Paul Mccartney in an interview with Charlie Rose talking about meeting John Lennon for the first time, October, 1991
PAUL: Who is this person? But then I met him a little later that day and uh, I was surprised at how drunk and horrible he was. Cause I was younger then, he was just sixteen-
CHARLIE: He was a bad influence on you, was he?
PAUL: -Well he was getting a six pack down him y’know, he was sat there and he was getting going. I was later to learn those tricks but I was a little bit innocent at the time. Yeah, I remember this guy sort of smelly breath over my shoulder, sort of thinking, “Oh dear me, hoodlum, y’know hello.”
There’s soooo many things I love about this particular telling of the story of John and Paul first meeting:
- His description seeming like such a caricature of a Liverpudlian teenage boy but knowing John was JUST LIKE THAT
- ‘I was a little bit innocent at the time.’ as if John corrupted him with his ‘hoodlum’ shenanigans
- It’s so clear that John was this image of older boy coolness to Paul when they were younger; the way he talks about his initial aversion to John’s antics while smiling, knowing that John’s influence would shape the rest of his life.
The comparison of younger Paul to a teenage girl with a crush on an older boy is so true- I mean, just look at him giggling about drunk John peering over his shoulder, defiling his ‘innocence’
okay, why is this perfect🥺
