Google is paul McCartney, No, I am paul McCartney, google is google, okay, thank you.

Why is paul McCartney nickname Macca because I'm from Liverpool and they abbreviate everything in Liverpool.

McCartney is a bit too formal for a mac.

And so George, Harrison, a john Lennon lennie.

So they just abbreviate everything there.

And so that's why it's a derivation derivation of McCartney.

Why is paul McCartney wearing an opp badge?

Well, if I knew what an opp badge was, I would tell you, I suspect it's the thing, a badge I had on the Sergeant pepper thing, just like a Canadian thingy.

I never found out what it was.

I just liked the badge.

Why did Paul McCartney write?

Let it be.

I had a dream.

It was in the years when we're probably over doing everything drinking and getting staying out too late and getting crazy.

So I was a bit exhausted and went to bed.

Anyway, I had a dream and my mother who died probably about 10 years previously was in the dream.

She came to me in the dream.

It's a magic moment because you're actually there with your mother.

So she seemed to know that I was a bit stressed out and she said, don't worry, it's gonna be fine.

Just let it be.

I thought, wow, I just felt really great that my mother had given me that advice.

And woke up and was just remembering the dream and I thought, what did she say?

She said, let it be.

And so I thought that was a great idea for a song.

So I went to the piano and wrote it.

I'm going to look at the last question.

Unfortunately you won't at home won't be able to see this last question.

What, how dare you ask me that?

When did paul McCartney become sir a few years ago?

I don't actually remember what year it was.

Well, it's amazing because the first thing you hear, you got a letter through the post saying you're going to be knighted but don't tell anyone.

So that's a pretty buzzy letter to get what it's very exciting actually.

You have to be a bit of a royalist.

You have to think that the queen is cool.

Some people actually turn it down.

But anyway, it's great.

You get to visit Buckingham Palace and you go in there and you're in a room full of people who are getting honored.

And the guy comes in, the Equerry kind of military guy explains what you have to do, how you have to approach the queen.

You have to kind of walk in and then look at her and then walk straight ahead and then just bow your head a little bit.

The queen takes a sword at this point, you have to be very trusty, She could do anything with that Sword one shoulder, the other shoulder and then says Arise, Sir Paul McCartney.

Okay, when did paul McCartney write yesterday?

Um 60 19 Or something like that.

I'm not very good on dates.

It was in the 60s, shortly before we recorded it.

So you can look it up, the great thing about yesterday was it kind of wrote itself, people say to me, do you believe in mysticism and magic with that story?

I kind of have to because I just woke up one morning, what's that?

I like that tune.

After a couple of weeks of asking various people like john, the guys in the band George martin, everyone said, well, we don't know, you know, it must be yours.

And it was very special because I say, I just dreamed it.

What a gift.

I think a lot of people dream and there's music in the dream.

They just go, oh yeah, I was at a stones concert and they were doing this, you know, I've done that too.

And they've been doing a song, I don't know, can wake up and sometimes you can't remember.

So that's how yesterday happened in early 60s.

That's as close as I can get.

All right.

When did Paul McCartney and wings break up 70s sometime?

No, I'm, you know, the trouble is I'm too busy doing stuff to remember all the dates.

Just ask a fan.

They know the dates and you know, loads of people who actually know stuff, but when we broke up, I think it's not an exact day.

I think it would be after a trip?

When I went to Japan and got busted.

I think that didn't help.

Right, when did paul McCartney learn to play the piano When I was a kid, we had a piano in the house and my dad played it.

I've read stuff that lots of people in those days, all over the world really had pianos in the house is, it's like having a computer these days.

Everyone's got one that was the way people entertained themselves because there wasn't much other entertainment, you know, going back like before tv even, you know, so yeah, we had a piano in the house and I said just noodle on it and I asked my dad to teach me, but he wouldn't, he said, you've got to get proper lessons.

So I took proper lessons and couldn't really get on with it because the music I was hearing in my head wasn't do do do do do do do do do Do do do, do do this is like extremely, you know, I couldn't do that now.

You know, I think kids learning continue, I don't want to tell you not to, but I just couldn't ever get it, get with it.

I kind of learned myself.

I just picked out chords on the piano that would have been when I was about 14 or so.

When did Paul McCartney join the Beatles?

I should know that.

Yeah, I mean, I was like a teenager and john had a group that was actually called the quarry men and I joined them when I was a teenager.

So I would be 16, 17 or something.

And then that became the Beatles, the quarry men.

Some of the members fell away.

George joined and then eventually Ringo joined.

So that would be like, I think the Beatles was when I was about 19.

Did the Beatles play at Woodstock?

No, they didn't.

Did the Beatles and Elvis ever meet?

Yeah, we did.

He was in Hollywood and he was renting a house while he was doing movies and we had wanted to meet him for years.

We're massive fans of Elvis, even though the sad thing was, we kind of knocked him off his perch.

We didn't mean to, you know, he was the star and we became the stars and kind of his era sort of ended, you know, we never liked that.

He was so keen to meet him.

And we went to this house and the four of us all together and he came to the door, which is a matter of dispute because we did this story once and Ringo said no, we didn't.

He was sitting on the couch.

I said no, he didn't.

He came to the door.

So my story, which I believe is the correct one.

Sorry, Ringo, is that he came to the door looking great, looking really cool slacks and kind of, I think it was like a red red jumper.

It was amazing.

I mean, it was just like a dream, really meeting illness.

We fantasized about him since we were kind of young teenagers and here he was in the flesh.

So it was great.

It was lovely.

I, I, I knew that he played a bit of base.

So he and I chatted about what basis he played in one place I played and stuff.

And that the most amazing things beside actually just meeting him was he had the first remote television channel changer that we ever seen, You know, because you know, it was that year when they came out and he was just aiming at the tv and the channels were changing.

Whoa is indeed a mighty God.

We can turn the channels without approaching this television set.

So we were very impressed by that.

Did the Beatles and Stones get along.

Yeah, we did.

And we do to this day because the thing was, we were all young guys who were just coming into the music business.

We all had a lot in common and we would meet each other in clubs or Tvp programs that we're all doing and we'd hang out socially, you know?

Yeah, we, we knew them quite well, you know, and a lot of fun and stuff.

I don't quite know how the rumor got started, that, you know, we were rivals.

I mean, me and john actually wrote their first hit because I wanna be your man.

So we couldn't have been that much rivals.

You know, we really liked them And I say to this day, I go to the shows and we sometimes get to hang out a good group.

Not as good as the Beatles.

Good.

Okay.

Did the Beatles use a click track?

No, because there were no such things as click tracks and in actual fact it was a good thing because you just had to hold the tempo and if you ever went off, if you're a good band, you just go with that little, you know, drummers notoriously speed up.

I don't really think Ringo ever did.

He held a really good tempo.

But if he did, we just go with him to do, we could absorb that little thing, but he hardly ever did and he was great drama.

So we didn't need a click track.

Also, we didn't have one even if we needed one.

Did the Beatles wear wigs?

Yes.

And I'm wearing one of them now.

I've had it colored to be appropriate to my age and this is a wig.

No, it isn't.

And no, we didn't wear wigs.

You know how that came together?

Really well.

There were no wigs involved.

But what used to happen, people would tell us when we went on the Ed Sullivan show first appearance on American tv.

All the dads who were probably very jealous of these fine heads of her that we had and we were shaking and do doing things with them and the dads of a lot of kids.

The wigs, they're wearing wigs would have talked to american?

Ah they're wearing wigs.

They're wearing wigs.

So anyway, they weren't wigs and I, but I think that's maybe where the rumor started.

Okay, can paul McCartney speak german?

Yeah, and bastian, you haven't asked him?

Surely, garland.

Okay, give it up a little word.

If you're ever trying to go to go to Germany, you need to know is like, yeah, okay, okay, now you say that virtually everything can paul McCartney play violin?

No, it's it's a completely different ballgame from guitar.

I mean if you can play guitar, you can kind of play bass because that's the same ballgame.

But violin is different tuning and a much more difficult instrument for me to play.

So I can't play violin.

No, can paul McCartney read, can paul McCartney pull tapes off.

McCartney read sheet music kind of, I can I can kind of follow it really.

I tell you the truth with sheet music.

We look for guitar chords, but the lyrics and the guitar chords and all the dots passed us by.

You can see it goes up, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

I mean to that extent, I can I can read it but not really if it gets complicated.

No.

What instruments can paul McCartney sell can paul McCartney Eat play instruments.

Can you play guitar, which is kind of what I started on actually I started on trumpet.

So I can play when the Saints go marching in.

So yeah, then I learned to play guitar and then after that bit of piano, you know when I say I can play them people so we can play these things.

I'm not really a great pianist or a great guitarist, but for my purpose and you know, when you write a song, I can play the stuff I write, but then if someone says to me, oh, you know, play stairway to paradise, I won't wouldn't know how to play.

But yeah, I can roughly play piano, I play drums.

But again, you know, if you put me in whiplash, that guy would kill me, I can't really do that kind of drumming, but I don't really like that kind of drumming, but I can do that kind of drumming, I can do and I've learned a bit of mandolin or UKulele, You know, there's a few little instruments like that.

Is paul McCartney happy.

Oh yes, at this moment, don't get me.

Mad is paul McCartney a Liverpool fan.

Okay, now that's a long story.

My dad was born in Everton, which is the other Liverpool team.

So officially I'm an Everton fan because that's our family team, but I knew the players and the managers of Liverpool years ago and they did so great and they were big fans of mine.

So I'm a Liverpool and an evident fan, I know it's not strictly allowed, but I got special dispensation from the Pope.

Okay.

Is paul McCartney a vegan.

No, he isn't.

He's a vegetarian but it's cheese.

I'll tell you why it's it's a compassion thing for animals and it's the kind of thing that I recognize that a lot of people think it's dumb.

I mean actually less people these days than before, but a lot of people think, yeah, but to me, um all the creatures on the planet that live on this planet, this one little sphere in space, we've all got a shot at our life and so many animals don't.

I like the idea of giving them their little shot.

Plus I'm very happy being vegetarian can get loads of vegetarian options these days.

So it's not like it was in the old days when you just got boiled sprout is paul McCartney.

It's paul McCartney's Hoffner based the original.

Yeah, it's one of the originals.

I had two but one got stolen and we still don't know where it is.

Just somewhere along the way.

The one I was using just vanished with no idea where it went, but the one I'm using is one of the originals.

It's one that I've used for a long time.

It is interesting though to think where did that one go because no one can bring it out because everyone knows it's mine.
