“It was widely believed that Lennon’s relationship with McCartney was at its lowest point at this time, but Van Scyoc {Gary Van Scyoc, bassist on Some time in NYC, 1972} saw ample evidence that this simply wasn’t the case. “You would read in the New York Post that they were at each other’s throats. I had a copy of the paper in my kit bag, and as I walk into the session, John is on the phone with Paul in Scotland for an hour-and-a-half and they’re yakking it up. That doesn’t really sound like two people who are at each others throats, does it?”

Sometimes I get sad because I remember that the Beatles could never love me but then I remember how much they love each other and everything is okay again
Once in a life I’m a lucky man If I can find the kind of love That’s gonna last for me
Twice in a lifetime Is one of those unspoken dreams We usually reserve for fantasy
Who knows how we find love Stop before you give your answer Who knows when a mystery begins
I know, I know I know because it’s happening to me I know, I know

Paul by Linda, 1968
What I liked about Paul when I lived there in London [September and October 1968] was the books that were around and painting. Paul would say, ‘Let’s paint,’ and he and Ivan Vaughan would get paints and go down in the basement and the three of us would paint on the canvas. It was fun. Paul is so much more cerebral than people think, because he was quote ‘the cute Beatle’. I hate this ‘Was it John or was it Paul?’ thing because they were both talented. They were both artists. They are equal for number one.
