#beatles interview

[maxstoolbox]

Sometimes, I think about this interview a little too much...

(from McCartney's German interview 1984)

Interviewer: "But your relationship with John, I mean, in every way, as a band I mean, you were very, very close. I mean, that must have been very painful in that respect. Not only the Beatles breaking up. But, I mean, that particular relationship breaking up."

McCartney: "Mm. It was, yeah. Um, in our songwriting, I had signs that the group was gonna break up, because… I mean, I think really what it was, really all that happened was that John fell in love. With Yoko. And so, with such a powerful alliance like that,it was difficult for him to still be seeing me. It was as if I was another girlfriend, almost. Our relationship, strong relationship. And if he was to start a new relationship,he had to put this other one away. And I understood that. I mean, I couldn’t stand in the way of someone who’d fallen in love.You can’t say, you know, “Who’s this?” You can’t really do that.If I was a girl, maybe I could go out [unintelligible] in this case, you know, it's just that, uh, you know, I mean, I didn’t say anything, I could see that was the way it was going to go, and that Yoko would be very sort of powerful for him, you know? We all had to get out the way. I don’t blame her. You know, you can’t blame her for being the object of his love."

Love this diva 💔

Q: "What about the gifts? I notice more and more you've been getting more and more gifts from fans. What was the most unusual gift you've ever received? I know there's so many-- Is there one that sticks out in your mind?"

JOHN: (laughs) "I once received a bra..."

Q: (laughs) "You did?"

JOHN: "...with 'I Love John' embroidered on it. I thought it was pretty original. I didn't keep it, mind you-- It didn't fit."

John and Paul are interviewed while in New York in ‘68.  The interviewer brings up the issue of racial integration in Britain, regarding the Enoch Powell speech earlier that year. 

The beatles talk about how there are small minded ignorant people everywhere, and the politicians keep them small minded and ignorant so they will carry on voting for small minded politicians.  Then Paul tries to claim racism isn’t as bad in England as it is in the US and John explains that it really probably definitely is though:

- - -

Paul: I don’t know, you know.  I don’t think it’s as bad. Just from what I’ve seen. It might be, y’know. Because uh-  It’s hidden more in England.  Definitely.

John: But that might be worse, mightn’t it?

Paul: That might be worse, yeah.
