Paul McCartney's urge to say he was sharing a bed with John Lennon
Paul about John and Brain's affair: "I mean, all I can ever say about that is I slept with John A LOT, just 'cause, you know, you had to sleep, you know, you didn't have more, you know, more than one bed! And to my knowledge John was never gay".' 2.

4. Paul about growing up with John: "John and I grew up like twins although he was a year and a half older than me. We grew up literally in the same bed because when we were on holiday, hitchhiking or whatever, we would share a bed. Or when we were writing songs when we were kids, he'd be in my bedroom or I'd be in his".
5. Paul about people commenting John: "People start these rumours: 'He was this, he was that.' I say, 'Look, I've slept with him.' We've done hitch-hiking holidays and we've had to top and tail it because there was only one bed. I say, 'I knew him'."
6. Paul about their hitchhiking: "John and I used to hitch-hike places together, it was something that we did together quite a lot; cementing our friendship, getting to know our feelings, our dreams, our ambitions together. It was a very wonderful period. I look back on it with great fondness. I particularly remember John and I would be squeezed in our little single bed, and Mike Robbins, who was a real nice guy, would come in late at night to say good night to us, switching off the lights as we were all going to bed".
7. Paul about their trip to Paris in 1961: "We were a bit tired so we checked into a little hotel for the night, intending to go off hitchhiking the next morning. Of course, it was too nice a bed after having hitched so we said, ‘We’ll stay a little longer,’ then we thought, ‘God, Spain is a long way, and we’d have to work to get down there.’ We ended up staying the week in Paris – John was funding it all with his hundred quid".
