Comparto una conversación entre Sean Lenon y Paul McCartney durante una celebración especial conmemorando el 80º aniversario del nacimiento de John Lennon, Emitido por BBC2. ✿ Follow me on: ▪ / sooygiss ▪ / sooygiss
Harrison was age 14, McCartney age 15, Lennon age 17 when they first met in 1957. In 6-7 yrs they were the biggest thing in the world. They're still the biggest thing in the world almost 60 yrs later.
Yes it is but Sean's 45 years old here, he has lived about 6 years more of life than his father. His father's experience in his 40 years would be like 100 years of non stop insanity, and if Sean lives to be a 120 he still wouldn't have lived long enough to experience what his father has in his short brilliant 40 years of life.
Paul is a very intelligent and nice man. He is a loving man. He loved Linda's daughter from a previous marriage as though she were his own. As soon as he learned of her existence in the US, he insisted on bringing her to her mother in England ASAP.. He was kind to Julian and Cynthia after the Beatles broke up. He did not have to agree to do this interview in a public, recorded way in order to help Sean out, but he did. Paul is one of the good guys. I loved the little insights and stories he shared here and I'm sure Sean did too.
Paul also has a heckuva sense of humor. It doesn’t surface here, but when he was interviewed by Conan O’Brian he went toe to toe and proved to be quite clever with his joking. Interesting how people adjust their presentation to their conception of the listener.
At 4:30, you can't setup a moment like that, no matter how you script it, Paul knew John's mom and here he is telling her grand child (whom he never had the change to meet) about her. Really emotional ❤
That's bullshit. McCartney would have been better off without the Beatles. Like Stephen Stills would have been better off without his backup singers, Crosby and Nash. And no person changes the world with their music. You think that because you smoke pot. However, it is true Stephen Foster changed the United Stated with his music. Trump 2020. Have a nice day.
@@sharpenflat6002 #DumpTrump, the biggest narcissist in the World working against John Lennon's 'Give Peace a Chance' attitude, which he'll always be remembered for, as opposed to you, who could die tomorrow and NEVER be missed! Just like trump, who once he loses in November will never be missed either! 2 Losers, no wonder you are both pathological liars! Goodbye Felicia!!
@@sharpenflat6002 Typical bitter angry Trumpanzee. bringing politics to a post about music, and can't resist the urge to regurgitate his political mantra. not that it really bothers me, it's actually kind of amusing and maybe a little pathetic. It's going to be a very interesting November when the good people of America choose who's going to lead the country for the next four years.I hope everybody votes. even if you're in a red state and have to spend hours on line , it's worth one day of your life to set the tone for the next four years
@@sharpenflat6002 think you need to do some research. We're you around in the 60s? The Beatles most definitely had a huge influence on music but also popular culture. I know, I was there.
BEYOND PRICELESS interview! Whole thing making me tear up(ok, cry)!..Sean, a lovely guy, always. And❤ Paulie, ❤no words, telling Sean about his father and grandmother! 😢😢😢
This whole conversation is so achingly sweet. A child wanting to know about his father when he was young, asking one of his oldest friends and that friend caring so much for his friend's child, even though that child is a man. This is just beautiful!!
@Jamie Lynne In my experience, and I admit, it might just be in mine, men take more time to explain things to children than they do adults, especially men who are near my grandparents' age do to other adult men, as Paul McCartney is
Paul used to drive over to see Cynthia & Julian after John had left her for Yoko. As he was driving over the words to what would become Hey Jude, initially it came to him as Hey Jules.
I just wish John and Paul spent more quality time with each other before John was tragically murdered. Even sadder is that they didn’t create new music together post Beatles.
"My grandmother Julia..." hit me like a ton of bricks. Just a guy wanting to know more about a family member he never got the chance to meet. Anyone else touched by that?
My own mum is getting a bit of dementia, and she now sometimes asks me if I remember my grandmother - her mother - who died in a grenade munitions factory during WW2. Ton of bricks indeed. Mum was 16 at the time, and wouldn't meet dad for another 12 years.
Elizabeth Anne Wow !!! Where did u hear this??!!! Can u elaborate more?? Would really like to know more!!! Always thought Sean was a very sensible and broad minded guy!!! It’s hard to believe this!!!!
I was the nurse on duty the night you were born, of course the same birthday as your dad. The moment was not lost on your father, as he turned to me and said “ It’s bloody cosmic!” What a privilege to be a young nurse at that time and place.
Thank you for that story Rose. I was just thinking that Sean Lennon is such an awesome interviewer and someone I wish I knew...your story completed that thought for me.
I'm not just saying this because it's Sean Lennon but this might be the best McCartney interview I've heard. He really opened up into things I've never heard before.
That is such a sweet and touching interview. I know John would be proud of sean and that sean and Paul got along so great in this interview. Great job!
Yoko didn't know johns mother, so paul was the only other person for sean to learn about his roots. We all could learn from this, our family should be very important to all of us
Wow. This conversation brought tears to my eyes. Sean's eagerness to hear about his dad and his grandma Julia is really touching, as is his respectful demeanor towards Paul. And I could tell Paul truly wanted to share with Sean everything he possibly could about Julia, and probably wished it could be more. Both guys seem really sincere and even vulnerable here. Very sweet.
Sean is the perfect guy to interview Paul, who has been interviewed a million times. It's like they met at a cafe somewhere and we are listening in. What a great listening experience
This is so emotional on so many levels. Sean asking Paul about his grandmother because he never talked to anyone who actually met her. This feels like a family thing , which is probably one of the things that makes the Beatles so special.
Paul Badoo we really don’t know that. I am sure that John brought up his parents during the five years he spent with John. I know that o told both of my young children about my parents who were not alive when they were born. They are gonna want to know who their grandparents are at some point since most of their friends have them.
@@trusso11783 John died when Sean had just turned 5 years old. Do you really think he would remember anything or much that John might have said about his mother ?? He's 45 now, seriously doubt it. This is priceless info from Paul about John and John's mom.
Paul Badoo of course he remembers things his dad told him. I have vivid memories as far back as 3. Sean is an intelligent kid. He even mentioned how John would show him Yellow Submarine and Sean later realized that John was in that band. So yeah, he remembers his early childhood. I’m sure he didn’t hear this detailed info but he must have heard about grandma from his father.
@@trusso11783 I think Sean probably meant that he hadn't conversed with anybody as an ADULT about his Grandmother...my parents no doubt told me stories when I was a toddler all about their childhoods, but they would have meant nothing to me at that age, when I reached my 20s I loved hearing all about their younger lives. Since reaching adulthood Sean has had nobody with whom he could talk about Julia.
Sean, although in his forties, sounds like a kid again talking to Uncle Paul...my heart breaks whenever he asks Paul about his dad and his grandmother. God bless you Sean, your dad adored you and your mom. It's very clear in his songs.
. its one thing to be separated from a child due to divorce or other circumstances. But John Lennon just didnt fucking care about Julian. And having to deal with Yoko was salt in the wound. Yoko made him pay for letters between the two. Thats just sick!
@@marqgoldberg7454 didn't care about Julian? wouldn't be that harsh...Julian was absolutely neglected and John's behavior in that regard was unacceptable, but you had to take into account the mitigating circumstances. Not as an excuse, but an explanation. Even Julian has said that he can understand John, even though he was wronged. The man wasn't malevolent or intentionally cruel, he was just a human being who fucked up really bad, as humans sometimes do. John was the product of a chaotic and traumatic childhood, and it took him a really long time to sort his own heaping pile of shit out. He was really young when Julian was born and probably wasn't ready for the responsibility. He didn't exactly have a good role model of how to be a good father- Beatlemania prevented him from settling down at home, bonding with his baby, and learning how. Then John gets into a horrible place with drugs and such, Yoko Ono comes along to destroy the marriage to Cynthia and demand John's sole full attention and whisk him away to New York, not to mention making the drug problem worse. FINALLY Sean is born and John begins to turn his life around, including reconnecting with his older son, though Julian was already a full ass teenager by then and a lot of irreparable damage had been done. Still, things were really looking up, and the man who was murdered in 1980 was a far better person than the 22 year old kid who became a father. Had he lived, he would've continue to grow and mature, his relationship with Julian would flourish, and he was on track to be a fantastic father to Sean.
Sean bullied minors on Twitter after they told him to unfollow Trump, told someone they should’ve been aborted & used the F & R slurs then refused to apologise for any of it, but yeah✨
You have to remember Sean was only five years old when his dad was murdered. I liked the line of questioning, in that it appears Sean was wanting to learn more about the personal, talent-related, technical, and business aspects of his dad as much as the music side. What better source than from one of John's mates, rather than the tabloids. It comes off as a nice chat, rather than so much as an interview. Well done.
At the time of John Lennon's death, Sean was 5 years old, and at that age you only see your father as an idol, he didn't got the chance to see him as a human being.
I've been to the place where they met. And they had a small "concert" by the remaining Quarrymen. It felt more like a family gathering as what Paul described in this interview. The Quarrymen chatted with us, their grandchildren and great grandchildren were dancing, some singing along, and others in the family put out some butties and tea for everyone.
Paul, my most loved & adored Beatle. As a teenager he was my everything!!! Hearing him now, it is so clear, he's a very good person with a kind heart...love you Paul..❤️
@@themanthelegendjmw Doubt it if it hasn’t happened already. Julian has such a bad taste in his mouth because of what he went through with his Father that he has said in interviews he’s not interested but I don’t know why he seems afraid the same bad events would happen as he’s not that kind of guy. At least it doesn’t appear he is. He didn’t do the drug route like John did. And if he would have had a Child out of wedlock, we would have heard about it by now. You’re supposed to be young to start your Family but it wasn’t in the cards.
This stands out to me as the greatest interview Paul has given. He is usually generous with most interviewers but this is special! He is very comfortable and has a desire to really open up for Sean. But I really must tip my hat to Sean - what amazing and insightful questions! Perhaps because he is 'almost family' he felt he could go deeper with Paul than most interviewers. Obviously very bright, he listens to Paul’s answers and then asks intelligent follow-ups. Seriously best MACCA interview I’ve heard!
I'd rank the 1967 "LSD interview" as Paul's greatest and most groundbreaking, but this certainly had a heartfelt emotion that makes it very special and utterly unique with Paul sharing those memories with Sean
Yes, this was a very welcomed treat. Sean and Paul have a nice flow going for them. I really needed to hear this. Very cool. I'd like to hear them sing together, one of these days.
Sean sounds like he's as much of a fan of McCartney's as his he is of his dad. I think most of us feel that way. This interview is special. Thank you so much.
Wow! This so amazing, isn't it? Sean got to know a bit more about his Dad & Grandma from John's best friend growing up, & soon to be song-writing partner, I really enjoyed this as I grew up to soon be a Beatles fan forever!
I agree. Best interview ever. It’s like an honesty coming out of Paul’s journaling, looking back on life. The longer you live, the more you have to write about. Loved this Interview so much.
Lennon/McCartney will forever be the best songwriting duo that ever existed. Is very cool to hear Paul speak of not knowing anything about John when he first started seeing him around town. Imagine if that meeting at the festival had never happened... It was meant to be. Some things are fate.
In his older age, Paul sounds so wise and humble. He’s made peace with his past and the fact he’ll never escape John. A wonderful picture of ageing gracefully.
I don't know if you've noticed this, but the reason that The Beatles were so successful is because: 1) They were all equal, and 2) They were all Brothers. And George Martin was their in studio surrogate musical father. They were in essence, a very close musical family all driven by the same exact passion to be listened to, acknowledged, and enjoyed... ;-) 👍👍
*I can't really choose.. They're like yin and yang in a way and complement each other so well. But I can say that I really love John, & Paul follows closely...*
It is decided! After hearing this, I refuse to teach my kids B7 on the guitar. They must journey on a bus and find someone who will show them. That is the only way to musical maturity, and the world I want to live in.
In the Beatles, John was the MIND, Paul was the HEART, George was the SOUL, and Ringo was the BODY that kept them together. Greatest band in all of history. Still even TODAY after 50+ years... So nice to hear Sean interview Paul, and Paul REALLY opening up to him. We ALL know the story, but Paul gives us the insight into how it all happened. Very touching.
Sean is looking for any family history. He was born later after the main run of the Beatles. This is so amazing to hear what Sean needs to fill in what he has never known
Sean's an all around brilliant guy. I've heard him talk on so many subjects with the same humility and wonder. Seems like a real grounded individual. It really hits home that he didn't really have a chance to get to know his Dad beyond his earliest years. Very nice, personal interview about wanting to know more about his family with a guy who grew up with his dad.
I've heard a lot of McCartney interviews and heard just about everything that has been said but Paul is really giving more in this interview. He's not just going through the motions but he is really talking. Sean has really brought something special out here. He is insightfl and engaging. Both come across, as Paul always does, as really nice human beings. I can't help but think of the lyrics that brought the McCartney and Lennon collaboration to an end, "And in the end, the love you make, is equal to the love, you take." The love Paul gets is equal to what he gives. Great interview.
@@vickielawson3114 Thank you for the correction. I was working off memory at the time and was worried when I wrote it if I got the lyrics right. But as the Beatles sang in "My Life", summing up how I feel about their songs, "I know I'll often stop and think about them, In my life, I love them all."
@Alicia en el Pais de las Maravillas Also hauntingly sounds JUST LIKE his oldest friend! I sometimes feel Sean sounds vocally more like John than Julian!!
Wow! I got to be honest, I’m so sick and tired of the typical Beatle interviews. I’ve heard them for the past 50 years.The same old questions and answers. But after listening to this entire interview , I’m obliged to say, thank god for this one! Sean, you hit a home run . I think being the son of Paul’s best friend was Intercal to bringing a new fresh angle to a very old and tied story. My feelings after listening to his interview was that this was a “new” for Paul and it was time to drop his guard and be open, truthful and honest because he was talking to his best friends son that was truly searching for some answers about his father. There are moments during the interview that Paul appears to know exactly what this interview means on a deeply emotional level to a son of a fallen soldier searching for answers. Congratulations Sean ,Well done!
On McCartney's influence over Lennon's solo music career, it starts on 18:28. It is touching to hear Sean say, "It sounds to me that he was paying attention to you, you know, throughout his career. But I don't know, I mean, I can't ask him but it seems that way."
The fact that Paul McCartney is as open, generous and comprehensive with his reminiscences of his time in the Beatles is such a valuable contribution to social history as much as anything else. Nothing worse than leaving it to the guesswork and conjecture so often resorted to by commentators with no genuine insight. The Get Back film shows that up more than ever before and dispels so many myths. Thank you for posting this lovely interview.
Johnny, I do think that Paul was incredibly generous and has always been classy enough not to slag any of his bandmates, even other musicians off. In my view, Paul was indeed the band leader, although some people would possibly completely disagree with me!
@@BrendanJohnDoherty I think John was the leader right up until Brian passed, it was exactly like Paul had said in the get back doc "daddies gone away and were on holiday" It was the need for some sort of authority figure that forced Paul into the drivers seat. This is only my opinion from what I gathered watching as many interviews and documentaries as I can. Wild you can still experience Beatlemania in 2023.
@@BrendanJohnDohertyyes Paul took over from 68 onward. White Allbum. Let It Be. Abbey Road. John happily let him take over as John was disengaged at that point. Even kind of on 1967's St Peppers as that was Paul's baby but on that one John was still in charge too though.
wildcatter63: I would guess at some point sometime John would have discussed Julia with Julian, since he was pretty much named for her. Plus I would guess Julian might have had more chances to talk to some of his English relatives about his grandmother.
One time Paul told a story about how he stayed the night ith John at Julias and Julia walked by and was wearing just revealing nightware and he literally said "she gave me a hardy" lol I can't make this up if I tried. But yeah glad he didnt bring up that story here
Paul sounds like a loving uncle talking to his li'l nephew. It's so touching hearing Sean's voice when he asks Paul about Julia, the Grandma he never had the chance of knowing or even heard about from his Dad. Paul McCartney is awesome.
Love the beatles but saying that no one can come close I think is overdoing it. There are so many musicians with equal talent if not more than Paul. Part of the beatles appeal along with their talent was that they were in the right place at the right time and ended up opening doors for other british bands for sure
@@lawrenceusher1902 12 albums in 8 years, 17 #1 hits, every album was 95% quality with usually one MAAAYYYYBEEEE two songs that weren't that great but were still pretty good....nobody will come close. Ever.
@@WhiskerWhippers I agree.bthey certainly great. I just feel that there are many super talented and successful musicians out there, like Pink Floyd, Us, Sting etc
Hard to IMAGINE that JOHN LENNON has been dead as long as he lived for now. And SEAN is now FIVE YEARS OLDER than his father ever lived to be. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY to both of them. Musical perfection never dies. RIP.
Truman Capote Yes, it’s almost surreal. I was 16 when he died, and now I’m 16 years OLDER than the aged HE was. I can’t bring myself to accept it. 40 years is a very young age to die, 40 years is a long time to be remembered, yet we all feel the tragedy was like yesterday. Thanks God we still have PAUL and Ringo. They have certainly made sure Beatles live through them.
7 February, 2021 will mark that length comparison to the day. Mm... That said, I haven't actually double-checked the skipped leap year. So maybe 8 February.
@@randomami8176 I was almost 16, It was so weird. This interview is amazing. I often wonder how things would have played out if John had been given a chance to live out his life. This is really good stuff!
Listening to this interview makes me feel so privileged to have lived my entire life through the Beatles era. Saw them live in concert in 1965 when I was only 12. Iconic symbols of my lifetime.
Damn I’m so jealous! I was 8 when I saw them on Ed Sullivan & in 9th grade when Abbey Road came out. I just loved them! ❤️ I’ve read as much as I could about them in addition to having their music collection and two trading cards (like baseball cards).
When I was 5 years old, I talked to Santa Clause on the phone on KJR Radio in Seattle, WA. KJR sent me a brand new copy of the Magical Mystery Tour album. I cherished that record growing up. It changed my life. The Beatles were a game changer for so many people, it is truly amazing what they gave to the world. I saw them on the Ed Sullivan show with my mother, but I was too young to remember it.
My favorite part of this awesome interview starts at about the 20:00 mark, where Paul says how happy he was that he and John managed to patch things up and got close again, and Sean counters how happy his father was about it as well. Paul clearly misses him so much...
I wonder if John Lennon told Paul McCartney, now Sir Paul McCartney about his mum, Julia, and her musical background. I feel sad, for Sean Lennon, losing his legendary dad, John Lennon, when he was just 5 years old.
@@michaelasquith Paul got to know Julia personally, she was still alive when he met John and, according to one of John's half sisters, Julia liked Paul a lot and used to cook for him, she felt really sorry for him that he had lost his mother at such young age...the irony of it all is that she herself would die soon...
Paul McCartney is always great being interviewed with his marvellous story telling, humour and style but with Sean Lennon being interviewing him, Paul seemed to strike a particularly rich level of communication. It was touching to hear Paul talk about John’s mother being such a free spirit and talk to Sean about “your dad” and speaking so generously and fondly about John. The love was there all right.
My son Adam who is in a well-known band called Lettuce, met Paul briefly at Madison Square Garden in NYC. Paul asked him what the name of his band. He replied “Lettuce”. Paul replied, “my band eats you guys!” My son told me Paul was such a sweet, nice man, just like you Dad.
Excellent interview, Sean! So here's this 78-year-old rocker who STILL remembers some underwhelming tune he wrote called "Just Fun"... from 65 freakin' years ago??? How impressive & awesome is THAT?! Paul's stories -- and his memories of him & John -- are so fabulous to listen to. He's still as sharp as a laser, with that iconic, pitch-perfect voice. Love you to the moon and back, Paul! Thank you, from just one of millions you inspired to pick up the guitar!
MARC !!! are you joking when you write about Mc CARTNEY' s " iconic, pitch-perfect voice " . His voice is so bad , weak , almost aphone , trebling , without timber and deepness . ...and it 's his natural tribald voice before aging deterioration .
This interview between Sean Lennon, and Sir Paul McCartney, to mark John Lennon's 80th birthday was amazing. Thank you, Sean Lennon, and Sir Paul McCartney.
26:56 as a professional musician of almost 20 years, when he just picks up his guitar and instantly remembers a song from almost 60 years ago is the mark of a true master
Paul is so generous and gracious in granting Sean this interview about his father John that he can treasure for the rest of his life. Thank you for sharing with the rest of us.
That Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison all came from the same area and got together to form a band, is one of the greatest, miraculous wonders of all times. Wow.
Agreed. Sir Paul has a tendency to slip into anecdote mode which is completely understandable when you always have to answer the same questions. But this is genuine.
I think he has been especially gifted in that way. He has always managed to separate the celebrity and all that goes with that from his personal identity. He has remained close to his family members and has remained vulnerable. I really respect his way of managing his very special renown and celebrity. Amazing person.... especially knowing that he is very likely the most spectacular musician of our era... and likely over a couple centuries as well.
He’s the most down to earth Superstar alive today. He is the hero to people like Dylan, Springsteen, James Taylor and Liam Gallagher and doesn’t act like he thinks he’s better than anyone else.
This is probably the best interview of Paul I have ever heard. Sean did an amazing job. His questions were so perceptive, which Paul obviously responded to. They were clearly very comfortable with each other and enjoyed the process. I'd love to hear them do this on a regular basis. Sean knows their work as well as anybody and has a true fan's curiosity.
The fact that Paul McCartney would sit with John’s younger son and allow him to pick his brains, speaks to the level of character and friendship that Paul embodies. How fortunate for Sean. I would have asked Paul how was it possible for two kids to write so many of those early songs that were smash hits like She Loves You, I want to Hold Your Hand, Till There Was You , Follow the Sun, etc., That’s what I find amazing. I mean, literally, they came out with hit after hit we’ll before Eleanor Rigby and Strawberry Fields. Anyone has to admit they were geniuses from day one.
So great to hear Paul answering questions that aren’t the same that he’s been addressing since the 70’s. This was a phenomenal tribute to your father, Sean.
I was 16 in 1964 and I honestly thought the Beatles were something supernatural. Not of this world. I'm glad that Paul has lived as long as he has and brought me back to reality. That's so kind of him to let me know they were indeed human after all.
Wow, what a special interview. Sean comes across so respectful and yet honest about his own memories, and can you imagine how Paul must have felt when Sean said that his dad seemed really happy to see Paul after the rocky times?
11:05 "How lucky was I to meet this strange teddy boy off the bus..." No, Sir Paul, the question is: "How lucky were WE that that happened".. it was a music miracle -- the odds of two musicians of that caliber meeting randomly must be astronomical, and thank god it happened
I think part of it has to do with his accent, he has that thing where his voice goes slightly up at the end. Some people don't like that but I really do. It keeps you focused on what the person is saying.
Paul picking up the guitar and remembering a throwaway song he wrote, "Just Fun", from 60 years ago shows what an amazing library of music this man has stored in his brain. Great interview.
@@iVenge i LOVE b7! Opinions may vary. It depends what song you're playing, of course. It gave me an alternate to just major minor chords Cowboy chords open guitar chord style-wise. Till I learned bar chords as a kid and all
Paul is such a kind and generous person when he speaks about other people. He never feels the need to push his story out front. He is always just one of the guys and they all did it all, all together. Such a class act.
Brilliant interview. Sean Lennon needs his own show. He's humble, smart, knowledgeable and has done his research. Most importantly, he listens and does not interrupt. He asks very thoughtful questions. Love ya, Sean. Well done. 🅰️➕ Love ya, too Paul. Always have.💟
I was born in Liverpool. My mum and her sister were in Strawberry Fields, which was a Salvation Army Orphanage. We lived on Peet St. with my dad's parents and Royston St where my mum's mother lived before moving to 'Wavertree. My mum's maiden name was Lennon. I have documents that show i am related, distantly, of course. Something like my grandfather was the brother of his great uncle. Great interview.
Liverpool and Merseyside is truly a small world. There's no place like it on the planet. Stories my Mum told me are of ladies at Lever Brothers in Port Sunlight taking the ferry and going to the Cavern at lunch to watch the Beatles.
Sean is so blessed to still at least have Paul around to hear these stories about his Dad from his old friend who just happened to be the co-leader in the biggest band in musical history. Even if John and Paul had never been famous anything, it’s still wonderful to hear stories about your Dad from his friends. To tragically lose your Dad at such an early age is just devastating, but this is so nice, because as time goes by their generation is almost all gone. What a great interview, I really enjoyed it.
What a gift to our human race Sir Paul Is! I dont know how many realize the generosity and loving, supportive nature continually shines from Sir Paul’s soul/being. He’s a natural leader, gifted, giving, loving always making amyone around him feel the most important being in the center of the universe. Terrific “uncle” Paul for Sean to have some precious time with. TYVM for this insightful discussion. Many cultures (sadly not Brtiish) family members have little emphasis on whether or not blood relationships exist. If these men had only been from cultures which embraced such brotherhood and family as these men have. Thank you Paul McCartney (& John & family) for a lifetime; for generations of artistic gifts in perpetuity..
Hi Rob, have you watched the short video of Paul listening to Beautiful Boy many years ago. It's one of the most touching/emotional things I've seen & Paul was incredibly close to tears! What a life & what a legacy to leave the world!
@@topologyrob - Yes it's definitely worth a look! I think so many people misunderstand or place a skewed interpretation on John & Paul's relationship. Like everyone's it had intensely difficult times, but you can't buy what those guys had or equally what they worked together to achieve. It's almost as if life at times has a design & purpose in bringing people together & they are an amazing example!
@@robk3596 I had a look - thanks, it was lovely to see. I agree. It makes me glad that they did get along well before Lennon died. And yes, a miracle that they found each other and created magic.
@@topologyrob - For sure my friend & a lesson in life there I reckon such that don't let things sour & fester, as in the blink of eye it can be too late to make amends!
This is my second listen today. I love it. Sean knows how to do this. I hope he continues doing more interviews. He's a natural. And can listen to Paul talk about old times all day
I know fans have their favorites, but Paul-young or old-has just always had this endearing exuberant “I love life” attitude. Even as a workaholic 20-something (more or less forced into a stressful leadership role in a studio with friends who don’t want to be there anymore) you can see his intentions were always good. He truly loved making music, he loved the band, he loved those boys, but like all young people they made some poor choices and mistakes and didn’t always foster healthy communication. I’m happy John & Paul reunited before the end, you can sense Paul’s immense relief about it. They are truly a cosmic pair for the ages.
Nope. He didn’t have Jesus as Lord and saviour. In fact he stated, as we all know, that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus. Very sad when you consider his immense talent was a gift of the creator.
Sean almost re-met his dad with this interview. Paul and John were so close that even some of their DNAs must be still stuck to each other. The affinity between John's offspring and the one man who was closest to his father is so endearingly beautiful. Happy 80th birthday John, I know for sure you'll be happy wherever u are for you already paid a big price on earth for whatever little genuine love that came your way in your short lifetime.
@wildcatter63 I agree to the brain physiology part you've mentioned. But I doubt any other kid would have such a huge stock of film material , music and interviews like there is of John to reminisce and maybe get to know what his dad was all about.
@wildcatter63 If u really ask me. I don't think anyone actually knew John or could predict accurately how he would react to different situations. Not Paul, Not Yoko, not Mimi. In fact, I doubt even John knew himself well enough. He was till the very end , an enigma.
Hearing him ask questions about his grandmother was awesome. Then I thought, who else in the world would even have met her? No matter how big a star you are, you still have the same questions about your ancestors.
Good point - but that’s how you learned back then. You might get lucky and find someone who had a chord book or a fake book. Or you’d see someone who played something cool and get them to show you. Sheet music was expensive - and there weren’t so many people around giving lessons. You learned a song by playing the record over and over again and piecing it together.
Sean is such a natural interviewer and obviously yet another brilliant child of the Beatles Fab Four, none of whom have really been underachievers and have found their own unique ways. Great job!
I'm glad Sean turned out alright. He's a musician doing his own thing, mostly out of his father's shadow. Sean seems pretty smart too, and he's up on Beatles trivia. He seems to be a genuine Beatle fan.
@@enkibumbu So disrespectful. You should listen to some of Sean's stuff before uttering such hurried sentences: He is really talented, I mean, for real. Great musicianship. So, being or not John Lennon's son, he would have had a pretty dignified musical carreer for sure
@@Uetti Yup, Uetti. The soundtrack work he's done, His phenom collab with Les Claypool, GOASTT, Cibo Matto, his work with M (Matthieu Chedid) in French, yeh. Amazing, Lovely Boy.
@@guynese977 Love how fans fight competitively when the artistic sons and fathers have healed and are friends. Ridiculous. I'm sure Paul and Sean would have a laugh over that. As well as Jude.
