Book claims Macc and Ono had affair
A new book on Paul McCartney claims that he had an affair with Yoko Ono prior to her relationship with John Lennon. In his new book, titled McCartney, author Christopher Sanford uncovered a first-hand source who alleges that in 1966 the pair were romantically linked. Sanford's unnamed source places himself at McCartneys London townhouse throughout the duration of a social call by Ono.
Sanford told us that judging from Macca's taste in women alone, it's not too far fetched to believe that the affair took place: "He was known for his attraction to women who were not necessarily, shall we say, traditionally good looking. And we have the source I mentioned, who says that (Paul and Yoko) displayed notable affection for each other. They went up the stairs, and he was seen hugging and squeezing her as she left later that afternoon."
Macca has long stated that he was the first member of the Beatles that Ono approached. Ono went to McCartney's home asking for a set of lyrics to be used as part of a birthday exhibit for avant garde musician John Cage. McCartney has maintained in many interviews that it was he who pointed Ono in Lennon's direction.
Lennon and Ono met on November 9th, 1966. Although they had gone on record as stating that their physical relationship began in May 1968, a recent memoir by Beatles insider Tony Bramwell claimed that they were romantically linked as early as the spring of 1967.
The new book, which sells for about $25, focuses on Macca's personal life -- including his various pre-marital affairs, alleged illegitimate children, and open drug use. The book also sheds an unpleasant light on Macca's treatment of his father Jim's second wife and step-daughter, with whom McCartney severed all financial ties only weeks after his father's death in 1976.
