[Excuse english]

Has Paul talked about their last meeting? Well I guess he has but what went on between them and was it on a happy note? I remember reading something about John slapping the door on Paul when it got John nerves that Paul didnt call before coming or something like that. Whats the truth in that?

Hi, Brynjar! Don't worry about the English. It's fine.

The story as I know it is that Paul and Linda went to John's house the night before, where they had a nice evening and watched Saturday Night Live. It was the show where the guy was offering the Beatles $3000 to reunite, and Paul and John talked about going down there for laughs.

Encouraged by such a fun evening, Paul came back the next day with his guitar (I believe). I doubt John slammed the door, but he didn't want Paul to come up, saying he was too tired from taking care of the baby, and Paul couldn't just drop in whenever he liked. So poor Paul was sent on his way.

One source for this is here. See April 24 and 25:

Of course, Paul and John talked on the phone occasionally afterwards, but as far as I know, that was the last in-person meeting. Perhaps May Pang will shed more light on this with her new book.

You just saved me the trouble of writing all that.

Apparently, Yoko looked out the window and said - 'it's Paul, and he's got a guitar with him'. Believe which ever version you want. Shame though.


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
