I got to know Paul McCartney in my last two years at the Liverpool Institute. I had seen him around, but I didn't know him very well. Someone dug me in the ribs and said, 'We're in for a couple of good years here,' because Paul already had a reputation for being a guy who could create quite a bit of mayhem. Butter wouldn't melt in his mouth. He was able to turn it on and off. He could look as sweet as an angel just after he'd done the most incredibly disruptive things, and usually the blame went to someone else.
