I don’t really think it’s as simple as that, and I believe Paul has often expressed as much. He has said before that in wanting Stu out he was thinking about the band, and was sometimes unnecessarily harsh towards Stu, and he has also said – no matter how important a player of the instrument he went on to become – the last thing he wanted was to be the bass player, but John and George refused to take over on the instrument. So while he felt the band was stronger with Stu no longer on bass, he hadn’t planned on himself having to take on the instrument. You have to take into account that the bass was not considered a star instrument on which you could show off your prowess as a musician at that time.

And of course Paul had no idea (nor could he have) that HE would be the one who would make bass playing seem cool. For an instrument he didn’t care for, he sure revolutionized how the bass could be played (same could be said for one of Paul’s heroes, James Jamerson) and he still plays the bass at his shows today, even though by now he doesn’t have if he doesn’t want to.

The people that frequented your shows on the Reeperbanh probably freaked out when they saw you all in those matching, dressy suits. Did you think about their reaction when you first decided to go Brian’s way and get polished up?

Paul, in case you haven’t noticed, there is a raging discussion about John’s sexuality going on over on his section of the forum. Would you place your right hand on the Beatles Bible, raise your left hand, and swear to tell the Joe’s honest truth about what you know on this topic? If you will, we will all swear ourselves to secrecy. It’ll be just be between you and us.

Well, there could be some blackmail involved a-hard-days-night-paul-7.

Now see what you made me do :-) I wasn’t even thinking about that when I wrote the question.

First cheeseburgers, now blackmail *shakes head*. 

Paul has already answered questions about John’s sexuality. I guess you want the deeper truth, behind close doors?

Actually, John’s sexuality doesn’t make a hill-of-beans of difference to me. I just like him no matter what.

But, I would go behind sky090909’s proposed closed door to find out if Paul has been stating the real answer all along for all of you so we can put that thread to rest.

Boy, you all sure know how to keep a girl’s mind whirling. heart

I just looked back through this thread. It was FUNNY PAPER who started the whole cheeseburger idea a-hard-days-night-ringo-6Bet you never thought it would get this much play, did you FP?ahdn_george_06

Step right up to play Lets Make a Deal!

Which door will you choose for talk with Paul McCartney behind “close doors”?

  • Is it Door #1?
  • Door #2?
  • Or….Door #3?!!!

Now take a minute to choose.

        Ahhh Girl, you crack me up! Am I the only woosie (how do you spell that word anyway?) here…but I am learning that there are some questions I don’t want to know the answers to (please don’t hate me and excommunicate me from the Forum!) And one is about Paul and John…the truth about the truth. I guess it is cuz I am hoping someday that Paul will come to his senses and marry me (I’m not crazy…just obsessed)…Another is does he dye his hair? Another is does he wear dentures (I don’t know why that one bothers me) Anyways, remember…Everbody’s Got Something to Hide Ecept for Me and My Monkey!

        Truthfully, if he didn’t want to talk about a topic, I’d drop it. Not worth losing him over, whether it be a few minutes of his time or the remainder of a lifetime. Let peace and harmony rule.

        I read somewhere that Nancy confirmed that he does dye his hair. {{{fingers running through hair}}} Snapping out of the daydream now.

        I was wondering the same thing about the dentures! I was just afraid to post it. Something about his teeth is different from before.

         I think its obvious he dye his hair.

        Wasn’t Paul’s dad completely gray (and thinning) by the time he hit 50? And Paul’s 71, so yeah, only his hairdresser (or Nancy) knows for sure…

        And most tellingly, Paul was letting himself go gray in the 80s/early 90s until he decided against it.

        I read that Paul was dying his hair black as early as ’69, but I haven’t seen a confirmation of that elsewhere.

        My favorite line about his hair color is still our own forum member’s Ben Ramon’s “violent shade of chestnut.”

        As for how he keeps it so thick, I’ve suggested surgical assistance.

        It’s OK. I’ll be waiting for you with cookies, lemonade and The Capitol Albums Volume 1 to keep you busy while you continue down your path of Beatle sin.
