Title: Paul wrote Day in the Life
Post by: Loco Mo on October 30, 2021, 01:58:55 PM: That's what he says in his new book, https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/paul-mccartney-lyrics-book-1215719/ (https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/paul-mccartney-lyrics-book-1215719/).

I don't know what to think anymore. It seems like Beatles history is being re-written IMO.

I wish Paul would Let It Be with all this stuff, its not as if John or George can react to what he says.
Paul is the only ex Beatle to release rerecorded Beatle songs (Broad St) and re-release an altered Beatle album (Naked). I think he should leave it at that.

It seems an odd song for him to claim. The lyrics sound much more John.

Agree he should give it a rest.

The lyrics sound much more like The Daily Mail...

Exactly. Perfect John material. He could then claim he was working while lying in bed reading the paper.
