Paul McCartney media appearances and reflections

Overview

Paul McCartney has recently engaged in media appearances and reflections on his musical history. During a conversation with director Judd Apatow, the musician discussed his relationship with the late John Lennon, noting that while he viewed Lennon as a figure he looked up to, Lennon “could be a complete idiot” regarding certain matters during the early 1970s.

McCartney suggested that Lennon may have been irritated by the musical direction of his band, Wings, during a period when McCartney was pursuing a more “madcap” style. These reflections follow a history of public friction between the two artists.

Additionally, McCartney appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in Brooklyn. This appearance coincides with the upcoming digital and vinyl releases of a special edition of his album, ‘The Boys of Dungeon Lane’ much to the praise of fans on social media.
