First, this song. I'd recommend skipping to the middle, and then coming back to listen to the start:
Second, this silly interview with my 17 year-old favourite, Peter Doherty (those things never go away, although I'm a bit annoyed at some of the stuff he says in the interview, but that goes for McCartney as well!).
Still, one highlight, about Wilfred Bramble, who played Paul's grandfather in A Hard Day's Night:
Sir Paul: Dear old Wilfred. Later you start to realise he's an actor, but to us he's like a magic person. Now I can see that he actually got up in the morning, shaved and did stuff, but then he was just this magic guy. Wilfred was a fantastic actor but he would forget his lines sometimes. To us he was a God, and it was sort of embarrassing for him, but in a way it was fascinating.
i found paul later myself...;))
ReplyDeletewhere are you at?
I have to admit--I was hopelessly, helplessly devoted to Paul from the start. Twelve year old me, swooning over an impish grin recorded some thirty years prior! But I eventually came around and had subsequent obsessions with each and every one of them, heheh. These days I don't know that I could truly pick a favorite anymore, nor would I want to...though I do have a bit of a soft spot for old Ringo, obviously, albeit one that has less to do with his song-writing abilities ;n )
ReplyDeleteIf Jane: Sorry I didn't answer earlier, I was computer-less for a while, and then the exams and papers hit! How are you doing?
