McCartney reveals his late songwriting partner was closer in character to the peace-loving hippie of the band's later years
McCartney reveals his late songwriting partner was closer in character to the peace-loving hippie of the band's later years.
He says, "This is the trouble with history, with journalism. John said so much c**p that he later said he hadn't meant. It's bulls**t. "The image of John is seriously flawed because he was not the hard, madman that people think he was...
He was a very soft-centred guy and we had a lot in common.
"Whatever bad things John said about me, he would also slip his glassesto the end of his nose and say, 'I love you.'"
