Happy Birthday, Linda McCartney (b. 24 September, 1941)
"My mum had a massive influence on me, not just in what she wore and how she looked, but in her spirit." - Stella McCartney
"My mum was quite a wanderer. She had a real sense of adventure and a cheekiness to her." - Mary McCartney
"Mum was beautiful, lovely, peaceful, joyous and so sweet." - James McCartney
"Her strength, her passion, everything that we are, all of it is in Mary, Stella, James, and me, and my dad" - Heather McCartney
"She was a very fun person to be with, very amusing and very witty. She had a great take on life, and of course she was very artistic. There wasn't a lot of sadness about her at all. She was an upbeat lady." - Paul McCartney

I vaguely remember Paul telling a story during his conversation with Jarvis Cocker about how he went to the gym and it was closed so he had to wait for an hour. He got out his guitar to kill the time and wrote a song. Bringing a guitar to the gym is actually insane girlie you’re addicted to music if this is true

HAMBURG I: It's not just that the narrative becomes so ridiculous, it's that as usual all the other evidence we have contradicts it. George talking about punching Stuart. Stuart's letters. The sourcing voids. “The logbook recorded” nonsense, but a few pages before that the “logbook” is long lost, “unfortunately.” It's like Lewisohn forgot his continuity notebook.
But mostly it's the pictures that put the lie to “Stuart was all and Paul was off moping in a corner.” (And incidentally, very jealous of Pete getting all the best birds.)
I'm sorry but give me a fucking break.
One of my favorite AKOM Fine Tuning eps btw

"He also had the fascinating ability of being able to do two things at once. In the evenings, he would sit at the table doing his homework and watching television at the same time. How he managed it, I don't know, but the extraordinary thing was, that afterwards, he usually knew more about the programme than I did. And he got his homework correct as well. He seemed to have the sort of mind that could easily grasp things that used to take a lot of concentration from other boys."
ㅡ James McCartney about a young Paul McCartney. From The Beatles Monthly Book N°27 (October/1965).
