Peace And Love

Skåne, Sweden

“When you start with the Beatles, your résumé looks pretty good,” Chris O’Dell says. A new documentary charts the extent of that CV, as a music manager with bands including Fleetwood Mac, Genesis and Santana, but it all began with a chance encounter in Los Angeles in 1968.

Derek Taylor was heading publicity at the Beatles’ company, Apple Corps, and O’Dell was a low-level assistant in radio promotion. When Taylor suggested she come work at the Apple office in London, she dropped everything and moved halfway across the world. “Paul [McCartney] was there every day organising everything,” she says, on the phone from her home in Arizona. “One day he came into my office and said, ‘Chris, should we use paper towels or cloth towels in the bathroom?’ That’s how detailed he was.”

END OF PART ONE - INTERMISSION | Help! (1965) dir. Richard Lester

I’m sorry I usually rag on Beatles Reddit but this tale of Paul in the wild is sending me

Once in a life I’m a lucky man If I can find the kind of love That’s gonna last for me

Twice in a lifetime Is one of those unspoken dreams We usually reserve for fantasy

Who knows how we find love Stop before you give your answer Who knows when a mystery begins

I know, I know I know because it’s happening to me I know, I know

Twice in a Lifetime (1983).
