1
00:00:31,698 --> 00:00:33,338
‐ You up for listening to a bit of music?
2
00:00:33,659 --> 00:00:35,409
‐ Yeah. What have you got?
3
00:00:36,453 --> 00:00:37,453

‐ Country.
‐ Yeah.
9
00:01:00,310 --> 00:01:02,150
‐ This is John's rhythm thing.
10
00:01:05,566 --> 00:01:06,936
‐ Unusual choice.
11
00:01:06,942 --> 00:01:08,742
‐ You try doing that for three minutes.
12
00:01:08,743 --> 00:01:09,775
‐ Yeah.
13
00:01:12,698 --> 00:01:15,368
‐ That brought it alive,
I remember him doing that.
14
00:01:15,369 --> 00:01:16,867
‐ Yeah.
‐ So I'll do this.
15
00:01:17,327 --> 00:01:18,657
‐ And did that just happen in the studio?
16
00:01:18,662 --> 00:01:19,912
‐ Yeah.
‐ Or this was when you played live?
17
00:01:19,913 --> 00:01:21,083
In the studio?
‐ Studio.
18
00:01:24,001 --> 00:01:25,001
Wait.
19
00:01:27,254 --> 00:01:30,054

♪ To you ♪
26
00:01:51,612 --> 00:01:53,112
It's a difficult part.
‐ Yeah.
27
00:01:53,113 --> 00:01:54,533
And, and nobody would play it.
28
00:01:54,534 --> 00:01:57,116
It's just an unusual musical choice.
29
00:01:57,117 --> 00:02:00,867
But then, when you get back
to the more regular jink... junk,
30
00:02:00,871 --> 00:02:03,121
it sounds amazing.
‐ Yeah. Yeah.
31
00:02:03,123 --> 00:02:04,832
‐ Just from the contrast.
‐ Yeah.
32
00:02:04,833 --> 00:02:08,303
No, that was, that was a really good thing
that did happen.
33
00:02:08,304 --> 00:02:11,375
We all knew we had
the freedom to goof around.
34
00:02:11,381 --> 00:02:12,381
‐ Yeah.
35
00:02:13,175 --> 00:02:18,135
‐ That's an example of one that
I, I had the words before the song.
36
00:02:18,847 --> 00:02:23,387
We were on a tour bus,
and nothing much happening.
37
00:02:24,394 --> 00:02:27,314
I'm thinking...
38
00:02:27,856 --> 00:02:29,606
like, you know,
"Hey, honey, I'll be home.
39
00:02:29,608 --> 00:02:31,188
I'll send all my love,"
and, you know...
40
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:34,195
There was no recording devices,
41
00:02:34,196 --> 00:02:35,446
so you had to remember them.
42
00:02:36,073 --> 00:02:39,242
But you'd kinda wake up,
and it would be there in the morning,
43
00:02:39,243 --> 00:02:41,410
so you'd play it again to fix it.
44
00:02:41,411 --> 00:02:42,251
‐ Yeah.
45
00:02:42,252 --> 00:02:44,036
‐ And John would have
remembered it anyway.
46
00:02:44,039 --> 00:02:47,667
So we realized, you know,
we were writing songs
47
00:02:47,668 --> 00:02:49,038
that were memorable.
48
00:02:49,044 --> 00:02:51,629
Not 'cause we wanted them
to be memorable.
49
00:02:51,630 --> 00:02:54,300
‐ Yeah. You had to remember...
‐ But because we had to remember them.
50
00:02:54,301 --> 00:02:57,009
You know, it was
a very practical reason, really.
51
00:02:57,010 --> 00:03:00,470
♪ Light piano music playing ♪
52
00:03:00,472 --> 00:03:03,522
♪
53
00:03:04,518 --> 00:03:06,308
What was the music
that was played in your house?
54
00:03:06,311 --> 00:03:07,731
Did your dad listen to music in the house?
55
00:03:07,732 --> 00:03:11,439
‐ My dad was a pianist too,
an amateur pianist.
56
00:03:11,441 --> 00:03:13,985
So he played our piano in the house.
57
00:03:13,986 --> 00:03:15,316
‐ What type of music did he play?
58
00:03:15,904 --> 00:03:18,284
‐ He would play...
♪ Chicago, Chicago ♪
59
00:03:18,285 --> 00:03:19,866
Like show tunes.
60
00:03:19,867 --> 00:03:21,784
‐ Yeah.
He played at home,
61
00:03:21,785 --> 00:03:26,115
so it was lovely hearing
someone play piano at home.
62
00:03:26,540 --> 00:03:30,460
His main thing was New Year's Eve,
big family party.
63
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,169
And he would get on the piano
and just play all evening. There was no...
64
00:03:35,174 --> 00:03:37,180
Did he play and sing too or just play?
65
00:03:37,181 --> 00:03:38,634
No, he would just play.
66
00:03:38,635 --> 00:03:40,094
And then everyone else would sing.
67
00:03:40,095 --> 00:03:41,635
‐ I see.
‐ It was a sing‐along.
68
00:03:41,638 --> 00:03:44,307
All the ladies,
they've got their little drinks,
69
00:03:44,308 --> 00:03:47,058
and they're all sitting, right,
with the chairs around the thing.
70
00:03:47,060 --> 00:03:48,690
And they're all...
♪ Red, red, robin ♪
71
00:03:48,691 --> 00:03:50,855
♪ Comes bob, bob, bobbing along ♪
72
00:03:50,856 --> 00:03:51,856
And they're all singing.
73
00:03:52,316 --> 00:03:55,026
But he got arthritis in his hands,
74
00:03:55,027 --> 00:03:58,157
hence me doing exercises all the time.
75
00:03:58,488 --> 00:03:59,948
But he couldn't play the piano.
76
00:04:00,532 --> 00:04:02,325
So I kind of took over.
77
00:04:02,326 --> 00:04:04,486
‐ Do you feel like you were graduating
in the family,
78
00:04:04,494 --> 00:04:06,710
like going from the kid watching...
‐ Yeah.
79
00:04:06,711 --> 00:04:08,615
‐ to all of a sudden taking the chair?
80
00:04:08,624 --> 00:04:09,542
‐ Yeah, exactly.
81
00:04:09,543 --> 00:04:10,543
Yeah.
‐ That's exciting.
82
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:14,045
Um, daunting too,
because I didn't know all the songs.
83
00:04:14,069 --> 00:04:15,089
Yeah!
84
00:04:15,797 --> 00:04:17,297
‐ But it was great,
85
00:04:17,299 --> 00:04:20,635
you know, it was
a very nice atmosphere.
86
00:04:20,636 --> 00:04:22,256
And I... it's funny, I say to people,
87
00:04:22,262 --> 00:04:24,892
I always thought
everyone had loving families,
88
00:04:25,432 --> 00:04:27,942
and everyone was very nice to each other.
89
00:04:27,943 --> 00:04:30,895
And of course later
I found that's not true.
90
00:04:30,896 --> 00:04:33,566
‐ Yeah.
‐ And some people are very unfortunate.
91
00:04:33,899 --> 00:04:37,239
John was very unlucky,
'cause he had, his dad left
92
00:04:37,778 --> 00:04:39,908
his home when he was three,
93
00:04:40,447 --> 00:04:42,617
and John didn't see him
until he was famous.
94
00:04:43,325 --> 00:04:46,035
And also John's mum got killed.
95
00:04:46,036 --> 00:04:47,826
You know, so this was
an eye‐opener to me.
96
00:04:47,829 --> 00:04:50,789
It was like, "Wow, I thought
everyone lived like we did."
97
00:04:50,791 --> 00:04:51,831
‐ Yeah.
‐ But...
98
00:04:51,834 --> 00:04:55,591
‐ It also speaks to the difference
in temperaments as grownups...
99
00:04:55,592 --> 00:04:56,361
Yeah.
100
00:04:56,385 --> 00:04:58,714
That different experience
really changes everything.
101
00:04:58,715 --> 00:05:00,675
‐ That's true. You know,
you think about it, John...
102
00:05:00,676 --> 00:05:02,716
‐ It makes perfect sense.
‐ John had a very defensive way.
103
00:05:02,719 --> 00:05:04,509
‐ He had a chip on his shoulder,
it sounds like.
104
00:05:04,513 --> 00:05:06,013
‐ Which was beautiful.
‐ Yeah.
105
00:05:06,014 --> 00:05:08,524
‐ It's how he got through that childhood.
106
00:05:09,059 --> 00:05:11,099
But I was much more open and just,
107
00:05:11,103 --> 00:05:13,863
"Oh, everything's great."
You know, optimistic.
108
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:17,358
So as a team, that worked.
‐ Yeah.
109
00:05:17,359 --> 00:05:19,439
‐ Because, you know, I would write, um,
110
00:05:19,444 --> 00:05:22,071
♪ It's getting better all the time ♪
111
00:05:22,072 --> 00:05:24,492
And he would go...
♪ It couldn't get much worse ♪
112
00:05:25,075 --> 00:05:28,575
Which is like the perfect foil
for that song, you know.
113
00:05:28,579 --> 00:05:30,459
So I loved the way he would always add,
114
00:05:31,123 --> 00:05:33,333
like, a little cynicism to the songs.
115
00:05:33,750 --> 00:05:35,710
♪ Try to see it my way ♪
116
00:05:36,128 --> 00:05:40,338
♪ Do I have to keep on talking
till I can't go on? ♪
117
00:05:40,841 --> 00:05:42,891
♪ While you see it your way ♪
118
00:05:43,218 --> 00:05:47,058
♪ Run the risk of knowing

119
00:05:47,472 --> 00:05:49,312

120
00:05:49,766 --> 00:05:52,016
♪ We can work it out ♪
121
00:05:52,019 --> 00:05:54,939
‐ ♪ Life is very short ♪
122
00:05:55,314 --> 00:05:59,284
♪ And there's no time ♪
123
00:05:59,860 --> 00:06:03,320
♪ For fussing and fighting,

124
00:06:05,282 --> 00:06:09,702
‐ Thinking back on it, it's crazy
because he wore glasses,
125
00:06:09,703 --> 00:06:10,995
and I didn't.
126
00:06:10,996 --> 00:06:14,536
So if we got into an argument,
I would call him four eyes.
127
00:06:15,292 --> 00:06:17,092
You know, "Four eyes."
128
00:06:17,586 --> 00:06:19,586
And he would go, "Pigeon chest."
129
00:06:22,216 --> 00:06:25,966
My chest is not as developed
as his or whatever.
130
00:06:25,969 --> 00:06:27,848
So, you know, we did all that.
131
00:06:27,849 --> 00:06:30,346
But these things obviously
bring you together.
132
00:06:30,349 --> 00:06:31,099
Yeah.
133
00:06:31,100 --> 00:06:33,059
You probably did everything
together in those days.
134
00:06:33,060 --> 00:06:34,977
Yeah, you did. Yeah.
135
00:06:34,978 --> 00:06:37,188
- We spent a lot of time together.
- Mm.
136
00:06:37,189 --> 00:06:39,148
‐ Also, we played guitar together.
137
00:06:39,149 --> 00:06:41,649
So any chord John knew, I knew.
138
00:06:42,110 --> 00:06:43,740
And if we learned a new chord,
139
00:06:43,741 --> 00:06:49,657
I remember George and I walking
into the local music shop.
140
00:06:49,660 --> 00:06:51,700
It was called Hessy's, Frank Hessy.
141
00:06:52,246 --> 00:06:54,496
And there's a guy called Jim Gretty,
142
00:06:55,082 --> 00:06:56,632
who was a bit of a jazz player.
143
00:06:57,334 --> 00:06:59,590
And he was filling in,
working in the shop.
144
00:06:59,591 --> 00:07:02,296
But we watched him play once
and he did this.
145
00:07:04,174 --> 00:07:07,051
And me and George went, "What is that?"
146
00:07:07,052 --> 00:07:10,346
He goes...
"Well, it's F," something.
147
00:07:10,347 --> 00:07:12,667
I don't remember.
I don't even know what it is to this day.
148
00:07:13,892 --> 00:07:16,272
But it was like, "Wow.
Show us how you do that."
149
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,794
So we got it.
So now me and George knew this chord.
150
00:07:22,806 --> 00:07:23,858
Yes.
151
00:07:23,861 --> 00:07:26,908
‐ So we'd show that to John.
"Look at this," you know.
152
00:07:26,909 --> 00:07:29,275
‐ Yeah.
‐ And so now we all knew this chord.
153
00:07:29,283 --> 00:07:30,203
I used it in...
154
00:07:30,204 --> 00:07:33,950
♪ playing Michelle ♪
155
00:07:38,917 --> 00:07:39,917
‐ Amazing.
156
00:07:46,133 --> 00:07:48,639
‐ John was at art school by this time.
157
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,255
So they had great art parties,
and there'd be great girls.
158
00:07:52,848 --> 00:07:55,598
John would kind of invite us.
159
00:07:55,601 --> 00:07:57,641
We were his little friends,
you know,
160
00:07:57,644 --> 00:07:59,694
which was a little bit embarrassing
at that age.
161
00:08:00,063 --> 00:08:03,733
So I would wear, like,
a black turtleneck sweater,
162
00:08:03,734 --> 00:08:05,904
and we were all trying to be French.
163
00:08:06,570 --> 00:08:10,280
We were trying to be, you know,
we loved the French artists,
164
00:08:10,741 --> 00:08:13,291
particularly the girls, Juliette Gréco.
165
00:08:13,660 --> 00:08:15,620
She was like, "Wow, look at that."
166
00:08:15,621 --> 00:08:19,501
Brigitte Bardot, you know.
These were our favorite ladies.
167
00:08:19,833 --> 00:08:23,002
But I would sit in a corner
and think, you know,
168
00:08:23,003 --> 00:08:26,723
"Well, if I work
the black turtleneck and play guitar,
169
00:08:27,424 --> 00:08:28,884
"then they might think I'm French,
170
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:32,010
and therefore, they'd be attracted to me."
171
00:08:32,012 --> 00:08:33,392
So I'd be kinda going...
172
00:08:33,393 --> 00:08:34,468
♪ Bonjour ♪
173
00:08:41,021 --> 00:08:43,401

00:08:45,025 --> 00:08:47,065
And years later, John said,
175
00:08:47,069 --> 00:08:50,698
"Remember that crazy little French song
you used to do at the parties?"
176
00:08:50,699 --> 00:08:53,077
I said, "Oh, yeah." He said,
"You should finish that."
177
00:08:54,243 --> 00:08:55,662
The other thing was,
178
00:08:55,663 --> 00:08:58,541
because I had this
Frenchie thing in my mind,
179
00:08:58,872 --> 00:09:01,624
Edith Piaf did a record Milord,

Milord, Michelle, and then
I had a very good friend,
189
00:09:30,153 --> 00:09:33,283
actually the guy
who introduced me to John, Ivan.
190
00:09:33,782 --> 00:09:35,202
He was married by this time.
191
00:09:35,203 --> 00:09:38,290
And his wife, Jan, was a French teacher.
192
00:09:38,829 --> 00:09:40,659
I said, "Oh, Jan, listen,
you got to help me.
193
00:09:41,164 --> 00:09:44,004
What's a, what's a rhyme
for Michelle?"
194
00:09:44,668 --> 00:09:46,748
She said, "Ma belle."
195
00:09:47,588 --> 00:09:50,258
I said, "What's that mean?"
She went, "My beautiful."
196
00:09:50,259 --> 00:09:53,007
I said, "Great, Michelle, ma belle."
197
00:09:53,594 --> 00:09:54,974
And then how do you say,
198
00:09:54,975 --> 00:09:58,180
"These are words
that go together well," in French?
199
00:09:58,182 --> 00:10:01,642
"Sont les mots qui vont
tres bien ensemble."
200
00:10:02,603 --> 00:10:04,273
"Okay, you'd better write that one out."
201
00:10:04,771 --> 00:10:09,361
But, um, so between her and John
reminding me to do the song,
202
00:10:09,985 --> 00:10:12,565
um, I had Michelle.
203
00:10:12,571 --> 00:10:14,780

‐ No, no.

‐ No one could figure that out.
239

‐ Yeah.

Are you already thinking
about what else it needs?

we would've got together

00:12:14,484 --> 00:12:16,863
and worked out those harmonies.
‐ Yeah.
256
00:12:16,864 --> 00:12:18,821
Of course,
George Martin, our producer,
257
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:20,662
was very helpful with that too.
258
00:12:21,617 --> 00:12:23,987
George would sort of say,
"Okay, Paul, your line is..."
259
00:12:28,540 --> 00:12:29,498
Or whatever.
‐ Yeah.
260
00:12:29,499 --> 00:12:31,339
‐ And then he said,
"Okay, George, yours is..."

Or whatever.
262
00:12:38,550 --> 00:12:41,260
There'd be strange
little lines, unrelated,
263

but you just had to remember them.
‐ Yeah.

Wow.
266

like other bands, that you
would listen to for harmonies
268
00:12:51,149 --> 00:12:52,686
besides the Everly Brothers?
269
00:12:53,065 --> 00:12:56,734

mainly Brian, his writing.
276
00:13:16,505 --> 00:13:18,505
I think he'd heard one of our albums
277
00:13:18,507 --> 00:13:21,387
and thought, "I've got
to do better," you know.
278
00:13:21,388 --> 00:13:24,215

‐ Yeah, we sync the bass
and keep it moving.
345
00:16:52,679 --> 00:16:54,469
And then the rest is pretty straight.
346
00:16:54,473 --> 00:16:55,433
But that's the good thing,
347
00:16:55,434 --> 00:16:58,311
you can do that straight stuff
and play off it.
348
00:16:58,312 --> 00:16:59,560
‐ Yeah! Yes.
‐ Bom.
349
00:16:59,561 --> 00:17:01,101
But you need the straight stuff.
350
00:17:01,104 --> 00:17:03,022
‐ Yeah, if everybody was playing off it,
351
00:17:03,023 --> 00:17:04,193
you wouldn't hear the song.
352
00:17:04,194 --> 00:17:05,441
It's like...
353
00:17:07,236 --> 00:17:09,146
It's like lead bass, essentially.

that you took an extended time to make?
358
00:17:27,049 --> 00:17:32,757
‐ Yeah. I think we'd sort of taken
six months period in which to do it.
359
00:17:33,345 --> 00:17:36,055
The big musical papers
were starting to say,
360
00:17:36,056 --> 00:17:37,636
"Well, what's happened to The Beatles?
361
00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:39,478
They've dried up."
362
00:17:39,479 --> 00:17:41,136
But we're busily working away
363
00:17:41,144 --> 00:17:42,520
in Abbey Road...
364
00:17:42,521 --> 00:17:44,861
like little Snow White's elves.
365
00:17:45,816 --> 00:17:47,936
‐ And you stopped touring,
so that gave you more time.
366
00:17:47,943 --> 00:17:50,743
‐ Yeah, and also the songs
were getting more complicated.
367
00:17:51,488 --> 00:17:55,198
But it was very exciting knowing
we were doing Sgt. Pepper's.
368
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:55,910
‐ Yeah.
369
00:17:55,911 --> 00:17:59,039
There's stories of people driving
through Laurel Canyon that weekend
370
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,455
and anywhere you drove,
371
00:18:01,456 --> 00:18:04,836
all you heard was the Sgt. Pepper album
coming from everywhere.
372
00:18:04,837 --> 00:18:05,995

‐ Yeah.
373
00:18:06,545 --> 00:18:09,585

a hot weekend summer.

00:18:11,717 --> 00:18:15,007
So everyone's got it for Friday night.
376
00:18:15,012 --> 00:18:18,019
They've got it for Saturday,
and they're all getting stoned
377
00:18:18,020 --> 00:18:20,265
and getting drunk and everything to it.
378
00:18:20,726 --> 00:18:24,396
And on Sunday,
Jimi Hendrix was doing a concert.
379
00:18:24,771 --> 00:18:28,816
So Jimi came on,
and he opens with Sgt. Pepper.
380
00:18:30,986 --> 00:18:33,736
He learned it only two days before.

Real wacky, loud, and beautiful.
387
00:18:55,427 --> 00:18:58,137
He's using his vibrator arm,
his Bigsby arm,
388
00:18:58,722 --> 00:19:02,099

390

"You know," I said,
"That put you out of tune."
391
00:19:08,398 --> 00:19:10,648
So he starts kinda tuning up a little bit,
392
00:19:11,026 --> 00:19:13,316
and the guitarists in the audience go,
393
00:19:14,196 --> 00:19:15,656
"There's no way back, Jim.
394
00:19:16,281 --> 00:19:18,991
"You know, you're going to have
to just stand there and tune it."
‐ Yeah.
395
00:19:18,992 --> 00:19:20,451
‐ "Even though it's your second number."
396
00:19:20,452 --> 00:19:22,161
‐ Yeah.
‐ "You can't just crack on."
397
00:19:22,162 --> 00:19:22,832
‐ Yeah, yeah, yeah.
398
00:19:22,833 --> 00:19:25,329
‐ And he leans in on the mic,
he says, "Is Eric out there?"
399
00:19:26,834 --> 00:19:28,094
Looking for Eric Clapton.
400
00:19:29,044 --> 00:19:30,384
‐ To tune it for him?
‐ Yeah.
401
00:19:31,463 --> 00:19:33,383
Eric's out there. Eric's hiding.
402
00:19:34,633 --> 00:19:37,053
He doesn't want to be seen
in the audience.
403
00:19:37,553 --> 00:19:39,013
"Would you tune this for me, man?"
404
00:19:39,014 --> 00:19:40,562
‐ It's so funny.
405
00:19:41,139 --> 00:19:44,889
‐ Yeah. It was a big, big release.
406
00:19:44,893 --> 00:19:46,519
Your first gatefold as well.
407
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:47,440
Yeah.
408
00:19:47,441 --> 00:19:49,727
‐ It had the gatefold,
with the big picture in the center,
409
00:19:49,731 --> 00:19:51,440
and I remember it had cutouts.
410
00:19:51,441 --> 00:19:52,941
‐ It had little cutouts and everything.
‐ It had a lot of stuff.
411
00:19:52,943 --> 00:19:54,822
‐ Yeah.
And the thing is, you know,
412
00:19:54,823 --> 00:19:56,658
the sort of thing
I was thinking that time,
413
00:19:56,659 --> 00:19:59,115
and I knew the others thought similarly,
414
00:19:59,658 --> 00:20:01,738
was that when we'd been in Liverpool
415
00:20:01,743 --> 00:20:03,786
and you'd bought an album,
416
00:20:03,787 --> 00:20:05,497
it was a, it was a huge event,
417
00:20:06,123 --> 00:20:07,961
actually buying a vinyl album,
418
00:20:07,962 --> 00:20:10,708
because number one, you had
to save up lots of money to get it.
419
00:20:11,128 --> 00:20:13,458
Then I had a half‐hour bus ride.
420
00:20:13,463 --> 00:20:15,720
So you'd take it out
of its brown paper bag,
421
00:20:15,721 --> 00:20:18,466
and you'd study it on the way home.
‐ Yeah.
422
00:20:18,468 --> 00:20:20,798
‐ And you'd read every little liner note
423
00:20:20,804 --> 00:20:22,104
and every little photo.
424
00:20:22,556 --> 00:20:27,185
So we wanted to do something
that was really value for money.
425
00:20:27,186 --> 00:20:29,146
‐ Yeah.
‐ And then, if you're on that bus ride,
426
00:20:29,563 --> 00:20:32,403
you'd need a few bus rides
to check this thing out.
427
00:20:35,110 --> 00:20:37,987
When we were kids,
I used to get on the bus.
428
00:20:37,988 --> 00:20:40,068
On the next stop, George would get on.
429
00:20:40,741 --> 00:20:42,531
We were going to the same school.
430
00:20:42,951 --> 00:20:45,951
It was called the Liverpool Institute
High School for Boys,
431
00:20:45,954 --> 00:20:48,004
where there were a thousand boys.
432
00:20:48,540 --> 00:20:50,210
That was it. No girls.
433
00:20:50,834 --> 00:20:52,840
Anyway, on one of these journeys,
434
00:20:52,841 --> 00:20:54,666
there was a free seat next to me.
435
00:20:55,130 --> 00:20:58,090
And he sat down,
and we started talking.
436
00:20:58,091 --> 00:21:01,181
And we talked
about what we loved,
437
00:21:01,595 --> 00:21:04,965
music and guitars,
438
00:21:04,973 --> 00:21:07,143
because George was very into guitars.
439
00:21:08,268 --> 00:21:09,308
If you were guessing,
440
00:21:09,853 --> 00:21:13,064
how many other kids
on the bus cared about music?
441
00:21:13,065 --> 00:21:15,645
‐ I would guess one, if you were lucky.
442
00:21:16,235 --> 00:21:17,735
‐ So you felt a connection
to him right away
443
00:21:17,736 --> 00:21:20,446
just because you had guitar
in common, and it was rare.
‐ Yeah. We both used to...
444
00:21:20,447 --> 00:21:22,027
It was quite rare. Yeah.
445
00:21:22,741 --> 00:21:24,870
So we got to know each other really well.
446
00:21:24,871 --> 00:21:27,118
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ And we used to hitchhike,
447
00:21:27,621 --> 00:21:30,248
and the guy who'd give you
a lift, "Great, great."
448
00:21:30,249 --> 00:21:33,169
So you'd get this lift, and he'd say,
"Well, I can't go any further than this.
449
00:21:33,170 --> 00:21:35,668
I now go over here." So he'd drop us.
450
00:21:35,671 --> 00:21:38,221
And what we'd do is
we'd go to a little shop,
451
00:21:38,222 --> 00:21:42,505
and we would buy a tin of rice pudding.
452
00:21:43,095 --> 00:21:44,465
It was called Ambrosia.
453
00:21:44,888 --> 00:21:47,178
And I, very resourcefully,
454
00:21:47,182 --> 00:21:49,934
had brought along with me
a little camping stove.
455
00:21:49,935 --> 00:21:50,725
‐ Wow.
456
00:21:50,727 --> 00:21:52,347
‐ So we're at the side of the road
457
00:21:53,313 --> 00:21:54,692
trying to hitch, like...
458
00:21:54,693 --> 00:21:56,280
We've got this little open can.
459
00:21:56,281 --> 00:21:57,395
‐ Wow.
460
00:21:57,401 --> 00:21:59,110
‐ We weren't Beatles. We weren't anything.
461
00:21:59,111 --> 00:22:01,699
But if you look back, it's quite amazing,
462
00:22:01,700 --> 00:22:04,156
"There's two of The Beatles
eating rice cream."
463
00:22:04,157 --> 00:22:04,907
‐ On the side of the road.
464
00:22:04,908 --> 00:22:06,788
‐ Really, on the side of the road, yeah.
‐ Yeah.
465
00:22:07,244 --> 00:22:09,373
‐ And then...
‐ we'd go to the pictures,
466
00:22:09,374 --> 00:22:11,331
we'd go to the cinema together often.
467
00:22:11,790 --> 00:22:14,840
Uh, that was sort of
the great, you know, entertainment.
468
00:22:15,252 --> 00:22:17,920
And there used
to be an advert...
469
00:22:17,921 --> 00:22:20,631
for furniture,
and it was Link furniture.
470
00:22:21,049 --> 00:22:24,009
And so the advert said,
"Thinking of linking?"
471
00:22:25,012 --> 00:22:27,221
So me and George used to like that,
472
00:22:27,222 --> 00:22:28,519
"Thinking of linking?
473
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,345
"I mean, if that was
a Buddy Holly song,
474
00:22:30,350 --> 00:22:31,640
it would be kind of a good one."
475
00:22:31,643 --> 00:22:32,773
So we kinda wrote this.
476
00:22:36,356 --> 00:22:40,106

481
00:23:00,297 --> 00:23:01,877
‐ So those little things,
you know, just...
482
00:23:01,882 --> 00:23:04,722
And we only remembered that
when we were doing The Beatles anthology.
483
00:23:05,594 --> 00:23:07,274
George said to me, "Do you remember this?"
484
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,180
"What? It's Thinking of Linking."
485
00:23:11,558 --> 00:23:12,558
Yeah.
486
00:23:12,559 --> 00:23:15,649
So, you know, those things, I say,
all of that brought you together.
487
00:23:16,021 --> 00:23:20,481
Uh, and then I did the whole
sort of thing with John, similar songs
488
00:23:20,484 --> 00:23:22,694
and hitchhiking and all of that.
489
00:23:23,487 --> 00:23:26,027
So by the time we came
to be a recording group...
490
00:23:26,031 --> 00:23:26,991
‐ Mm.
491
00:23:26,992 --> 00:23:30,700
‐ I think this is why we could,
so quickly, just put together a lick.
492
00:23:30,702 --> 00:23:32,411
‐ Yeah.
‐ You know?
493
00:23:32,412 --> 00:23:37,422
Um, and, and that made it,
uh, more joyful.
494
00:23:38,043 --> 00:23:39,843
One, two, three, four.
495
00:23:40,254 --> 00:23:44,423

George developed later
as a songwriter.
500
00:24:15,414 --> 00:24:17,584
In the beginning, I don't think
he was that interested.
501
00:24:18,166 --> 00:24:19,996
He just kinda just left it to me and John.
502
00:24:20,669 --> 00:24:22,879
But he became one of the greats.
503
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:27,925
‐ ♪ Still my guitar gently weeps ♪
504
00:24:27,926 --> 00:24:29,676
‐ From the little guy I met on the bus.
505
00:24:29,678 --> 00:24:30,388
‐ Yeah.
506
00:24:30,389 --> 00:24:33,556
‐ A little guy with a little quiff,
you know, with his hair
507
00:24:33,557 --> 00:24:35,347
and a little guitar player,
508
00:24:35,350 --> 00:24:37,980
he turned to be a very wise man.
509
00:24:38,937 --> 00:24:42,357
So when I use the word magical,
that's sorta what I mean, you know.
510
00:24:42,941 --> 00:24:44,421
It's like that didn't have to happen.
511
00:24:44,985 --> 00:24:48,275
We could have had five years
and gone back to the factory.
512
00:24:48,989 --> 00:24:50,869
‐ Which probably was what was expected.

came in and played.

00:25:19,311 --> 00:25:22,730

a known non‐Beatle played on record?
518

‐ Yeah.
‐ Had you met him before?
519
00:25:24,652 --> 00:25:26,990
‐ Yeah. So he was on the scene.
520
00:25:27,361 --> 00:25:30,161

or as the guy from Cream?
521
00:25:30,739 --> 00:25:32,279
‐ George's friend. Yeah.
‐ Okay.
522

a great guitar player.

in the same studio,

Abbey Road, number two.

since Guitar Gently Weeps."
530

I mean, you think about it,
it's very generous of George

00:26:08,402 --> 00:26:11,195
to give Eric this moment
536
00:26:11,196 --> 00:26:12,566
when he could have had it
for himself.
537
00:26:12,573 --> 00:26:13,533
‐ Absolutely.
538
00:26:13,534 --> 00:26:15,782

George was very like that.
539
00:26:15,784 --> 00:26:17,664

of each other, it's fasc...

It's another song here.

‐ That's interesting you bring that up.
566
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,616
I was not conscious of that
till I listened to it now.
567
00:27:38,617 --> 00:27:39,237
‐ No.
568
00:27:39,243 --> 00:27:42,963

the best musician in the world
to play on your new song,
571
00:27:48,752 --> 00:27:49,877
he would not play that.
572
00:27:49,878 --> 00:27:50,918
‐ He would never do that.
573
00:27:50,921 --> 00:27:52,631
‐ No, because it's not...
574
00:27:53,006 --> 00:27:54,506

to see it come together.
576
00:28:00,472 --> 00:28:03,349
You guys were essentially blending styles,
577
00:28:03,350 --> 00:28:06,350
but not by mixing two genres,
578
00:28:06,353 --> 00:28:08,855
but really by mixing two fields.
579
00:28:08,856 --> 00:28:09,686
‐ Yeah.
580
00:28:09,690 --> 00:28:13,900
‐ Like when The Beatles played
a reggae‐influenced number,
581
00:28:13,902 --> 00:28:15,992
it doesn't sound like reggae,
it sounds like The Beatles.
582
00:28:15,993 --> 00:28:17,068
‐ Right. Yeah, yeah.
583
00:28:17,072 --> 00:28:18,742

585
00:28:20,826 --> 00:28:23,866

of music is,
