So often, John plays with interviewers making sarcastic or goofy remarks, and Paul grounds the interview. It’s the opposite here! Paul is loosy goosy (one comment says he was stoned). John, who sometimes can't get a wird in, sounds serious and grounded. Hadn't heard this interview. Thanks for sharing it.
what insightful, intelligent answers. we're still restricted in what we can say only now our celebrities don't know what to say. they aren't as humbled as john & paul were
Wow! I thought i had listened to all their interviews from this time period. This is one of the best I've heard and i didn't know it was in existence until now. Thanks!
So many interviewers talked about how much money they were making, as if they should feel guilty about it. We don't hear that much anymore if someone is interviewing a modern Pop or Rock star. Modern wars are also not being talked about enough about how horrible they are. Vietnam is over, but the others get pushed and bigger. The Beatles reflected their times.
It’s like every American reporter went to the same broadcasting school to all speak in the exact same way. The Beatles were all about individuality and creativity. The older generation seemed to be about conformity and uniformity. Individual expression was frowned upon. This was a main ingredient in what was being called ‘The Generation Gap’…you can hear it in the tone of the reporter, he can’t seem to understand why they achieved their fame and notoriety. He keeps asking that question repeatedly. The older generation couldn’t quite understand the infectious appeal of the group with the younger crowd.
Radio/TV announcers and interviewers were schooled in their pronunciations/vernacular and voice inflections. They sounded similar. It's a reflection of their time. It's gone now.
