If you, as I, grew up as a Beatles fan, there is a fabulous interview of Paul McCartney on Hulu. It is called “McCartney: 3, 2, 1” (cute, counting in the interview)
There are tidbits galore, mostly about McCartney’s creative process and the Beatles process as well. You can learn what “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” actually referred to (Hint: it wasn’t lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD).
I found Paul McCartney forthcoming, even singing a bit of the first song he ever wrote (at age 14). He shared his fears, his loves, and all in between but mostly he shared his love for music. Numerous songs were played on a multi-track editing machine and using master tapes (copies, I hope) they were able to dissect various parts of the songs they attended to. I was, at first puzzled by strips of tape laid across this deck but finally realized that those tapes, when laid across the bottom row of “buttons” labeled what each track was on each particular recording.
It is clear that PM still loves music, loves his music and never reached the “I am so sick of this song” stage so clearly accessible to other artists. His enthusiasm and honestly were on clear display.
If you are a Beatles fan or just interested in the process of creativity you will love this extended interview of a musical icon.
