Fresh Air — Paul McCartney ✓ transcribed
podcast episode 35:05
Transcript
  • 00:00 T This is Fresh Air. I’m Terry Gross, and it’s my great pleasure to say that my guest is Paul McCartney — we’re going to talk about his life and music through two new projects: a two-volume set of his lyrics, and the documentary Get Back.
  • 01:35 T Paul McCartney, welcome back to Fresh Air. It is such an honor to have you back on the show.
  • 09:54 P Writing with John was a lot easier, honestly — because you’ve actually got a sounding board. You bounce an idea off someone and you know straight away whether it’s any good.
  • 12:40 P I had this idea to just change our identity — to make ourselves think we were kind of another band. So now anything goes. We don’t have to think like the Beatles; we can think like whoever this new band is.
  • 27:20 P How could anything I do be as good as the Beatles? They were a very special combination of talents. So it was a question of, how can you get better than that? And I just had to say — well, you can’t. But you carry on.

Subject

Paul McCartney reflects on the Beatles — and what came next

Body

In this week’s Fresh Air, Terry Gross sat down with Paul McCartney. He opened up about the challenge of following the Beatles and his decision to embrace a new identity. A few highlights:

Coming to terms with post-Beatles uncertainty — he didn’t think anything he did could match the band, and made peace with that.

The liberation of Sgt. Pepper — becoming “another band” so that anything could go.

1/

It wasn’t easy to figure out what to do after the Beatles. I didn’t think anything I did could be as good. But I talked it over — and that’s how Wings came to be. 🧵

2/

I decided to start from the bottom and work my way up again. As the Beatles we had parameters and expectations; changing our identity with Sgt. Pepper let us break free.

3/

The Get Back documentary finally dispels the breakup rumors. It’s just four guys working out songs, having a lot of fun.

1. How did McCartney feel about the possibility of topping the Beatles?

2. What was the decision-making process behind forming a new band?

3. How did adopting a new identity free the band creatively?
