Paul draws his friends

 

Hunter Davies has this drawing that Paul did of George and John on display at the British Museum.  I think his "John" is good.   I often forget that Paul is talented in art until I see things like this. 

The Beatles and the Historians - a Book Review

 

Paul and Linda with Hunter Davies and family 

The book The Beatles and the Historians by Erin Torkelson Weber is the most thought-provoking Beatles book I have ever read.   This book digs into the way The Beatles has been portrayed through the past 50 years in books and publications. 

There are four areas that she touches on:  the official narrative (the 1960s), the Lennon Remembers narrative (1970s), the Shout narrative (1980s), and the Lewishon narrative (1990s - today).

The official narrative was pushed mostly through the publication of Hunter Davies Official Beatles Biography.   It painted the Beatles as four best friends that all got along.   Lennon and McCartney were the power writing music team and they were all one big happy group.   

The Lennon Remembers narrative ruined that image of the Beatles after his infamous 1970 interview for Rolling Stone.  Of course, the Lennon Remembers interview is not a really valid historical document.   John was very angry and was using drugs at the time of that interview.  John himself recounted much of that interview and he is known to not be a very good source for reliable history of The Beatles --- he mixes things up in all sorts of interviews.   John just didn't have that great of a memory.  Nonetheless, the Lennon Remembers quotes appeared in books in the 1970s and beyond. 

Next comes the Shout narrative, which is what I always called the "St. John" period.   This perspective is that John Lennon did nothing wrong.   He was this peaceful guy all the time.  Paul McCartney was painted as the mean guy -- the one that broke up the band.   John was the talented with the clever lyrics and Paul's writing was "basic."    This era also basically ignored George and Ringo in books.   

That leads us up to the Lewisohn narrative.   Starting with his Beatles Recording Sessions book, Mark Lewishon started to dig deep into the Beatles' history and setting the records straight with The Beatles' history.   

That is just a short overview of the four parts of this book.   Having been a fan since the late 1980s, I remember many of the narratives and books that she discussed.   The progression of the history is really interesting and how things have grown to today is just amazing.   One thing that I found especially interesting is how she stated many Beatles books are written with a positive light on one Beatle over another in accordance to that author's favorite Beatle.   The author found this to be true with not just memoirs of those who knew the Beatles personally but also with others who did not know the four of them.   When I think about this -- it is really true.  Most books either lean heavily on Lennon or heavy McCartney.   

The only part that I didn't like was how the author kept comparing the Beatles' history with the history of World War I.   I just wasn't following that comparison.    I also wished that she had mentioned that listening to the tapes of the interviews (such as Lennon Remembers) is very different than reading it.  Hearing the tones of John's voice and the way he says the words makes for a vastly different narrative. 

I really enjoyed this book.  It was a heavy read.   It isn't one of those light Beatle books that I read quickly and just enjoy.  This one took me several weeks to read because it gave me so much to think about.   Check it out!

Beatles lyrics - a Book review

After reading George Harrison's I me Mine,  I became interested in learning more about the Beatles hand-written lyrics.   I recalled a book that came out a few years ago that I never got around to reading, Beatles Lyrics:  The Stories Behind the Music, Including the Handwritten Drafts of More than 100 Classic Beatles songs by Hunter Davies.

The handwritten lyrics of "A Hard Day's Night" by John Lennon were written on a birthday card for Julian's 1st birthday

Hunter Davies was the official Beatles biographer, and as part of his research for his book, he was able to get ahold of many of the hand-written lyrics of the Beatles songs.  He kept these over the years and has them displayed at the British Museum in London.  He wrote a book on the Beatles lyrics, not just to show his collection, but also to highlight the collections of others to have a comprehensive book of Beatles handwritten lyrics. 

Having all of the Beatles' song lyrics that were handwritten in one book is great.   It is so neat to see the words of the songs written out by one of the guys and to see what they had laying around to scribbled the new thought out words.   It is fascinating to see what they scratched out and decided not to use in the song. 

Davies goes through each song in the Beatles' canon chronologically. He breaks down the reasons why the song was written and whatever stories go along with each song. For serious Beatles fans, this will be old hat and I found myself skimming through it.  I don't need to read yet again that Yesterday was originally "Scrambled Eggs."  But there are also some gems hidden in the book.  Since Davies was the Beatles biographer, he spent quite a bit of time in the studio with them in 1967. There is a section in the "Sgt. Pepper" part of the book where he prints his notes from some of the sessions. I really enjoyed reading about John and Paul working on writing "with a little help from my friends."  Davies also includes quite a bit of humor in this book, but you have to catch the subtlety of it.  

This is a book fans really need to have on their bookshelf, however it isn't one that I see anyone picking up and reading over and over again.  It is great to flip through and look at the Beatles' handwriting and read some of the stories, especially on your favorite songs.  I am glad that Davies took the initiative and time to track down all of this information and put it in book form.

Chat with a modern "Legend"

This story was taken from the  London Sunday Times but I have the U.S. printing of it from the San Francisco Sunday Examiner and Chronicle dated October 2, 1966.

Paul McCartney, Beatle
Chat with a modern "Legend"
By Hunter Davies

Paul McCartney was in his new mansion in St. John's Wood.

He lives alone.  A Mr. and Mrs. Kelly look after him.    Nothing so formal as a housekeeper and butler.  Their job, he says, is just to fit in.

The house has a huge wall and an electrically operated black door to keep out non-Beatle life.  Inside there is some carefully chosen elderly furniture.  Nothing flashy, affected or even expensive-looking.  The dining room table was covered with a while lace tablecloth.  Very working class posh.

McCartney, along with John Lennon, is the author of a song called "Eleanor Rigby."  No pop song of the moment has better words or music.

"I was sitting at the piano when I thought of it.  Just like Jummy (sic) Durante.  The first few bars just came to me.  And I got this name in my head -- Daisy Hawkins, picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been.  I don't know why."

"I can hear a whole song in one chord.  In fact, I think you can hear a whole song in one note, if you listen hard enough.  But nobody ever listens hard enough."

"OK, so that's the Joan of Arc bit.  I couldn't think of much more, so I put it away for a day.  Then the name Father McCartney came to me-- and all the lonely people.  But I thought people would think it was supposed to be my dad sitting knitting his socks.  Dad's a happy lad.  So I went through the telephone book and I got the name McKenzie."

"I was in Bristol when I decided Daisy Hawkins wasn't a good name.  I walked round looking at the shops and I saw the name Rigby.  You got that?  Quick pan to Bristol.  I can just see this all as a Hollywood musical...

"Then I took it down to John;s house in Weybridge.  We sat around laughing, got stoned and finished it off.  I thought of the backing but it was George Martin who finished it off.  I just got bash, bash on the piano.  He knows what I mean.  

"All our songs come out of our imagination.  There never was an Eleanor Rigby.

"One of us might think of a song completely, and the other just add a bit.  Or we might write alternate lines.  We never argue.  If one of us says he doesn't like a bit, the other agrees.  It just doesn't matter that much.  I care about being a song writer.  But I don't care passionately about each song."

"'Eleanor' is a big development as a composition.  But that doesn't mean 'Yellow Submarine'  is bad.  It is written as a commercial song, a kid's song.  People have said 'Yellow Submarine?'  What's the significance?  What's behind it?  Nothing.  Kids get it straight away.  Kids have got it.  It's only later they get messed up.

"I tried once to write a song under another name, just to see if it was the Lennon-McCartney bit that sold our songs.  I called myself Bernard Webb--I was a student in Paris and very unavailable for interviews.   The song was 'Woman' for Peter and Gordon.  They made it a bit hit.  Then it came out it was me.  I realized that when I saw a banner at a concert saying 'Long Live Bernard Webb.'

"I really can't play the piano, or read or write music.  I've tried three times in my life to learn, but never kept it up for more than three weeks.  The last bloke I went to was great.  I'm sure he could teach me a lot.  I might go back to him.  It's just the notation - -the way you write down notes, it doesn't look like music to me."

"John's now trying acting again, and George (Harrison) has got his passion for the sitar and all the Indian stuff.  He's lucky.  Like somebody's luck who's got religion.   I'm just looking for something I enjoy doing.  There's no hurry.   I have the time and the money.

"People think we're not conceited, but we are.  If you ask me if I wrote good or bad songs, I'd be thick to say bad, wouldn't I?  It's true we're lucky, but we got where we are because of what we did.

"The girls waiting outside.  I don't despise them.  I don't think fans are humiliating themselves.  I queued up at the Liverpool Empire for Wee Willie Harris' autograph.  I wanted to do it.  I don't think I was being stupid.

"I can go out and around more than people think without being recognized.  People never really believe it's you.  They don't really expect to see you in the street, so you can get away with it.

"I think we can go on as the Beatles for as long as we want to, writing songs, making records.  We're still developing.  I've no ambitions, just to enjoy myself.  We've had all the ego bit,  all about wanting to be remembered.  We couldn't do any better than we're done already, could we?"

Truth is Stranger than fiction: Eleanor Rigby

Sheet music for Eleanor Rigby, drawn by Klaus Voorman 

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the song, Eleanor Rigby.    It is a song that is still much loved among fans of the Beatles as well as music fans in general.    Paul McCartney sang it in his 1984 film "Give my Regards to Broadstreet" and continues to perform the song in concert to this day.  


Paul began writing the song earlier in 1966 and explained to Hunter Davies in a 1966 interview how he got the idea:

‘I was sitting at the piano when I thought of it. Just like Jimmy Durante. The first few bars just came to me. And I got this name in my head – Daisy Hawkins, picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been. I don’t know why. …

So as the legend goes---Eleanor Rigby started off as Daisy Hawkins.   However, that doesn't really fit with the tune and Paul was looking for another name.    He didn't have to look far---he was acquainted with a woman  named Eleanor, as he explains,

We were working with  Eleanor Bron on ‘Help!’ and I liked the name Eleanor…I’d seen her at Peter Cook’s Establishment Club in Greek Street, then she came on the film ‘Help!’ so we knew her quite well, John had a fling with her…it was the first time I’d ever been involved with that name.”

So the first name of the lonely woman in his song was set, but how about that last name, Rigby?
In January of 1966, Paul was visiting Jane in Bristol when she was doing a play and saw a wine and spirits shop with a good name

 

I was in Bristol when I decided Daisy Hawkins wasn’t a good name. I walked round looking at the shops and I saw the name Rigby. You got that? Quick pan to Bristol. I can just see this all as a Hollywood musical ...

‘Then I took it down to John’s house in Weybridge. We sat around, laughing, got stoned and finished it off. I thought of the backing, but it was George Martin who finished it off. I just go bash, bash on the piano. He knows what I mean.

And that is the story Paul has always told about Eleanor Rigby.     He even says in his 1966 interview with Hunter Davies, 

‘All our songs come out of our imagination. There was never an Eleanor Rigby.

But Paul was very wrong about that.   There WAS an Eleanor Rigby and she lived in Liverpool.  She was born in 1895 and died at the age of 44 in 1939,  before any of the Beatles were even born.  The odd thing about this is not that Ms. Rigby had lived in Liverpool and died there,  the strange thing is that she was buried at the cemetery located next to St. Peter's church in Woolton. 

Her grave stone is actually very close to John Lennon's uncle George's grave.    Of course this was the very church where Paul McCartney first met John Lennon during the church fete.    Who would have ever thought that the place where Lennon and McCartney met had on the grounds the name "Eleanor Rigby?"     Surely Paul had seen the name on the tombstone and wrote the story around the name?

Paul has always denied this has he said in 2000, 

"It was either complete coincidence or in my subconscious,  “I suppose it was more likely in my subconscious, because I will have been amongst those graves knocking around with John and wandering through there.  It was the sort of place we used to sunbathe, and we probably had a crafty fag in the graveyard…but there could be 3000 gravestones in Britain with Eleanor Rigby on.  It is possible that I saw it and subconsciously remembered it…So subconscious it may be – but this is just bigger than me.  I don’t know the answer to that one.  Coincidence is just a word that says two things coincided.  We rely on it as an explanation, but it actually just names it – it goes no further than that.  But as to why they happen together, there are probably far deeper reasons that our little brains can grasp.”

I have always just thought this was a really, really strange coincidence and just chalked it up to yet another "strange but true" story of the Beatles.

When Michael met the three Beatles

I am sure most (if not all) of you have see the photos and read the story of Michael Herring in the Daily Mail online this weekend.   And while it has been everywhere, the story really needs to be housed here at Meet the Beatles...for real, don't you think?  First I am going to share it for what it truly is...a wonderful story of a fan who met three of the Beatles (for real) and had a once in a lifetime experience.   And then I will have a response after it.  

Same photo without watermark, but blurry and small

Autograph of Ringo and John that Michael obtained that day.  Is that supposed to be a swastika under John's name?  oh John!

They are extraordinary pictures of the Beatles in their heyday, images never published before. 

And, it is claimed, these photographs reveal for the first time a bombshell moment in the band’s history that has left Beatles experts baffled.

It is 1968 and John Lennon coolly stares into the camera. Alongside him, George Harrison has in his shirt pocket a resignation letter from Paul McCartney – apparently written a full two years before he would eventually quit.

That is the claim of Michael Herring, who took the pictures as a 19-year-old art student during a magical day other Beatles fans could only dream about.

Mr Herring says he took these intimate pictures of the Beatles after turning up uninvited on John’s doorstep, later sharing a car ride with him to George Harrison’s house to see the Beatles recording – and witnessing the opening of a letter said to announce McCartney’s resignation.

US-born Mr Herring’s adventure began when he ‘doorstepped’ Lennon at his Surrey mansion, Kenwood, on May 28, 1968, after getting the star’s address through a friend. 

Mr Herring, who at the time was studying art in Kensington, West London, said that to his surprise he was invited in.

‘John opened the door and said exactly these words: “Well then, what’s it about?”,’ he recalled.

Mr Herring said he won Lennon over by joking: ‘John, I wish you could be me so that you know what it feels like to meet you.’ He was promptly invited in for breakfast.

Mr Herring sat down to eat with the singer and Yoko Ono – who ‘never spoke a word and was just mumbling into a cassette recorder’ – and then his luck got even better.

Impressed with Mr Herring’s knowledge of Yoko’s artwork, Lennon invited him to the band’s rehearsals for the White Album, which would be released later that year. 

They jumped into Lennon’s Mini and drove to Harrison’s Surrey bungalow, Kinfauns – adorned with psychedelic murals – to find George sitting on his lawn, playing the guitar. It was here that Mr Herring captured his series of evocative images.

‘George looked up and said, “Who’s this, then?”’ Mr Herring, 67, recalled. ‘John said, “This is Michael. He’s an artist. I found him in me garden.” They were chatting and the topic they were talking about was Paul. It appeared there was some question over whether Paul was going to show up for the rehearsal.’

In the house, Mr Herring was introduced to Ringo Starr and Harrison’s girlfriend Pattie Boyd.

And then came the arrival of a hand-delivered letter.

Mr Herring said: ‘There was a knock on the door. George opened it and there was a personal delivery guy. He handed him this pale blue letter. George read it and passed it to John.

‘I understood it was a letter from Paul’s attorney saying Paul wanted to quit the band. It was as if they were expecting he wasn’t coming that day. They didn’t seem that surprised. I can only paraphrase, but I recall George saying, “It’s from Eastmans and he’s not coming. Paul is quitting.” ’

Eastmans may have been a reference to the New York law firm Eastman & Eastman, the family business of Lee Eastman, father of the future Linda McCartney, who Paul had met in 1967. Linda’s brother John would later play a central role in steering 

Paul’s exit from the band.

The Beatles spent the rest of the day rehearsing in a small room and only broke to enjoy vegetarian curries. Mr Herring said he saw no drugs or alcohol.

Later, Lennon gave Mr Herring a lift back to the station, Mr Herring capturing one final iconic photograph as Lennon glanced into the car’s rear-view mirror.

Mr Herring kept his day with the Beatles under wraps for 47 years, only going public when he contacted a Manchester auction house, Omega Auctions, to enquire about selling his photographs and other memorabilia. The rare items are expected to fetch in excess of £10,000 when they go on sale on March 24.

Last night, Mark Lewisohn, a leading authority on the Beatles, said Mr Herring’s photographs were ‘fantastic because they capture a moment in history’.

But he cast doubt on the revelations about Paul’s resignation letter, saying: ‘There’s no way that can be accurate because the Eastmans had no part in Paul’s life until his relationship with Linda began in October 1968, and there was no way Paul was quitting at this point. They had a number of sessions at George’s house and Paul was certainly at most of them – maybe not this one – because we have the recordings.’

But he added: ‘This does not undermine the general story, which I do believe.

Mr Herring, a retired illustrator now living in Australia, insists his memories of events at Harrison’s house are correct.

A spokesman for Paul McCartney did not comment last night.

Alright so there is Michael's incredibly wonderful story.    And yes---it has some surface errors.   Pattie was George's wife in 1968, and not his girlfriend.   I believe that this s Michael Herring's memory of what happened in May 1968 and I believe that most of it is true and that all of it is true to him.  As with all fan stories, there is often more there that meets the eye (as they say in Help!)

Hunter Davies gave a response to Michael's story that I want to look at.   I truly respect Hunter Davies and I admire him for digging into this story and looking at it deeply.   That is what Beatle historians do.  We sift through the stories and dig down into the truth by asking questions.   Davies asked some great questions, although I do not agree totally with him. 

Questions 1:   Would John Lennon invite an unknown fan into his home just 9 days after he and Yoko got together?

I have to say that this isn't very far-fetched to me.   We have seen on this blog that John would from time-to-time invite fans into Kenwood.   This story is very, very similar to that of David Goggin in that he was an American in at Kenwood to meet John, John invited him in for a meal and then drove him to get George and to attend a Beatles recording session.    He even referred to Michael as someone he "met in the garden" just as he did David.    I am not sure what just getting together with Yoko would have to do with anything, really.   John didn't have plans with Yoko that day--he had plans with the Beatles.   I have no problems with this part of the story.

Question 2:  Would George have invited a fan in his home in 1968?   Here is a quote from Davies, "George would not have invited strangers into his house. By 1968, he hated being a Beatle and hated even more being asked about being a Beatle. Fans would get short shrift."    Before I began this blog, I would have read that statement and said, "Yeah...that's George totally."   However, I have to kindly disagree with Hunter Davies on this point.    We have seen time and time again that George Harrison was the most willing of the four Beatles in invite a fan inside of his home.    There are stories from 1968 and 1969 (Pat Kinzer and Sue B comes to mind) of fans coming to Kinfauns and George spends time with them and in some cases inviting them inside of Kinfauns!    I think a lot of it had to do with George's upbringing with his parents.   They were so super kind to the fans, that I think George felt like it was his duty to be the same way.   I really think that George disliked fans in large groups, but really liked getting to talk to fans on an individual basis.    

 

Question 3:  Did the Beatles allow strangers in on recording sessions?   I agree with Davies on his point that it was an extreme rarity for the Beatles to allow an outsider to sit in while they were recording anything.   It was done very, very rarely.    We know that David Goggin sat in during the recording of "I am the Walrus."    Yoko sat in during the recording of "Fool on the Hill."   There must have been something about Michael Herring that John, George and Ringo trusted to allow him to sit in while they were working on the White album demos.

 

Question 4:  Did Paul really resign from the Beatles on May 28, 1968?    I think we all agree that there is no way that Paul resigned from the Beatles.    Wouldn't he have said something about it in the Anthology?   Wouldn't it have been mentioned way before 2015?    So what was that letter business all about?   Here is my theory:    Between May 20-29, 1968 the Beatles met at Kinfauns and made demos of the White album (if you haven't heard the full bootleg sessions you need to...amazing!).  Paul was there prior to the 28th and said to others that he might not be able to make it on the 28th for the next session.    Paul was extremely busy in May of 1968.  He and John had just returned from New York to announce Apple, Paul was working with the band Grapefruit on their promotional film (filmed on the 26th), and he was sort of juggling three women (Jane, Francie and Linda).   So the three didn't think Paul was going to show up.  He might have said that he would try to make it.    The letter comes from Paul saying that he wasn't going to be able to make it and George makes a joke saying that Paul has quit the band.   He says the Eastmans bit because it was a joke.   Paul had just spent time with Linda Eastman in New York.   John had probably given Paul a hard time about Linda's dad being a lawyer.   It was a joke between the three of them.   However, Michael didn't know that.  He took what was said at face value.  Paul had quit the Beatles.   There were always rumors about one of the Beatles quitting.    Paul wouldn't have been involved with the Eastmans in May of 1968---he barely was in a relationship with Linda.   

 

Question 5:  Why did Michael Herring wait so long to share his story and photos?    Well---the photos have been out there.   They just haven't been so crisp and detailed.   But I had seen some of them before.   Sometimes Beatle fans do not wish to share their stories.   They want to keep them private and to themselves because they like to hang onto it.    I personally don't understand it, but I do respect it.   

 

 

The John Lennon Letters: A book Review

Being a big John Lennon fan, when I first heard about the Hunter Davies book, The John Lennon Letters, I knew that I HAD to get it!  The things John wrote always fascinated me, be it lyrics to his songs, one of his books or one of the many fan letters I had read over the years.   As a matter of fact, whenever a letter John had written went up for auction, I always saved the photo of it for my files, just because I enjoyed reading them.

The book is very interesting. It is for those of us in the world who are major John Lennon fans.   It isn't for someone who has just a slight interest in John because they like the song Imagine.  This book is to be read alongside Lennon biographies such as the one by Ray Coleman.  Personally I feel that the new Hunter Davies book helps fill in some blanks and paints a more complete picture of the 40 years John was on this earth.  

The book is full of letters, notes, autographs and things that John wrote to other people. It is called "The John Lennon Letters."  Davies uses the word, "letters" loosely and includes basically anything John wrote in a means to communicate to others.  He has things that he wrote to his family members, things written to fans, to magazines, to Beatle insiders, and to his personal assistants. Nothing in the letters particularly"shocked" me.  I am sure that we all read the M.M. letter war that went on between John and Paul.    While I was reading through that section, I had to think that if this were to occur today, it would have been a Twitter or Facebook war between these two.  But the way it was done in the 1970s was through the rock magazines. 

As one might expect from me, my absolute favorite part of the book was the letters that John wrote to his fans. It amazes me that seriously throughout his entire career as a performer, John was writing to his fans.  Sure, not nearly everyone got a response, but it is amazing that he even took the time to respond to anyone.    And with just a few exceptions, he was always very kind to the fans. I also enjoyed reading the letters that John wrote to his family in England. These letters added a certain amount of "human" to John.  He was bragging about his son and asking for photos of the family, just like any father might do.   He showed concern for his family, and he truly missed him. It was just a nice thing to read.

I have read that people think it is "boring" to read most of the things in this book.  It might be asked, "Why would I want to read John Lennon's grocery list?" I didn't mind the lists.  It really put the whole "househusband" thing into perspective.  And I liked knowing that he needed to get cat food.

The only thing that I disliked about the book was the errors that I found.  I respect Hunter Davies as the only person who was officially the Beatles biographer.  His 1968 biography was groundbreaking at that time. His book on the Quarry Men is very good.  He is one of the people who I consider to be in the amazing Beatle authors book club.  So, I was very shocked to see a few glaring mistakes in this book.   The first one was a doozy.  He puts the date of John Lennon meeting Paul McCartney as June 15, 1957.   How he made this mistake on the date is beyond me.  There is one entire book about every single detail of what happened on the day John met Paul (July 6, 1957).  Another big error is the picture of John taken November 14, 1973 in Los Angeles is placed right before the chapter on 1967-1968 with a caption of "John at home by the pool at Kenwood."  (cringe!)    What really confuses me when I find this type of mistake is how books on the Beatles get published with such big errors?   Aren't there people that are supposed to correct that sort of stuff?  However, these mistakes do not take away from the letters written in the book.

I just loved this part of the book: a letter from John and Yoko to Kyoko from the summer of 1970!

I also must mention that our friend, Lizzie Bravo, is mentioned in this book!  It is well worth getting for that reason alone!  If you want to know what John Lennon wrote to Lizzie on the back of this photograph, then you need to get the book.
