"bring in the broads" and the silence after that - EPIC EPIC EPIC

Paul is Dead:

New evidence based on computer enhanced forensic

[Flipper79able]

I'm kind of getting this nasty feminist vibe from the interviewer.

[jankenpo808]

Interviewer missed the point that John and Paul loved each other and that Paul knew and understood John and even his "bitchiness". Would have been cool if she explored the wonderful parts of the relationship and what sounds like a coming to terms and peace and maybe forgiveness on Paul's part. Thumbs up to Paul for his openness and conduct befitting the gentleman that he is!

[MrPresidentFox]

Thanks a lot Youtube, I thought McCartney was dead.

[BladerPR]

Amazing how much of a douche bag she was, and how Calm and polite Paul was about it. Classic gentlemen.

[CRYSSxCANxFLY]

She wants him and she knows it.

[pilgrimMj]

I think that Barbara Frum brought some interesting things out of Paul by being so terrible.

God he is so cute. I'm sorry my brain died forever.

[TreverUndeadXpdX]

Why do interviewers from TV shows always bring up the shitty stuff that happened? "Did you hear what people say about you?" no I don't really ca...*interviewer pulls out paper and starts labelling off insults from the internet*. Most of this interview had nothing to do with The Beatles.

[ricopaulson1]

"when someone like john lennon says you play muzak it hurts". nice glimpse of paul showing his true feelings for john, the whole younger kid looking up to the older talented band mate that was john. only person in the world who could hurt paul. in his mind, his only equal.

[AssociationAdmirer]

Creating great music is no indication that you'll be any good at being interviewed, so it's a blessing that McCartney excels at both. He always seems comfortable no matter what the subject, and has thoughtful and interesting answers to every question.

Thanks for posting this.

[diamanteelcantante]

Okkk

[bgierat]

this interviewer is embarrassing.....geezus!

[Jennyjkc]

UNF Paul is sooo hot !

I bet if people actually took the time to read biographies of The Beatles, they would know how much of douche John was.

[ricopaulson1]

@Jennyjkc i read about the beatles urvryday. i agree with you, john could be a fucking asshole to his wife,friends,child. but he also was a very caring man. its a common trait to for ppl who are deeply emotional, to guard themselves with this "asshole" bravado. its easy to forget john lennon was a human....humans are flawed.

[41381jls]

@Jennyjkc John, was not a "douch." He was honest, and not always in a good way. Everything Paul said about John was correct if you were to read biographies about The Beatles, excluding the one Albert Goldman wrote about John. That biography was largely made up garbabe that no one gave any credibility too. That's what made John and Paul's relationship so great. In many ways they were the odd couple. John was loud and abrasive and Paul was more of the reserved crowd pleaser.

[icytea5]

john is at even with legends like mozart. Paul? plz..

[TheBreyerObserver]

wow you suck

[pretorious700]

The interviewer is an idiot. Poor Paul, to have to answer the same stupid question a million times.

[JustaRegularGuy2]

John and Paul are the two best song writers in history.

[BobbyGeneva357112]

@JustaRegularGuy2

No, they really aren't. Maybe they're the greatest 'team', but individually, Brian Wilson is probably the greatest. Him or Dylan.

[mpl1700]

who is the interviewer, what program is it ??



[CBCtv]

@mpl1700 The interviewer is Barbara Frum for The Journal- Oct 1984

[mpl1700]

@CBCtv THANKS A LOT !!!

[BeatlesluvWingsluv]

I just keep on watching this over and over again *w* ♥

[mlynn1231]

I love Paul McCartney so much. He's the most awesome person ever to live.

[mlynn1231]

Does this bitch realize who she's talking to? Paul gets a FAIL for agreeing to be interviewed by this imbecile.

[EchoPlexHead]

I am so surprised he even answered those questions.

She repeated every possible hurtful words she could

come up with. Rich, Isolated, tired, bring in the wicked Women?

How is that better than, "Broads"?

Insipid? Puerile? Had to look that one up :P

That said, I did hear some good explanations from Paul

I had never heard before. The whole collaboration question

involving Roger and Hammerstein was kind of cool. I can see why he wouldn't want to

do this very much.

[Peacefrog35]

Paul IS class. Man I love his intereviews. He's an expert in answers,but still lets you in.

[BeanTheCoffee]

@DKlassicsG yeah so uh...i google translated that whole paragraph and literally none of it made sense. ...But I somehow agree with you

[BeatleUniversity]

I guess Paul couldn't be honest for Beatle Political reasons. If he was honest he would have said "JOHN BROKE UP THE BEATLES. I DIDN'T WANT THE BAND TO END!" That's the truth. And why did John break up The Beatles? WE ALL KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT!!!

[BeatleUniversity]

@mlynn1231 Umm.. I have a life, thank you. And I am NOT a Yoko hater, or a Yoko basher! By no means. But we cannot deny or lie to ourselves the number 1 contributor to the Beatles break up either. We are adults. We have to see the facts and accept them.

[mlynn1231]

@BeatleUniversity They were grown men who made a decision about their own personal lives. Yoko Ono didn't cause that decision to be made any more than had John read Tea Leaves and they told him to leave the band. John's a grown fucking man. These are grown fucking men. Get over this.

[tomgmaster2]

love how he takes the piss out of her

[Ilovealtoids]

I bet she's a feminist. I just fucking HATE her.

[Ilovealtoids]

this lady pisses me off

[jddmr22181]

Both Lennon and McCartney lost half of themselves when they lost each other.

[fullmetalshinigami]

worst interviewer ever. mccartney did well though.

[thejesman]

@fullmetalshinigami Oh, people say that about every interviewer.

[edvadojunk]

Classic. Whenever some interviewer asks Paul a question he doesn't want to answer, he looks at his right hand and grins. I've see it several times.

[Fuzzy192006]

"We'd done it [...] we could only do it twice [...]"

Yea, Paul, the music itself is secondary. It's all about conquering America.
