Wednesday, October 16th, 2013PHOTOS OF PAUL AND NANCY TOGETHER LOOK SO RIGHT, SO NATURAL:
Wednesday, October 16th, 2013Also, on the new album there is a hidden track – “Scared” – that seems to be specifically about Nancy. It’s McCartney admitting that he’s frightened to say he loves her.
“Well, I’m just like anybody else, man! You know? You get those moments. I don’t normally write about them; but it’s a good thing to use. I was feeling it, as well. I was newly in love with Nancy, and I was finding it a little difficult to say, ‘I love you.’ Number one, I’m a guy, and that’s a big excuse, I know, but it is a bit true to form… That song is basically about she and I, and the middle eight is about when we met. And we did exactly as I say in the song, we welled up.”
They met in a surf shop in Long Island: McCartney was on holiday, cycling around, looking for sun cream. The reason they both had tears in their eyes was that Nancy had known Linda, Paul’s first wife.
“Out of the blue, I met this girl and we started talking and she happened to say, ‘I knew Linda.’ So that was emotional. I wouldn’t meet, typically, many people who knew Linda, and who knew her during her cancer treatment – and Nancy did. She’s a cancer survivor herself. So it got very deep, very quickly, and it was like, ‘What the hell was that?’ And then I ran into her a couple of more times on the holiday, and we got to know each other and started dating. So the song is about that, about this depth of emotion, of feeling – but totally being scared to say or do anything about it. Like a tongue-tied teenager.”

Tuesday, September 10th, 2013FUNNIEST PAUL SOLO INTERVIEW EVER (NO, IT’S NOT CHRIS FARLEY):
Tuesday, September 3rd, 2013After Paul and Linda met Norman Gunston in Australia in 1975, for years after, every interview they done for Australian tv, they’d always shout out ‘Hello Norman Gunston’, even as recently as 1993. My favorite moment was when Norman was staring at Linda, then shook his head incredulously and said ‘It’s funny, you don’t look Japanese’.
