Citando:
"The most striking moment of the afternoon comes, though, when they rehearse “A Hard Day’s Night.” They breeze through a version of the song, and then McCartney has a question, a surprising one given that he has played this song live in public at least 205 times.20 It is about what happens at the end of the first verse. McCartney, who is playing his famous Höfner bass, wonders whether he is supposed to stay on the G or move up to the D. The band debate it back and forth without coming to a firm conclusion. When McCartney says, “What did I do?” Brian Ray, one of the band’s guitarists, suggests that they listen."

2018-09: PM e Helter Skelter e... tits (mamas, basicamente)

http://ultimateclassicrock.com/charles-manson-paul-mccartney-helter-skelter/

Citando:
"McCartey also discussed the rumors of strong language being buried in Beatles tracks, saying: “I remember when we were doing the backing vocals in ‘Hey Jude’, someone says ‘Fuck off’ or something, and you can hear it in the final mix. We didn’t mean to leave it in, but we didn’t ever erase it. And we used to do things like we’d be singing ‘dit dit dit dit dit’ as a backing vocal and we’d change it to ‘tit tit tit tit tit’ for our own amusement. It’s schoolboy stuff. … But it gives you a laugh at that moment, and that’s valuable. You don’t want to sit around being too serious with music.”"

2018-09: NBC News review of PM new album

https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/paul-mccartney-s-new-album-egyptian-station-highlights-ex-beatle-ncna909466

Citando:
"Obviously, medleys existed before McCartney began exploring them in depth in the late ‘60s, but they mostly fell into two categories: extremely similar songs being performed as one — like Little Richard’s “Kansas City / Hey Hey Hey Hey” (later covered by the Beatles) — or in suites inspired by musical theater or operatic traditions (like in “West Side Story”). McCartney’s innovation, alongside co-conspirators John Lennon and producer George Martin, was to weave together pop songs that were compositionally and narratively separate but thematically linked. As seen on the opening and closing salvos of “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,” these mutant song structures built blooming fictional worlds and corralled the increasingly divergent writing styles of Lennon and McCartney."

2018-07: Paul McCartney e o copyright na UE

https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/984362/eu-news-copyright-paul-mccartney-beatles

Citando:
"The revamp is based on a proposal by the European Commission to take into account the growing role of online platforms. A key committee at the European Parliament subsequently added more muscle to the proposal to give more power to Europe's creative industries.

However, lawmakers on Thursday voted against opening talks with EU countries based on the committee's recommendation. Parliament will now have to revise the proposal for a vote in September before starting talks with EU countries that have already adopted their own position.

McCartney had written an letter to MEPs urging them to take action.

He said: “Music and culture matter. They are our heart and soul.

“The proposed copyright directive will help assure a sustainable future for the music ecosystem and its creators, fans and digital music services alike.”"

2018-03-14: Paul McCartney em segunda classe?

Parece que sim!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5509913/Sir-Paul-McCartney-stuns-commuters-choosing-SECOND-CLASS-train.html

Citando:
"Sir Paul McCartney may have an estimated fortune of £780 million but the Beatles legend is not averse to saving the odd penny here and there.

The 75-year-old was spotted rushing onto a train yesterday just before it pulled out of Charing Cross railway station.

Rather than opting for first class, down-to-earth Sir Paul settled down in second class, sitting alongside ordinary commuters and their bicycles. 

Dressed smartly in a suit and crisp white shirt, Britain's most famous singer songwriter kept a low profile as he sat quietly on his own in the carriage. "

2017-11-28: Paul McCartney fã de Elbow? (Vídeo)

PM enviou um e-mail aos Elbow depois de ouvir uma das suas músicas na rádio:
http://www.radiox.co.uk/artists/elbow/guy-garvey-paul-mccartney-john-lewis-cover-fan/

Citando:
"The Elbow frontman has talked about whether The Beatles legend has heard their Beatles cover, and revealed why he made Macca's daughter Stella cry [Elbow recently covered The Beatles' Golden Slumbers for this year's John Lewis Christmas advert.]

But asked if Paul McCartney has heard their rendition yet, Guy Garvey told Radio X's Chris Moyles we wasn't sure, but revealed Macca is a bit of a fan.

Watch our video above to find out more.

The frontman explained: "We had an email from Paul McCartney last year about an Elbow song though, which is pretty much the best thing that's ever happened.

"He said he heard us performing Magnificent (She Says) on the radio when he was dropping one of his kids off, and he said he pulled over and waited till the end of song till he found out who it was."

He added with disbelief: "And then he thought to email us!" (...)"

Knickers? Depois renomeado para Martha:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5071837/In-Paul-McCartney-s-arms-puppy-loved-much.html

Citando:
"It was written by Sir Paul McCartney as a paean to his English sheepdog.

But the Beatles’ 1968 song Martha My Dear might have ended up being called Knickers My Dear.

Two years earlier, the star had decided to fulfil his dream of owning a dog and contacted breeder Ann Davis.

Sir Paul, who was then dating Jane Asher, turned up in his Aston Martin DB6 at her home, where he posed with her sheepdog Cuddles before driving back to London with his new puppy, priced at ten guineas.

Paul McCartney pictured with his puppy and Ann Arch's sheepdog 'Cuddles' in the mid 1960's at her home in High Wycombe

A few weeks later, the breeder received a telephone call asking if she could look after the pup while the Fab Four were travelling abroad.

The great-grandmother said yesterday: ‘He was very attached to the puppy and he didn’t want to leave it with his housekeeper.’

But when the dog arrived at her home in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, she was in for a shock when she was told what the star had called it."

Citando:
"There’s a simple but significant way to help protect the planet and all its inhabitants,” Paul McCartney – who has been vegetarian since 1975 – says in the short.

“And it starts with just one day a week. One day without eating animal products can have a huge impact in helping maintain that delicate balance that sustains us all.”

The film uses Paul McCartney’s own music – tracks from his 1997 classical music album ‘Standing Stone’, as well as an unreleased song called ‘Botswana’."

2017-11-02: PM revela que foto da NG inspirou Lady Madonna

A foto que inspirou LM. E um novo documentário no YouTube, em breve:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5041245/Paul-McCartney-reveals-inspiration-Lady-Madonna.html

Citando:
"National Geographic's January 1965 issue published a photograph entitled Mountain Madonna, of a woman whose way of life was threatened, with one child at her breast and another laughing up at her. "
(...)
"Speaking on documentary film One Day A Week, the 75-year-old confessed he was inspired to write the song after seeing an image of a woman in National Geographic magazine in the 1960s.

He explained that the maternal bond in the photo, which saw a vulnerable woman breastfeeding with another child close by, had really 'affected' him - leading him to write the number one single."

Citando (BBC e a Rolling Stone):
"Petty told Rolling Stone: "I seriously doubt that there is any negative intent there. And a lot of rock 'n' roll songs sound alike. Ask Chuck Berry.""
