@@larryabecid2819 At the end of their trip in India, it was apparent the maharishi (who's knowledge they had sought) was a pretty shit person. So the journey ended on a bad note. But the trip over and back wasnt bad haha
shiva yesss, John is alive, running the most lucrative secret drug business known to man in the undergrounds of Mexico. He's indeed manufacturing it. Nothing is a coincidence
Paul's total and unconditional love and admiration for John, and his complete inability to hide any of it for even a fraction of a second, is one of the most moving things ever.
Isn't it? It's endearing how John would never fail to make Paul giggle like a schoolgirl. Nobody made him smile like that, not even Linda. It's also moving how John would jump to Paul's protection. God forbid you'd make Paul uncomfortable in any way if John was around. He'd fucking kill you.
@@defaultc00kies63 That’s sentimental, gushing nonsense. Paul and John were big boys - neither ever needed the other to come to his defence. They had a lot of mutual respect but also plenty of rows, rivalry and mutual antagonism. Their relationship was complex and not the doe-eyed love affair you describe.
They were brothers. Brothers fight sometimes, but they have each other’s back. Even when they were slagging each other off in the Seventies, they didn’t want any outsider to be doing it.
Prophets and pockets isn't an exact rhyme, but I agree that Paul was more ready to laugh or at least smirk when he was in the presence of John Lennon, the master comedian of the Beatles.
Most interviews you can tell that John had an underlying hostility in his disposition and answers. Paul on the other hand almost always seems very at ease and, even when looking not thrilled to be there, very cordial and polite. I think there’s many interesting dynamics and contrasts that made their partnership so interesting and successful
my EXACT same interpretation! this interview cemented a very important fact that dominated their whole relationship...John was TWO YEARS older than paul...and when you are young, 14 and 16 is a huge age gap and the younger one will always be the one to look up to the cool funny older kid that has befriended him:)
@@cs6966 you are so right George Harrison used to follow John around when they were young and he really looked up to John in the beginning of the relationship
@@JohnSandwich John giggled when Paul winked at the camera. John doesn't usually giggle. I think they were both high. It's just that Paul was moving a bit slower than John and was a bit more giggly.
Reporter: "There seems to be a report of you ( Paul) endorsing L.S.D.", John: "Endorsing, we were manufacturing it".... OMG, what a response in the "60's!!!
Reminds me of another interview he did back in 1964, during their first visit to America. Someone was interviewing John and he said “There are 40 million people here...” while pointing to the camera. John replied “there’s only one person there,” talking about the camera man. roflmao it was perfect.
I love John's wit here. He's nice enough, but keeps picking at him. I love it. I love both of their honesty, and it really shows how well the two of them complemented each other. What an amazing duo. It just reminds me of how horrible it is that we don't have John still out there making these sorts of comments.
@@BobGnarley. I'm not sure about that. Paul toured consistently after the break up, but you can count the number of live shows John did on one hand. I really don't think he liked it.
Larry: "how was your day Paul??"....Paul: "It was ok Larry".......Larry: "John, how was your day?...John: "Do you really care Larry??..everyday we die a bit much more"........That's the difference between them...Love them both.
They are completely different characters, but it is great to see how paul understands johns sense oh humour, doesnt take him to seriously. John always had inteligent comments.
And the cool thing is that the interviewer, Larry Kane, was actually pretty close friends with Lennon. Lennon once did a charity with Larry at his news studio and did the weather report live on air lol.
@@aaronquist8125 In "The Beatles 8 Days A Week" movie by Ron Howard, Larry made a point that when he started touring with the Beatles press core, his Mom had just passed away. John and Paul of course lost their Mom young as well. So when they heard about it they actually came over him privately and talked to him, asked him if he needed anything, and told him he could talk to them any time he needed to. John and Paul were very good guys behind the curtain of fame.
Does he not just mean that the journey going there was terrible but once they got there it was great? Do you think he was talking about lsd or something?
"I love him.... At the end of the day, when it's all said and done, I would do anything for him, and I think he would do anything for me." -- John Lennon on Paul McCartney, to Dave Sholin of RKO Radio, morning of Dec. 8, 1980
Please note that this is just my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. Larry was the what we used to call "a company man." John called him Larry Page, but his name is Larry Kane. He was corporate Americas idea of a good worker. Someone who would have taken the pill in the Matrix that would have returned him to his regular reality. He traveled with the Beatles on their 1964 US tour. They would tease with him all the time like they are doing here, but they developed an affection for him even through he was as straight-laced as they get. John and the Beatles offered to hire him so he would not have to go into the military, but he refused. I'm pretty sure he was drafted and not a volunteer. He went in during the Vietnam War and made it out alive. He developed a soft place in his heart for the original Beatles. I think this is the original John and Paul because they may have thought after traveling with them a year, Larry may recognize if they had sent doubles. They were using doubles constantly to do public appearances after 1966, but they were still providing the vocals in the studio. That's what Paul meant when he said, "We're still singing" in the studio. The other 3 kept singing after 1966, but not sure about the original Paul. His parts seem to be sang by Bill Shepard. Larry wrote books about the Beatles. I bought one of his books about the Beatles early years. He didn't like the changes that took place beginning in 1967 and talked about how the new Paul would not even give him an interview. He didn't call him the new Paul, but it's clear what he meant. One reason he may have refused interviews is I'm sure he thought he would not be able to answer the questions since he wasn't there in the early years as Paul. Again, this is just my opinion, nothing more, nothing less.
"Happiness is a Warm Gun", while a great tune, has always had a bit of a macabre tone, knowing what happened to him about 12 years after it was released.
Yeah?? I know? I was just saying, some people find it rude when he says things like that, and they should know that he's not being serious. I think he's very funny
I love all these reporters who tried to be snide, pompous and arrogant and John, in particular, would rip through them like warm butter. You couldn't compete with his wit.
hdholl There are much better ways to go about asking questions and I think John just had a field day. But I can see how one could consider it arrogant.
@@rayroren6293 Well, that was a film John did, with Richard Lester. The theatrical production in question, was an adaptation of John's books, In His Own Write and A Spaniard in the Works.
Why didn't anyone ever ask the Beatles interesting questions, such as "John, how the bloody hell did you write Strawberry Fields Forever? Seriously. That shit is so original it should be illegal, but it's also effortlessly accessible and pleasing to the ear, yet it makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck by how creepy it sounds. How is that even possible to do all in one song? What are the chances that Strawberry and Penny Lane -- two of the greatest songs ever written -- would end up on the same 45? Does that make your head fucking explode when you think about it?" That's what I'd ask.
Here's the answer he could give: ' ello chap. This is Winston O'Boogie from beyond the grave state of death. Written in Spain while filming "How I Won The War". Boredom between scenes made me think about Mimi and my father and all that. Had it in a wonky time, so I had Paul help me out a bit with that thing. The rest is mine. Wrote it, wrote the melody. Paul wrote Penny Lane after hearing my Strawberry song. I was the one that lived on Penny Lane, you see. He'd come and hang out with me when he wanted to feel hip. I gave him "Four of fish and finger pie" like I wrote "What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you, but I know it's mine" for the Help Friends. I never liked how it came out. The orchestra was recorded for when I wanted it to be like a classical song, but dropped it. George tried speeding it up and I thought it sounded OK over the backing tracks. We most have spent more time on that song than any song we'd ever done until then. What else were we supposed to do? We were used to touring and now here we were. Back in Abbey Road. No movie to film. No tour dates. Along with Across The Universe it's probably the best songs that I ever wrote, you know. The released versions sound terrible, though. Nothing much I can do about it now. Just sad I never got to finish Milk & Honey. I wanted to make up with George and Paul, too. This is Dr. Winston O'Boogie and his Dirty Mac's saying hasta luego!
For me, what really stands out in this interview is the absolute cohesion of Lennon and McCartney. People spend so much time saying how bad their relationship was, but this video shows they were in lock-step on just about everything they discussed. They seemed very relaxed with each other, and the similarities in their thinking is remarkable. Very interesting video :-)
In many ways they were opposites and that’s why the were so good together. They filled in each other’s deficits. Their family backgrounds were also far apart. Lennon was much more affluent but his family life was weird! He thought his mother was actually his aunt. He saw her get hit by a vehicle and and die right in front of him. McCartney’s family was much poorer but very close and very supportive of his musical talents. Lennon was a bit older and more of a big brother to Paul and George. Once they figured out they could write their own songs together they were joined at the hip! It was hard for George to eventually break through. Both John and Paul had written songs individually in the past but once they joined forces they became legendary! I still don’t think they were as good individually later as they were in their prime years together!
4:56 Paul desperately wanted to answer, YES I miss the crowds, and touring, hence the quick lick of the lips, he was born to perform, which is why he was the best showman of the Beatles, it was in his heart.
Funny how the late 60s seems like a totally distant time from the early 60's. When the repoter asked if they missed the big crowds, it looked like they were talking about something that happen 10 or 20 years earlier.
@Rudy Overlord I think paul doesn’t always mean to be domineering. outside work he’s said to be lovely, i think it’s just because he knows what he wants and how he wants it. if it’s his song, he wants it done how he imagined. he could be much nicer about it but he’s not being this looming figure just to be one.
John lennon is such a hilarious person and paul mccartney is a honest. They both have pure souls, they are not hiding behind poker faces not trying to draw a public image so that more and more fans would love them. They are plain real and that's what we have been missing for a long time...
It's so clear the relationship between John and Paul was that of older brother who respected, but didn't quite know what to do with his younger sibling, and younger brother who absolutely worshipped the ground his big bro walked on. Touching and heartbreaking.
Cassie Rosa No it's not,and we're protesting how unfair it is on 25 March...We'll show him. Other people desrve the chance to be beautiful too ya know.
"We lost 13 Pounds and we looked a day older." That is so funny, just the way he kept on everybodys back all the time. He is truly missed in this crazy world.
That was quite a sincere response to that question. After a few months of meditation and vegan diet you'd probably drop 13 pounds and look a day older as well.

@Zoe TheCat because we aren’t here to be happy all the time- we are here to experience and be present with everything that life offers: pain, joy, sorrow, etc. 💜
@@_d.v.j.l_2624 yes agree but we weren't there And who doesnt make major regrettable mistakes in life. I know I have. Plus, i can only imagine that his childhood and the incredible loss and pain he went through made fatherhood so intimidating so young. I'm just guessing there. I think he felt all he had room for was yoko. U can hear that at the end of his song god. So desperately sad, u can hear his pain.
@@Kelvinack He looked up to John in many ways, but he was the stronger musician. He taught John. It is inaccurate and just wrong to say the admiration went one way. They treated each other as equals.
His first wife Cynthia wrote in her book “John” that back in 1966 an astrologer told her and John that he would be shot in America. This happened during the whole “better than Jesus” fiasco and they thought something might happen to him when the Beatles were touring America that year. As it turned out, he survived that tour just fine, so they both thought the astrologer was full of it. Really creepy how the astrologer turned out to be right...
@@Pezeshful yeah and also at 4:04 he says “it’s a drag” which was exactly what he said to the press the day that John was killed. Maybe he just says it’s a drag a lot but it seems strange
That was amazing to watch! Larry Kane, interviewer, was on the TV news in Philadelphia. And the Beatles truly liked him. John is so quick, Paul barely has time to get a word in. Paul is giggling, stoned? I don't know, but this reminds me of why the whole world loved them. And miss them.
So, it's pretty clear to me that they're both stoned to oblivion. Paul in a little haze, and John in "screw with interviewer" mode. Both combined, make for an awesome interview!
You dont know anything tbh. If you know anything about drugs, its miserable to be on drugs in public being asked questions. These guys were sober at the very least.
When I was in New York with my girl back in 2000, we hailed a cab & I said 'The Dakota building please'. Our aim was to pay our respects outside & take a walk over Strawberry Fields opposite. To our amazement the Cab turned right into the Dakota Arch & dropped us on the steps of the foyer inside. I said 'sorry mistake' to the doorman who opened the door & we walked back out under that arch. The empty sadness I felt there was quite overwhelming. Especially when we got over to the 'Imagine' circle.
John and Paul getting along famously during the White Album era. Makes you wonder if all the hype about the friction during the making of that album is as bad as legend says it was.
I have read that Ringo actually quit the group during it's recording. He was somehow lured back, tho. Apparently the reason Eric Clapton was invited to the sessions was so that he could be a 'healing' influence.
@@osamabinladen824 yes it is It's in Anthology ''I had definitely left, I couldn’t take it any more. There was no magic and the relationships were terrible. I’d come to a bad spot in life. It could have been paranoia, but I just didn’t feel good - I felt like an outsider. But then I realised that we were all feeling like outsiders, and it just needed me to go around knocking to bring it to a head. I got a telegram saying, ‘You’re the best rock’n’roll drummer in the world. Come on home, we love you.’ And so I came back. We all needed that little shake-up. When I got back to the studio I found George had had it decked out with flowers - there were flowers everywhere. I felt good about myself again, we’d got through that little crisis and it was great. And then the ‘White’ album really took off - we all left the studio and went to a little room so there was no separation and lots of group activity going down''
Paul knows john loved him, and john knew paul loved him. Like I said while answering to another person. They both deeply cared about each other, the medias tried to paint them as rivals when there's thousands of photographic evidence to prove them wrong. And you right, this video right there shows how john felt about Paul and how much he loved them, by this time they were working on the white album you'd think they were at each other but they weren't. They were still on good terms, of course this was prior to yoko's arrival on the scene, but you can see they loved each other. The only time john attacked Paul was when he announced the band was over. He was quoted saying he wanted to go public but Paul stopped him, and went public with it himself. It Angered him, but they made up in the 70s as you probably already know. So I'm pretty sure that Paul already knows that lol hehe. ☺️
I love this interview. They both look so iconic with their contrasting outfits, Paul looks like a fashion icon, John looks like he’s in The Godfather. Total bosses. The GOAT.
John Lennon was killed in 1980. It would have been nice if he at least lived for a good 40 years after that though, if not still alive today along with George Harrison... 😔
The best line in this interview is the very last line where John says to the interviewer "and you can join Apple whenever you like". Subtle piss take that line is after talking about how Apple is being set up to help amateurs. I love it.
