shiva yesss, John is alive, running the most lucrative secret drug business known to man in the undergrounds of Mexico. He's indeed manufacturing it. Nothing is a coincidence
Paul's total and unconditional love and admiration for John, and his complete inability to hide any of it for even a fraction of a second, is one of the most moving things ever.
Isn't it? It's endearing how John would never fail to make Paul giggle like a schoolgirl. Nobody made him smile like that, not even Linda. It's also moving how John would jump to Paul's protection. God forbid you'd make Paul uncomfortable in any way if John was around. He'd fucking kill you.
@@defaultc00kies63 That’s sentimental, gushing nonsense. Paul and John were big boys - neither ever needed the other to come to his defence. They had a lot of mutual respect but also plenty of rows, rivalry and mutual antagonism. Their relationship was complex and not the doe-eyed love affair you describe.
They were brothers. Brothers fight sometimes, but they have each other’s back. Even when they were slagging each other off in the Seventies, they didn’t want any outsider to be doing it.
Most interviews you can tell that John had an underlying hostility in his disposition and answers. Paul on the other hand almost always seems very at ease and, even when looking not thrilled to be there, very cordial and polite. I think there’s many interesting dynamics and contrasts that made their partnership so interesting and successful
my EXACT same interpretation! this interview cemented a very important fact that dominated their whole relationship...John was TWO YEARS older than paul...and when you are young, 14 and 16 is a huge age gap and the younger one will always be the one to look up to the cool funny older kid that has befriended him:)
@@cs6966 you are so right George Harrison used to follow John around when they were young and he really looked up to John in the beginning of the relationship
Reporter: "There seems to be a report of you ( Paul) endorsing L.S.D.", John: "Endorsing, we were manufacturing it".... OMG, what a response in the "60's!!!
Larry: "how was your day Paul??"....Paul: "It was ok Larry".......Larry: "John, how was your day?...John: "Do you really care Larry??..everyday we die a bit much more"........That's the difference between them...Love them both.
They are completely different characters, but it is great to see how paul understands johns sense oh humour, doesnt take him to seriously. John always had inteligent comments.
Prophets and pockets isn't an exact rhyme, but I agree that Paul was more ready to laugh or at least smirk when he was in the presence of John Lennon, the master comedian of the Beatles.
@@JohnSandwich John giggled when Paul winked at the camera. John doesn't usually giggle. I think they were both high. It's just that Paul was moving a bit slower than John and was a bit more giggly.
@@BobGnarley. I'm not sure about that. Paul toured consistently after the break up, but you can count the number of live shows John did on one hand. I really don't think he liked it.
And the cool thing is that the interviewer, Larry Kane, was actually pretty close friends with Lennon. Lennon once did a charity with Larry at his news studio and did the weather report live on air lol.
@@aaronquist8125 In "The Beatles 8 Days A Week" movie by Ron Howard, Larry made a point that when he started touring with the Beatles press core, his Mom had just passed away. John and Paul of course lost their Mom young as well. So when they heard about it they actually came over him privately and talked to him, asked him if he needed anything, and told him he could talk to them any time he needed to. John and Paul were very good guys behind the curtain of fame.
Reminds me of another interview he did back in 1964, during their first visit to America. Someone was interviewing John and he said “There are 40 million people here...” while pointing to the camera. John replied “there’s only one person there,” talking about the camera man. roflmao it was perfect.
I love John's wit here. He's nice enough, but keeps picking at him. I love it. I love both of their honesty, and it really shows how well the two of them complemented each other. What an amazing duo. It just reminds me of how horrible it is that we don't have John still out there making these sorts of comments.
"I love him.... At the end of the day, when it's all said and done, I would do anything for him, and I think he would do anything for me." -- John Lennon on Paul McCartney, to Dave Sholin of RKO Radio, morning of Dec. 8, 1980
Does he not just mean that the journey going there was terrible but once they got there it was great? Do you think he was talking about lsd or something?
Please note that this is just my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. Larry was the what we used to call "a company man." John called him Larry Page, but his name is Larry Kane. He was corporate Americas idea of a good worker. Someone who would have taken the pill in the Matrix that would have returned him to his regular reality. He traveled with the Beatles on their 1964 US tour. They would tease with him all the time like they are doing here, but they developed an affection for him even through he was as straight-laced as they get. John and the Beatles offered to hire him so he would not have to go into the military, but he refused. I'm pretty sure he was drafted and not a volunteer. He went in during the Vietnam War and made it out alive. He developed a soft place in his heart for the original Beatles. I think this is the original John and Paul because they may have thought after traveling with them a year, Larry may recognize if they had sent doubles. They were using doubles constantly to do public appearances after 1966, but they were still providing the vocals in the studio. That's what Paul meant when he said, "We're still singing" in the studio. The other 3 kept singing after 1966, but not sure about the original Paul. His parts seem to be sang by Bill Shepard. Larry wrote books about the Beatles. I bought one of his books about the Beatles early years. He didn't like the changes that took place beginning in 1967 and talked about how the new Paul would not even give him an interview. He didn't call him the new Paul, but it's clear what he meant. One reason he may have refused interviews is I'm sure he thought he would not be able to answer the questions since he wasn't there in the early years as Paul. Again, this is just my opinion, nothing more, nothing less.
@@rayroren6293 Well, that was a film John did, with Richard Lester. The theatrical production in question, was an adaptation of John's books, In His Own Write and A Spaniard in the Works.
"Happiness is a Warm Gun", while a great tune, has always had a bit of a macabre tone, knowing what happened to him about 12 years after it was released.
Yeah?? I know? I was just saying, some people find it rude when he says things like that, and they should know that he's not being serious. I think he's very funny
4:56 Paul desperately wanted to answer, YES I miss the crowds, and touring, hence the quick lick of the lips, he was born to perform, which is why he was the best showman of the Beatles, it was in his heart.
Funny how the late 60s seems like a totally distant time from the early 60's. When the repoter asked if they missed the big crowds, it looked like they were talking about something that happen 10 or 20 years earlier.
@Rudy Overlord I think paul doesn’t always mean to be domineering. outside work he’s said to be lovely, i think it’s just because he knows what he wants and how he wants it. if it’s his song, he wants it done how he imagined. he could be much nicer about it but he’s not being this looming figure just to be one.
For me, what really stands out in this interview is the absolute cohesion of Lennon and McCartney. People spend so much time saying how bad their relationship was, but this video shows they were in lock-step on just about everything they discussed. They seemed very relaxed with each other, and the similarities in their thinking is remarkable. Very interesting video :-)
In many ways they were opposites and that’s why the were so good together. They filled in each other’s deficits. Their family backgrounds were also far apart. Lennon was much more affluent but his family life was weird! He thought his mother was actually his aunt. He saw her get hit by a vehicle and and die right in front of him. McCartney’s family was much poorer but very close and very supportive of his musical talents. Lennon was a bit older and more of a big brother to Paul and George. Once they figured out they could write their own songs together they were joined at the hip! It was hard for George to eventually break through. Both John and Paul had written songs individually in the past but once they joined forces they became legendary! I still don’t think they were as good individually later as they were in their prime years together!
John lennon is such a hilarious person and paul mccartney is a honest. They both have pure souls, they are not hiding behind poker faces not trying to draw a public image so that more and more fans would love them. They are plain real and that's what we have been missing for a long time...
I love all these reporters who tried to be snide, pompous and arrogant and John, in particular, would rip through them like warm butter. You couldn't compete with his wit.
hdholl There are much better ways to go about asking questions and I think John just had a field day. But I can see how one could consider it arrogant.
It's so clear the relationship between John and Paul was that of older brother who respected, but didn't quite know what to do with his younger sibling, and younger brother who absolutely worshipped the ground his big bro walked on. Touching and heartbreaking.
Why didn't anyone ever ask the Beatles interesting questions, such as "John, how the bloody hell did you write Strawberry Fields Forever? Seriously. That shit is so original it should be illegal, but it's also effortlessly accessible and pleasing to the ear, yet it makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck by how creepy it sounds. How is that even possible to do all in one song? What are the chances that Strawberry and Penny Lane -- two of the greatest songs ever written -- would end up on the same 45? Does that make your head fucking explode when you think about it?" That's what I'd ask.
Here's the answer he could give: ' ello chap. This is Winston O'Boogie from beyond the grave state of death. Written in Spain while filming "How I Won The War". Boredom between scenes made me think about Mimi and my father and all that. Had it in a wonky time, so I had Paul help me out a bit with that thing. The rest is mine. Wrote it, wrote the melody. Paul wrote Penny Lane after hearing my Strawberry song. I was the one that lived on Penny Lane, you see. He'd come and hang out with me when he wanted to feel hip. I gave him "Four of fish and finger pie" like I wrote "What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you, but I know it's mine" for the Help Friends. I never liked how it came out. The orchestra was recorded for when I wanted it to be like a classical song, but dropped it. George tried speeding it up and I thought it sounded OK over the backing tracks. We most have spent more time on that song than any song we'd ever done until then. What else were we supposed to do? We were used to touring and now here we were. Back in Abbey Road. No movie to film. No tour dates. Along with Across The Universe it's probably the best songs that I ever wrote, you know. The released versions sound terrible, though. Nothing much I can do about it now. Just sad I never got to finish Milk & Honey. I wanted to make up with George and Paul, too. This is Dr. Winston O'Boogie and his Dirty Mac's saying hasta luego!
Cassie Rosa No it's not,and we're protesting how unfair it is on 25 March...We'll show him. Other people desrve the chance to be beautiful too ya know.
@Zoe TheCat because we aren’t here to be happy all the time- we are here to experience and be present with everything that life offers: pain, joy, sorrow, etc. 💜
When I was in New York with my girl back in 2000, we hailed a cab & I said 'The Dakota building please'. Our aim was to pay our respects outside & take a walk over Strawberry Fields opposite. To our amazement the Cab turned right into the Dakota Arch & dropped us on the steps of the foyer inside. I said 'sorry mistake' to the doorman who opened the door & we walked back out under that arch. The empty sadness I felt there was quite overwhelming. Especially when we got over to the 'Imagine' circle.
So, it's pretty clear to me that they're both stoned to oblivion. Paul in a little haze, and John in "screw with interviewer" mode. Both combined, make for an awesome interview!
You dont know anything tbh. If you know anything about drugs, its miserable to be on drugs in public being asked questions. These guys were sober at the very least.
"We lost 13 Pounds and we looked a day older." That is so funny, just the way he kept on everybodys back all the time. He is truly missed in this crazy world.
That was quite a sincere response to that question. After a few months of meditation and vegan diet you'd probably drop 13 pounds and look a day older as well.

His first wife Cynthia wrote in her book “John” that back in 1966 an astrologer told her and John that he would be shot in America. This happened during the whole “better than Jesus” fiasco and they thought something might happen to him when the Beatles were touring America that year. As it turned out, he survived that tour just fine, so they both thought the astrologer was full of it. Really creepy how the astrologer turned out to be right...
@@Pezeshful yeah and also at 4:04 he says “it’s a drag” which was exactly what he said to the press the day that John was killed. Maybe he just says it’s a drag a lot but it seems strange

@@Kelvinack He looked up to John in many ways, but he was the stronger musician. He taught John. It is inaccurate and just wrong to say the admiration went one way. They treated each other as equals.
I love this interview. They both look so iconic with their contrasting outfits, Paul looks like a fashion icon, John looks like he’s in The Godfather. Total bosses. The GOAT.
The best line in this interview is the very last line where John says to the interviewer "and you can join Apple whenever you like". Subtle piss take that line is after talking about how Apple is being set up to help amateurs. I love it.
John Lennon was killed in 1980. It would have been nice if he at least lived for a good 40 years after that though, if not still alive today along with George Harrison... 😔
Paul knows john loved him, and john knew paul loved him. Like I said while answering to another person. They both deeply cared about each other, the medias tried to paint them as rivals when there's thousands of photographic evidence to prove them wrong. And you right, this video right there shows how john felt about Paul and how much he loved them, by this time they were working on the white album you'd think they were at each other but they weren't. They were still on good terms, of course this was prior to yoko's arrival on the scene, but you can see they loved each other. The only time john attacked Paul was when he announced the band was over. He was quoted saying he wanted to go public but Paul stopped him, and went public with it himself. It Angered him, but they made up in the 70s as you probably already know. So I'm pretty sure that Paul already knows that lol hehe. ☺️
That was amazing to watch! Larry Kane, interviewer, was on the TV news in Philadelphia. And the Beatles truly liked him. John is so quick, Paul barely has time to get a word in. Paul is giggling, stoned? I don't know, but this reminds me of why the whole world loved them. And miss them.
Despite the mutual smear campaign later on, this vid proves their real friendship. Don't forget that by the time of this itv-this was '68, based by their looks-they had not only conquered the world but dropped a pop-musical-sonic boom by releasing Pepper, as barely mid-twenty guys, not to speak of al their other epic worldly adventures. Consider the bond that such creates. They *were heartfelt* friends deep down. One might have too look for the moments that it shows, this definitely being one of them.
I’ve watched this a few times now. I feel for Paul. The end of the Beatles was near, and you can tell, he thought the Beatles would go on much longer than they did. So sad for him. He had to “grow up” after the Beatles fell apart. He conquered, I’d say.,

Please note that this is just my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. Larry was the what we used to call "a company man." John called him Larry Page, but his name is Larry Kane. He was corporate Americas idea of a good worker. Someone who would have taken the pill in the Matrix that would have returned him to his regular reality.

They would tease with him all the time like they are doing here, but they developed an affection for him even through he was as straight-laced as they get.

He went in during the Vietnam War and made it out alive. He developed a soft place in his heart for the original Beatles. I think this is the original John and Paul because they may have thought after traveling with them a year, Larry may recognize if they had sent doubles. They were using doubles constantly to do public appearances after 1966, but they were still providing the vocals in the studio. That's what Paul meant when he said, "We're still singing" in the studio. The other 3 kept singing after 1966, but not sure about the original Paul. His parts seem to be sang by Bill Shepard. Larry wrote books about the Beatles. I bought one of his books about the Beatles early years. He didn't like the changes that took place beginning in 1967 and talked about how the new Paul would not even give him an interview. He didn't call him the new Paul, but it's clear what he meant. One reason he may have refused interviews is I'm sure he thought he would not be able to answer the questions since he wasn't there in the early years as Paul. Again, this is just my opinion, nothing more, nothing less.
Because you're a dick?
@@anneteller3128 I'm sick of you trolls go away
John talking about assassination gave me chills. 11 years later he was assassinated by this psycho. Poor John, we miss you😢
Falling in love with Paul all over again. So sincere, so innocent, so wanting to do “the right thing”. So adorable.
Ringo said once Paul is”pleasantly insincere”
5:35 Paul: “They’re doing one of John’s books at the National Theater in London.”
John: “It’s disgusting what happens in England these days.”
Very funny of course what they were talking about was how we won the war
@@rayroren6293 Well, that was a film John did, with Richard Lester. The theatrical production in question, was an adaptation of John's books, In His Own Write and A Spaniard in the Works.
John's bit on assassination is haunting
I felt chills.
"Happiness is a Warm Gun", while a great tune, has always had a bit of a macabre tone, knowing what happened to him about 12 years after it was released.
its about smack!
it's about a gun advertisement lennon saw somewhere with a picture of a gun and happiness is a warm gun written on the ad
+almost god That's true, but it's STILL about smack. it's called a double entendre :)
It is almost physical pain to realize we lost John to that jerk…
41 years…
I feel it, too 💔
To this day paul still lives some of the time in NY and walks about with his wife. I wouldn't.
They gave Mark David Chapman way too much of a platform, they gave him way too much, the media is to blame for that...
Should have stayed in England. He'd still be alive.
@@RJLKMRD You just gave him what he wanted by saying his name
“We were manufacturing it.” Lol!! I love you John. Always have, always will.
I think ppl take John a bit too seriously. He thinks being dry and sarcastic is funny and if you don't have the same sense of humor, that's fine
it IS funny. -___-
Yeah?? I know? I was just saying, some people find it rude when he says things like that, and they should know that he's not being serious. I think he's very funny
He's soo funny :)
Tia Blue sarcasm is quality anyway
@@tiablue9106 it's nice because so many people in the world, and especially media are expected to be squeaky clean

Yeah...the best

And ever💖💖
Those guys were the first real rock stars! Nobody would talk to the press like that before them and it became a great part of who they were.
If you think how much John could have done by now in music, socially, in the world…
He is still as relevant today as 50 years ago.
4:56 Paul desperately wanted to answer, YES I miss the crowds, and touring, hence the quick lick of the lips, he was born to perform, which is why he was the best showman of the Beatles, it was in his heart.
Why weren’t they getting the crowds anymore?
The tragedy of the whole Let It Be sessions, as seen in the film. Trying to persuade John and George to play live again was an uphill struggle.
Funny how the late 60s seems like a totally distant time from the early 60's. When the repoter asked if they missed the big crowds, it looked like they were talking about something that happen 10 or 20 years earlier.
My first concert was McCartney in 92. I've seen quite a few impressed shows since then, but Paul set a standard that's rarely been comparing.
@Rudy Overlord I think paul doesn’t always mean to be domineering. outside work he’s said to be lovely, i think it’s just because he knows what he wants and how he wants it. if it’s his song, he wants it done how he imagined. he could be much nicer about it but he’s not being this looming figure just to be one.
For me, what really stands out in this interview is the absolute cohesion of Lennon and McCartney. People spend so much time saying how bad their relationship was, but this video shows they were in lock-step on just about everything they discussed. They seemed very relaxed with each other, and the similarities in their thinking is remarkable. Very interesting video :-)
Of course they are. They knew each other at LEAST since Paul was 15 and John 17. They grew up together
Agreed
In many ways they were opposites and that’s why the were so good together. They filled in each other’s deficits.
Their family backgrounds were also far apart. Lennon was much more affluent but his family life was weird! He thought his mother was actually his aunt. He saw her get hit by a vehicle and and die right in front of him.
McCartney’s family was much poorer but very close and very supportive of his musical talents. Lennon was a bit older and more of a big brother to Paul and George.
Once they figured out they could write their own songs together they were joined at the hip! It was hard for George to eventually break through. Both John and Paul had written songs individually in the past but once they joined forces they became legendary!
I still don’t think they were as good individually later as they were in their prime years together!
@@wserafin11 he didn’t literally witness his mother getting killed, I think that was a school friend who witnessed it.
SO GREAT TOGETHER. THEY COMPLIMENTED EACH OTHER IN SO MANY WAYS. GOD BLESS THE BEATLES, A TRUE GIFT FROM GOD. 😍😍😍
I love how they finish each others sentences AND eachothers songs
John lennon is such a hilarious person and paul mccartney is a honest. They both have pure souls, they are not hiding behind poker faces not trying to draw a public image so that more and more fans would love them. They are plain real and that's what we have been missing for a long time...
I love all these reporters who tried to be snide, pompous and arrogant and John, in particular, would rip through them like warm butter. You couldn't compete with his wit.
+TJ Anderson It wasn't wit. The guy had serious psychological issues. He was bonkers.
StrahaoftheRace HA HA! Yeah, right.
+StrahaoftheRace is it your contention that anyone who speaks the truth is bonkers? i will take the truth anytime.
+TJ Anderson The reporter is doing his job. Lennon is being his usual arrogant and condescending self.
hdholl There are much better ways to go about asking questions and I think John just had a field day. But I can see how one could consider it arrogant.
Paul was John's biggest comic audience😍
Dedra Jade Oh definetely. Johnny could always crack him up.
John made Paul smile like nobody else. It was pretty cute.
It's so clear the relationship between John and Paul was that of older brother who respected, but didn't quite know what to do with his younger sibling, and younger brother who absolutely worshipped the ground his big bro walked on. Touching and heartbreaking.
John Lennon would be one of the coolest persons to hang out with ever, imo.
Why didn't anyone ever ask the Beatles interesting questions, such as "John, how the bloody hell did you write Strawberry Fields Forever? Seriously. That shit is so original it should be illegal, but it's also effortlessly accessible and pleasing to the ear, yet it makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck by how creepy it sounds. How is that even possible to do all in one song? What are the chances that Strawberry and Penny Lane -- two of the greatest songs ever written -- would end up on the same 45? Does that make your head fucking explode when you think about it?" That's what I'd ask.
I'd love to see his answer to that lol
Eric Baker probably: stop kissing my arse.
John and Paul often did things like this, John would write a song, Paul would write a song, and it'd end up on a 45
Here's the answer he could give:
' ello chap. This is Winston O'Boogie from beyond the grave state of death.
Written in Spain while filming "How I Won The War". Boredom between scenes made me think about Mimi and my father and all that. Had it in a wonky time, so I had Paul help me out a bit with that thing. The rest is mine. Wrote it, wrote the melody. Paul wrote Penny Lane after hearing my Strawberry song. I was the one that lived on Penny Lane, you see. He'd come and hang out with me when he wanted to feel hip. I gave him "Four of fish and finger pie" like I wrote "What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you, but I know it's mine" for the Help Friends.
I never liked how it came out. The orchestra was recorded for when I wanted it to be like a classical song, but dropped it. George tried speeding it up and I thought it sounded OK over the backing tracks. We most have spent more time on that song than any song we'd ever done until then. What else were we supposed to do? We were used to touring and now here we were. Back in Abbey Road. No movie to film. No tour dates.
Along with Across The Universe it's probably the best songs that I ever wrote, you know. The released versions sound terrible, though. Nothing much I can do about it now. Just sad I never got to finish Milk & Honey. I wanted to make up with George and Paul, too.
This is Dr. Winston O'Boogie and his Dirty Mac's saying hasta luego!
^ he's lost his mind
"The journey was terrible, but the trip is all right" John Lennon
you can see how much they love each other. What weakness John has for Paul. which is so sweet 😍
John is so dearly missed! The world is a bit less lovely without him.
I love when John says,"the bubble just flew off", and then Paul imagines it and snickers. Haha
Lmao
they were stoned
FallenNewVegasYT yea haha. Paul especially
It seemed that Paul might 'fly off'. 😃😎
50 years on, the bubble still hasn't burst. And I don't think it ever will. ❤️ Beatles forever! ❤️
it just flew on- John Lennon
@@siddycanines6251 I thought he said, 'it just flew off'. Funny either way.
They were the world’s great love affair
They are clearly stoned 🙂Probably had a nice joint just before the interview. Love it.Good footage.
John was as straight as a dye; not pulling any punches. He did not stop himself from expressing how he really felt....my kind of person.
I loved when the repoter asked for Ringo and George and they respond: lovely, very healthy
Works have been perfect if they’d said “very clean.”
Paul is such a beautiful human being. It's not even fair.
I couldn't concentrate from the moment he winked at the camera haha, lovely man!
Cassie Rosa No it's not,and we're protesting how unfair it is on 25 March...We'll show him. Other people desrve the chance to be beautiful too ya know.

‘The journey was terrible but the trip was alright’. Man is a genius with such a quick wit
It’s rare to see John ever smile so seeing him grin at the interviewer’s unintentional joke was pretty great 7:46
Love love love Johnny’s smile.❤️💔
John smiled a lot you haven't watched the right interviews or videos
@@Price70 That was BY…before Yoko.😖
@@gretchennelson9965 they were still getting along after Yoko in 67 and some of 68
Can someone please explain what the unintentional joke was?
Are you happy ?
Paul: "I'm not completely happy, I'd be a fool to say I was"
:'(
He be a fool on the hill, if he was.
@Zoe TheCat because we aren’t here to be happy all the time- we are here to experience and be present with everything that life offers: pain, joy, sorrow, etc. 💜
When Larry started talking about assassinations and it zoomed up on John’s face I got a chill down my spine.
They made a terrific couple in those days. That interview is transcendent for a true beatles fan.
This is the BEST interview of ALL TIME!!! Thanks so much for sharing..

So glad I stumbled across this fantastic, casual interview. Wow. Thank you for sharing!! It captures their complimentary personalities perfectly.
When I was in New York with my girl back in 2000, we hailed a cab & I said 'The Dakota building please'. Our aim was to pay our respects outside & take a walk over Strawberry Fields opposite. To our amazement the Cab turned right into the Dakota Arch & dropped us on the steps of the foyer inside. I said 'sorry mistake' to the doorman who opened the door & we walked back out under that arch. The empty sadness I felt there was quite overwhelming. Especially when we got over to the 'Imagine' circle.
So, it's pretty clear to me that they're both stoned to oblivion. Paul in a little haze, and John in "screw with interviewer" mode. Both combined, make for an awesome interview!
Paul looks stoned but I think John was only screwing with Larry since he came with the four while they were on tour
John's always in the screw with the interviewer mode
Aaron_G Paul’s explanation of Apple sounds like a stoned college kid trying to explain something he doesn’t understand
@@thebreedinghousewife8818 This guy gets it.
You dont know anything tbh. If you know anything about drugs, its miserable to be on drugs in public being asked questions. These guys were sober at the very least.

I like Gilmour and Waters more, for me lennon and paul are the 2nd best
@@StrekRout great picks bro
Yes yes, I agree agree
Check out Paul is Dead channel 👍
Lennon/Campbell??? Nahhh
I truly believe that on a certain level artists are just completely mysterious to people who are not artists.
4:04 Paul says "its a drag" then looks at John, the same words he said about Johns death
"We lost 13 Pounds and we looked a day older." That is so funny, just the way he kept on everybodys back all the time. He is truly missed in this crazy world.
That was a pretty funny line, I agree.
That was quite a sincere response to that question. After a few months of meditation and vegan diet you'd probably drop 13 pounds and look a day older as well.
India didn't cater to bangers and mash!
@@kathrynmcmorrow7170 but, Ringo brought along baked beans. Just in case.
@@waynej2608 Don't knock the "baked" beans until you've tried them:
Baked Beans with Pineapple and Pecans
8 servings
4 cups cooked or canned kidney or pinto beans, drained
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup fresh or canned pineapple with juice
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons bourbon or rum
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 coarsely ground pecans
8 pineapple slices, optional
Preheat oven to 225°F. Rinse beans and drain. In a bowl, stir together all the ingredients except the pecans and pineapple slices, if using the slices to garnish the top with.
Spray a baking dish with non-stick spray. Pour bean mixture into the baking dish and cover with parchment paper. Cover parchment paper with foil; seal tightly. Bake for 2 hours.
Remove the beans from the oven, remove foil and parchment paper and sprinkle the pecans over the beans. If desired, also place pineapple rings over the top. Increase oven temperature to 400°F and bake, uncovered, for 20 more minutes. Serve immediately or set aside and reheat for later use.
It's a really yummy baked beans!
Fascinating and saddening hearing Lennon talk about assasinations
Jack D his face when he said assassination was quite disturbing to watch, it's like creepy foreshadowing
+Pezeshful there is a video whe he reads a letter that says he will be assassinated and didn't believe it
@@Pezeshful I think he was afraid of being killed, his face says it all
His first wife Cynthia wrote in her book “John” that back in 1966 an astrologer told her and John that he would be shot in America. This happened during the whole “better than Jesus” fiasco and they thought something might happen to him when the Beatles were touring America that year. As it turned out, he survived that tour just fine, so they both thought the astrologer was full of it.
Really creepy how the astrologer turned out to be right...
@@Pezeshful yeah and also at 4:04 he says “it’s a drag” which was exactly what he said to the press the day that John was killed. Maybe he just says it’s a drag a lot but it seems strange
John Lennon, forever the coolest and the greatest genius of music history! And one of the most influential people of all time
Genius yea but what he did to Cynthia and Julian is kinda unforgivable to be honest. I respect his work to the highest regard though...
@@_d.v.j.l_2624 yes agree but we weren't there And who doesnt make major regrettable mistakes in life. I know I have. Plus, i can only imagine that his childhood and the incredible loss and pain he went through made fatherhood so intimidating so young. I'm just guessing there. I think he felt all he had room for was yoko. U can hear that at the end of his song god. So desperately sad, u can hear his pain.
and he was very, very jealous of paul's mmusical genius
@@loosilu Paul looked up to John in every sense of the word
@@Kelvinack He looked up to John in many ways, but he was the stronger musician. He taught John. It is inaccurate and just wrong to say the admiration went one way. They treated each other as equals.

It's funny to see how John's comments amused Paul and he couldn't help laughing cause of them haha
Plus he was high as fuck!!

Rest In Peace John Lennon 1940-1980
These guys were 27 at the time and sounded more intelligent than most 60 year olds I know today.
You must hang around with some stupid 60 year olds.
They were lovely together. Two brilliant writers. Wish I lived during those times.
I love this interview. They both look so iconic with their contrasting outfits, Paul looks like a fashion icon, John looks like he’s in The Godfather. Total bosses. The GOAT.
The best line in this interview is the very last line where John says to the interviewer "and you can join Apple whenever you like". Subtle piss take that line is after talking about how Apple is being set up to help amateurs. I love it.
Listening to John. Golly. I forgot how he’s so loved & missed. Taken too soon. Those eyes of a child and wisdom in one gaze.
Perfectly said. Johnny was such an old soul but with such a childlike wonder about him sometimes. He broke my heart.
You can hear the pain in John's voice. Sitting with a guy pretending to be his late best friend who died in 1966.
I love this interview ..stinging wit, understated humour, and just the right amount of sarcasm...R.I.P John Lennon 8th December 2020
John Lennon was killed in 1980. It would have been nice if he at least lived for a good 40 years after that though, if not still alive today along with George Harrison... 😔
Lennon's wit is uncompromised .
And incomparable.
John standing up for Paul the way he did here says all you need to know about how he felt about Paul. I hope Paul rewatches this stuff to remind him.
Paul knows john loved him, and john knew paul loved him. Like I said while answering to another person. They both deeply cared about each other, the medias tried to paint them as rivals when there's thousands of photographic evidence to prove them wrong. And you right, this video right there shows how john felt about Paul and how much he loved them, by this time they were working on the white album you'd think they were at each other but they weren't. They were still on good terms, of course this was prior to yoko's arrival on the scene, but you can see they loved each other. The only time john attacked Paul was when he announced the band was over. He was quoted saying he wanted to go public but Paul stopped him, and went public with it himself. It Angered him, but they made up in the 70s as you probably already know. So I'm pretty sure that Paul already knows that lol hehe. ☺️
They were family and knew it. For sure 💛

That was amazing to watch! Larry Kane, interviewer, was on the TV news in Philadelphia. And the Beatles truly liked him. John is so quick, Paul barely has time to get a word in. Paul is giggling, stoned? I don't know, but this reminds me of why the whole world loved them. And miss them.
John Lennon hated being interviewed but loved his voice being heard
Paul: “I just said the truth and its sometimes painful” Paul was honest and it backfired badly.

Despite the mutual smear campaign later on, this vid proves their real friendship.
Don't forget that by the time of this itv-this was '68, based by their looks-they had not only conquered the world but dropped a pop-musical-sonic boom by releasing Pepper, as barely mid-twenty guys, not to speak of al their other epic worldly adventures. Consider the bond that such creates.
They *were heartfelt* friends deep down. One might have too look for the moments that it shows, this definitely being one of them.

I’ve watched this a few times now. I feel for Paul. The end of the Beatles was near, and you can tell, he thought the Beatles would go on much longer than they did. So sad for him. He had to “grow up” after the Beatles fell apart. He conquered, I’d say.,
This is how I love them. They're pretending to be serious but you can still see just two mates taking the piss.
