That is one of the best analysis on him I've read. Very nicely put.

@@Crisstti Thank you.

You yourself are very clearly a deep thinker as well.

What a lovely 'tribute' to Elvis(😐).

As was Linda

You will.

Many women who are gay find love .

I'm forming a band called 'flapping' and written a song called 'my dove'. Wanna join it and be my Linda?

@@andydixon2980 can i be your Linda/Juliet?

Me too...I'm 60...hope it happens soon.

Yeah. And ironically, John released an album that year, so it turns out he wasn't done with all that after all.

I know. That’s what I thought

@@alohakat1148 as I can see he was lying to Paul? What for? To not be robbed by him?!

@@tanjaradun3998 no. He had indeed retired from writing songs. He returned to music because he heard Coming Up from McCartney II and said that "Paul won't get all the praise to himself". Most of the songs on Double Fantasy and the follow-up Milk & Honey were written after a trip on boat that inspired Lennon to write songs as "if he was looking to getting signed". He even wrote songs for a posible Beatles album. Those songs were released on Anthology 1 and 2. There other songs weren't worked by the others tho.

John was writing songs. he had a tape in his pocket on the day

But even back then people talked about him like an elder statesman of Rock n Roll

"Never trust anyone over the age of 30". I still remember that one from back in the day..

He mellowed out considerably and really went 'pop' right after the break-up of Wings in 1981, starting with that year's 'Ebony and Ivory', to be followed by his solo releases (Tug Of War, Pipes Of Peace, etc.), his MTV-era duets with Michael Jackson, the schmaltzy 'No More Lonely Nights' etc. He was anything but 'rock' in the 80's. Safe pop is more like it. I think what you meant was Paul rocked the 1970s so hard..

That's because he's famous n rich . If he worked in McDonald's you would never even look at him .

grandson of Portuguese immigrants no no no he is just GORGEOUS I don’t care abbey his fame or anything...he’s the most perfect man I know of

@@cuttinupthecarpet504 It's not about fame or wealth. He is a music genius and a very beautiful man.

Not at all

@@polandsopotgirl he is a music genius which makes him famous n wealthy . If he worked at McDonald's you wouldnt even glance at him but because hes rich n famous you get all hot n bothered and will do anything to touch him .

I never understood her”accent “.

@@deanajandeny65 I read a biography of Paul McCartney, back in the 80s. Linda purposefully adopted an English accent because Paul told her to; she did not have an accent prior to marrying Paul in 69. Paul apparently thought, at the time, American accents were crass/low class (according to the book, at least). Even John and Maypang made fun of her accent (behind her back, of course), when Paul and Linda visited them in L.A. back in 74.

@Kate Thing is, Olivia Harrison (George Harrison's wife), has lived in the U.K. for almost 45 years. But just listen to an interview with Olivia; there's no sign of a U.K. accent at all. Olivia still sounds American. How could Linda have a British accent just after two or three years in the U.K.? And if you listen, she's imitating Paul really. I think the accent is fake. Plus, like I said, Maypang said in her book, she and John knew it was fake (and John, if anyone, would probably have a good idea if it was fake or not).

Even in her very early interviews with Paul, Linda never had an American twang

@@thehighllama8101 Stanley Kubrick lived in England for the last 40 years of his life and never lost his Bronx accent. But Terry Gilliam has lived there since the mid-1960s and he has a slight but noticeable English accent. So it can happen.

I do. And somehow feel reassured for being asked if I do at every step of the way.

Sgt's Lonely Heart yes, yknow

May, 1980 in Cannes.

+matooli That is strange; and the year was 1980? That was the year John died.

Maybe Rex was keeping an eye on Lennon, and passed info to McCartney during 1980 summer.

Yes Rosemary's Baby (1968) was filmed at the Dakota. Great film. And Dear Prudence i think was about Mia Farrow's sister who was in India with the Beatles. More coincidences.. they don't stop!

Dakota also the place where Rosemarys Baby was filmed. Actress Mia Farrow was with the Beatles on their famous trip to India back in the 60s after they quit touring. People there are NO coincidences. Question everything!!! This is mainstream news, what is their track record so far of bringing you the truth about anything??? JFK? 9/11? Think about it.

Mia Farrow was there. Many pics of her on the internet, there at the same time the Beatles were visiting with the Maharishi.

My granddaughter was fussy... I put on Wings/Beatles she stopped..she recognized every song I put on. Made my day.

.. You asking us to feel sorry for him?

Yeah l thought that he and Linda looked ugly with their mullet hairstyles in the 1970's.

​@@VideoFanatic02 I for one loved their mullets. Paul's Wings mullet was epic.

VideoFanatic02 Linda didn’t look too bad

@@_PuppetMaster86 I liked her better without the mullet.

@@karenelizabeth1590 l guess l'm just not crazy about the mullet hairstyles

@cubomania3 he was

@@lisaaxen534 he is

Rex could be quite b*tchy at times..

Oh, but nowhere near as much as Paul..

Before he was even born!

Shapiro 2024.

U can fell in love with her voice, she speaks so...feminine

Yeah, I agree with you.

Yeah, I believe he really loved John and he's been never the same again after that.

I think now it has affected him more since George and his wife Linda is no longer on this planet.

When was this ?? Summer of 1980?

Given that Paul says he's 37, and they've been married for 11 years, it's between March and June 1980. Maybe his reference in the interview to John no longer making music helped spur John on to his sudden re-emergence ?

lmfaaaaaoooo

I was the one dying when I heard that

Paul’s not that way cause he’s happy with Linda and the children

@@marybethhanifin3683 Well, with his children because Linda sadly passed away. May she Rest In Peace.

LMAO!!!!!

For 11 months and 8 days in 1980 John was alive.

True

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, but I always thought she was a beautiful, genuinely nice lady.

No, he said Paulmania.

Yes..I'm a Paulmaniac💕

well Paul wrote a song called "Woman" and gave it to his almost brother-in-law Peter.

Gee, and I wonder why..

John kind and gentle?! He left his son! Hello!!! Wake up!

C'mon. John was all kind of things, funny, witty, incredibly talented... but kind and gentle? Occasionally, I suppose. And he could be very unkind, too

Wikipedia: "In the middle of 1980, Lennon made a sailing trip through treacherous waters from Newport, Rhode Island, to Bermuda. During the journey, his yacht encountered a prolonged severe storm, and most of the crew succumbed to profound fatigue and seasickness. Lennon, free of seasickness, was eventually forced to take the yacht's wheel alone for many hours. He found this terrifying but invigorating. It had the effect of both renewing his confidence and making him contemplate the fragility of life. As a result, he began to write new songs and reworked earlier demos. He commented later, 'I was so centered after the experience at sea that I was tuned in to the cosmos - and all these songs came!'" Since Paul says he's 37 here, this interview must be taking place before June 18th.

John indicated later that the song Coming Up inspired him to come out of retirement. The competitiveness feeling he had with Paul resurfaced.

Yes, I, too, heard that. John heard Coming up on the radio, at first not realizing that this was Paul, as he's singing with an unusual vocal style. After John realized it was Paul, he said, that he didn't mind not making music while Paul was writing bad songs, but now as he liked this one, he felt being called to also start something again....

​@@pete299 But John never said "bad songs." Yes, sometimes he'd slag off Paul's work, but he didn't think Paul was only writing bad songs throughout the 70s. He liked the Band on the Run album, and even though he was angry about a lot of songs on Ram, which he felt were directed at him, he still liked some of the songs. Other moments like that. I think John felt that since Paul was able to branch out into the newer 80's style of music in Coming Up, still creating popular young music, he too could be spurred into action -- the idea that the older rockers aren't dead yet. Not how it had only been "bad songs" up until that point.

@@hollytree3379 Thanks for your answer, HollyTree. Sounds right, I guess you know more about Johns particular positions to Paul's songs than I do. Very interesting, because it makes a lot of sense. I wrote it too simple, learned something now. Thanx, man! Rock on! (by the way: Paul comes to Europe in June. I'm lookin' forward to seeing' him!!!!!!!!!!) Best regards! Peter

Here accent is pretty mixed and if you’re living with someone who is British and talking constantly and living in the UK and then your children are brought up there and they have British accents then it does start to rub off on you So idk what you’re saying everyone’s different and if you’re constantly exposed to an accent then your’s might start to change and hers is only faint

and John was in NY. when he wanted to be in England

Do you have examples of hard-spoken women?

Wish I was married at all

it's best to watch what you say. that's my best advice. and don't cheat

Maybe she developed a Mid-Atlantic accent over the years, I mean her husband and her kids all have the British accent and she lived in the UK.

I JUSt wrote about that above ...her phony Liverpool accent of hers annoys the Hell out of me ...Glad others notice the phony Scouse Talk and facial expressions UGH Paul should have stopped it makes her SO PHONY

Must be a deborah thing..LOL I just noticed the name haha

Yes she was American born but cos she lived in England for so long she lost some of her accent. That can happen. Talking scouse though? Na leave that to Paul luv! Lol

Its crazy. My wife is Belgian, married 2 decades, lived over there. And I still sound American.

Bev Parkin I wish Paul still had this VOICE!

@@DavidSumeray_BassGod It's a pity all those years of screaming in his songs, and has wrecked his once beautiful sounding voice. I know he's almost 80, but even in his early 70's his voice was sounding very raspy....think he still won't lower the keys to his songs in concert. oh well

This was in May 1980. Linda won a Golden Palm for her short animated film “Seaside Woman“ at Film Festival in Nice.

You can't really trust a sarcastic person🤔.

Very crass remark by the interviewer

Yep. Billy

@@deanajandeny65 ""billy"" was never real

*Charlie Kenwood* they made it up before John died. But Johnny was still in an argument with George 😞

Oh yes, she knew what she was doing

I don't think it even occured to Linda, an old fling

@@Bella-nt7ec where have you been?

She was American.

Would be interesting to see her early interviews when she first met Paul or before.. The accent sounds very affected.

I don't think people realize these are not real people they are people playing a character regular people don't understand that ....they don't know at all how Show Business works. All these people look different year-to-year not just age.... totally different facial features if you look closely. All the world's indeed a stage and we are merely players performers and portrayers there's to each another's audience beyond the Gilded stage....

@@audrasitarek9113 I don't get whats so unbelievable about an American marrying an Englishman, living in the UK, meeting many English people and thus picking up a bit of an accent?

alias she picked it up way too soon!

She developed a British accent over the years. It happens when people live in a country where they are happy and want to be accepted by their new fellow countrymen, according to my linguistics professor.

Yeah, she put it on for a while and dropped it soon after. Kinda silly but we still lov'er :)

It's a hybrid, and she didn't fake it, nor did she later drop it

Her accent sounds like a put on because it doesn't really sound British. Read somewhere awhile ago that Paul preferred she speak w a British accent as opposed to American and that she accomodated him. Whatever.

@@likespurple2261 Madonna did it too. Gwyneth Paltrow may have too

raleighman3000 exactly. Linda was a wonderful woman but the accent is definitely exaggerated.

Yes you do after about 10 years.

it was an actor playing a role.......much like faul playing the role of paul. Just an illusion.

You actually can if you are around someone with the accent for years.

Yes you do pick up accents as an Adult!I worked with a lady from South Africa....I picked up one wor.d" with. an accent ...the word was Yes!

True

I absolutely can't stand Linda's facial expressions. Clenched teeth and tight jawed, with furtive eyes and micro facial manners. Combination of drugs, autism and a troubled marriage. As for ambition she was simply duplicitous.

see got nervous being interviewed, as far as I know she didn't like to be.

Linda was a photographer,Paul wanted a traditional marriage with a stay at home wife.

Wow you’re not a particularly nice person are you

why mossad? and it wasnt on that day.

Mike, put the bong down and come upstairs already..

It's Paul you fucking dumb shit

@@lidiamori739 They're fucking mental.

""Faul"" nunca existió

OldSchoolVibes 1978 and has become a billionaire! I guess Billy? Is a superior musician. Kicked ass wrote epic Beatles tunes. Crazy post Beatles career. And still playing his heart out to this day . Not bad eh? Get over it dude. John is gone and Paul is soaring!!!!!!!!

@@jayvonck9757 Billy is a great musician in his own right, what he isn't though is Paul. The world deserves to know the truth!

Get a life dude you are ridiculous
