant shift in headlines "Elon Musk is richest person" to "Jeff Bezos is richest person" to whoever. When you have that much money, who gives a damn?
Hence the lyric; "People Say I'm Crazy,,,Doin What I'm Doin" I would say John did see this interview and it along with McCartneys lp in 1980 plus the experience on the yacht in Bermuda all fed into his comeback in late 1980.
At 37-38 he looked just like a Beatle.Very much like he did in 1968-1969. By 1980 he had not that horrible mullet of his anymore, and he looked way better than in the 70s.
In those days pop artists were considered middle aged in their mid to late 30s.. That's why the reporter is marvelling at Paul being 37/38 and still at it. The Beatles had broken up just 10 years prior to this interview yet it was made to seem like a lifetime ago. I remember watching a lightweight boxing title fight in the late 80s and the one guy was considered at a disadvantage due to his old legs(29 years of age!)
Given that Paul says he's 37, and they've been married for 11 years, it's between March and June 1980. Maybe his reference in the interview to John no longer making music helped spur John on to his sudden re-emergence ?
Wikipedia: "In the middle of 1980, Lennon made a sailing trip through treacherous waters from Newport, Rhode Island, to Bermuda. During the journey, his yacht encountered a prolonged severe storm, and most of the crew succumbed to profound fatigue and seasickness. Lennon, free of seasickness, was eventually forced to take the yacht's wheel alone for many hours. He found this terrifying but invigorating. It had the effect of both renewing his confidence and making him contemplate the fragility of life. As a result, he began to write new songs and reworked earlier demos. He commented later, 'I was so centered after the experience at sea that I was tuned in to the cosmos - and all these songs came!'" Since Paul says he's 37 here, this interview must be taking place before June 18th.
Yes, I, too, heard that. John heard Coming up on the radio, at first not realizing that this was Paul, as he's singing with an unusual vocal style. After John realized it was Paul, he said, that he didn't mind not making music while Paul was writing bad songs, but now as he liked this one, he felt being called to also start something again....
@@pete299 But John never said "bad songs." Yes, sometimes he'd slag off Paul's work, but he didn't think Paul was only writing bad songs throughout the 70s. He liked the Band on the Run album, and even though he was angry about a lot of songs on Ram, which he felt were directed at him, he still liked some of the songs. Other moments like that. I think John felt that since Paul was able to branch out into the newer 80's style of music in Coming Up, still creating popular young music, he too could be spurred into action -- the idea that the older rockers aren't dead yet. Not how it had only been "bad songs" up until that point.
@@hollytree3379 Thanks for your answer, HollyTree. Sounds right, I guess you know more about Johns particular positions to Paul's songs than I do. Very interesting, because it makes a lot of sense. I wrote it too simple, learned something now. Thanx, man! Rock on! (by the way: Paul comes to Europe in June. I'm lookin' forward to seeing' him!!!!!!!!!!) Best regards! Peter
Some people say Linda never left Paul, I don't think she did either, not even after her death, she's still watching over him, along with John and Stu :)
Linda was born and raised in the US and spent her entire life there until she married Paul at 28!! So why did she have a English accent? Don’t think it works that way!
Here accent is pretty mixed and if you’re living with someone who is British and talking constantly and living in the UK and then your children are brought up there and they have British accents then it does start to rub off on you So idk what you’re saying everyone’s different and if you’re constantly exposed to an accent then your’s might start to change and hers is only faint
I JUSt wrote about that above ...her phony Liverpool accent of hers annoys the Hell out of me ...Glad others notice the phony Scouse Talk and facial expressions UGH Paul should have stopped it makes her SO PHONY
Yes she was American born but cos she lived in England for so long she lost some of her accent. That can happen. Talking scouse though? Na leave that to Paul luv! Lol
Little did he know that John would be influenced by his "Coming Up" and start writing and recording again and ultimately be murdered, all before the end of the year.
That was lovely. They were both so happy then. If John was in a rest period the world should cry for all hi unwritten songs. Paul did well and good for him but I could cry for John. Not just for him personally as of course we all do as he was such a kind, gentle man, but all the songs that might have been written.
C'mon. John was all kind of things, funny, witty, incredibly talented... but kind and gentle? Occasionally, I suppose. And he could be very unkind, too
Rex Reed lived in the Dakota Apartments where John lived and i read where Rex said that John smoked pot all day and slept and watched tv - whether this was true or not - i bet that when the cameras were not rolling Rex gossiped about John to Paul and Linda about this.
I admired Linda McCartney but she was very sarcastic. Maybe 🤔 that caused some rows. I think Nancy Shevell is a more upbeat . He deserves the best after his loss of mother, then his dear wife.
"When Elvis Presley was forty he was fat, drunk and dying" - said the interviewer... It sounds quite funny for me... and the face's expression of Paul is priceless. :D ('1:10)
@@DavidSumeray_BassGod It's a pity all those years of screaming in his songs, and has wrecked his once beautiful sounding voice. I know he's almost 80, but even in his early 70's his voice was sounding very raspy....think he still won't lower the keys to his songs in concert. oh well
Rex Reed will do anything, say anything, for a buck. His 'reviews' are worthless; for sale to the highest bidder. Yea or nay, he doesn't care. He'll write it up whichever way you like.
She developed a British accent over the years. It happens when people live in a country where they are happy and want to be accepted by their new fellow countrymen, according to my linguistics professor.
Her accent sounds like a put on because it doesn't really sound British. Read somewhere awhile ago that Paul preferred she speak w a British accent as opposed to American and that she accomodated him. Whatever.
I don't think people realize these are not real people they are people playing a character regular people don't understand that ....they don't know at all how Show Business works. All these people look different year-to-year not just age.... totally different facial features if you look closely. All the world's indeed a stage and we are merely players performers and portrayers there's to each another's audience beyond the Gilded stage....
@@audrasitarek9113 I don't get whats so unbelievable about an American marrying an Englishman, living in the UK, meeting many English people and thus picking up a bit of an accent?
... What unkind comment about Elvis Presley, to call him fact and done. I Wonder how he himself looks like now. Im sure he has alianated millions of the Kings fans.
Yes, Paul was happy Linda had no ambitions. He had to be the center of attention. I never liked the way she spoke thru clenched teeth, and he'd never look at her during interviews. Glad he's married to Nancy Shevell now. (Almost 10 years now!!) And he's slimmed down, and dresses to the nines again (like he did with Jane Asher).
I absolutely can't stand Linda's facial expressions. Clenched teeth and tight jawed, with furtive eyes and micro facial manners. Combination of drugs, autism and a troubled marriage. As for ambition she was simply duplicitous.
Paul never married linda .Check out his hair parting.The original paul had his hair naturally from left to right.The person that married linda has his hair right to left.You cant alter the crown and the way your hair falls its genetic.The person that married Linda was not the original paul mccartney but a looka like.Thsi guy on this vidoe is not the same one that married linda.
OldSchoolVibes 1978 and has become a billionaire! I guess Billy? Is a superior musician. Kicked ass wrote epic Beatles tunes. Crazy post Beatles career. And still playing his heart out to this day . Not bad eh? Get over it dude. John is gone and Paul is soaring!!!!!!!!
