@kcirdrab Good. I started to worry when you wrote "I suspect I know the real reason behind it, but he hasn't admitted it yet" cause i thought you meant that he didn`t want to admit that he was a double for Paul, and that that was the reason for lying about "Eleanor Rigby"

[kcirdrab]

@Yellyist ... no, LOL

[Yellyist]

@kcirdrab You`re not one of these "Paul is dead" people are you??

[kcirdrab]

@Yellyist Mmm, maybe, but he started putting out this fib about Eley Rig's name shortly after the track's release in the 60's so that doesn't fit

I suspect I know the real reason behind it, but he hasn't admitted it yet ....

@kcirdrab Maybe he didn`t like the interviewer or something, or got tired of being asked the same questions about the same subject. Paul wasn`t too keen on the Beatles back in the 70`s. He didn`t play Beatles songs on stage until 1975. He didn`t like to talk about the beatles in the 70`s. He was focused on Wings, and wanted to plug Wings instead of the beatles.

@Yellyist Yes, I agree he knows better than any1 else what's the truth .... it's just interesting that he's been caught out fibbing on it by the Walton History Society group , & to conjecture why he's doing it

I don't think he forgot at all, he was deliberately misleading people over it & he was caught out .... I'm just wondering why, that's all?

This isn't a pro-John anti-Paul thing

[Yellyist]

@kcirdrabI This is only 10 years after he wrote "Eleanor Rigby" It might be the true story. Maybe the official story is wrong? I`m just saying that Paul knows better than anybody how "Eleanor Rigby" was written, cause he`s the composer. And on changing stories, John did that too.. That doesn`t mean that he`s lying. Maybe he forgot or something..

[kcirdrab]

@Yellyist Yes, but he's obviously lying about it, see my above posts, I'm just not sure why he's lying on that particular issue of El Rig's name

U make a fair point about the song credit issue tho

[Yellyist]

@kcirdrab Lied?? How on earth do you know that he is lying? this is the man who wrote "Eleanor Rigby" I`m sure he knows better than you the story behind that song.

@kcirdrab Too bad the original credit was McCartney-Lennon. I`ve got the original "please please me" album and the songs are credited McCartney-Lennon so there you go. He changed the credit back to the original, and only on songs he wrote with no help from Lennon.
