Sir Paul McCartney revealed in an interview recently that he almost quit the Beatles circa, probably 1965. A story which is the equivalent of Japanese almost won w=WWII but hey it’s thanksgiving and most bloggers are taking the day off…
Here’s the quote: “They used to have a thing called the NME Poll Winners Party, where the owner of the NME would get us, the Stones, all the top acts, to come and perform for nothing! This was a couple of years into The Beatles’ career.”So I remember being on the steps of Wembley Town Hall, literally getting ill with nerves, and thinking, ‘I’ve got to give this business up, this is no good’. It was quite nerve-wracking.”
or maybe he jusr read about Lennon throwing up with nerves before the Live At Toronto Plastic Ono Band set.
Anyway, I guess we should be happy Paulie lived to hear the “I buried Paul” controversy.
