Instead I think Paul creates real legal issues for these private things. If you think about it, basically every Paul’s secretary would earn a lot of money if they published a book with all the secrets about him and his private life. And he has all the right in the world to protect himself.

Why they don’t do it? First, because they respect him, even if there are some cases in which it ended badly.

Second, because, (I think) he has some legal contracts with them, and they can’t say anything or Paul will drain their bank account with legal problems until they die. 

But of course you can write a fiction with no mentions about him, at that point it’s the reader who should understand what is the author writing in between the lines...

I think the “Problem” will start when Paul will die. I think that many people will reveal secrets about him. 

It’s what happened with Marlon Brando too. I’m a huge fan of Brando and James Dean, I’ve read a lot of books about them and I was always sure that James Dean was, at least, bisexual, and had a relationship with Brando. Because he had an obsessive compulsive disorder regarding his relationship with Brando, Dean venerated him, he was obsessed with him. But it wasn’t a fan-actor relationship. I understood that there was more. But no book mentioned it. They always described Dean as heterosexual who loved his girlfriends. 

Only four years ago someone published a book and spilled the beans and confessed both Brando and Dean were bisexuals, and they had a long, troubled, relationship. 

I suddenly shouted: “I KNEW IT!”. Brando and Dean’s relationship was not a normal one, was not a mere friendship, and it was clear from the very beginning I started reading about their lives. But none dared to talk about it. I looked at different websites and forums, and someone hinted at Brando’s bisexuality, but that was it.

I believe that the same will happen when Paul will die. Someone will write a book, will confess it. I will probably be 70 years old, strolling down the street with my dog, and read the headline of a newspaper: “Lennon and McCartney’s affair”, and will raise a smile thinking about the amount of time I spent on a weird blue website writing about them.

Yes I’ve read this story many times and there are various versions. According to the Beatles, it was definitely a bomb. But according to Beatles fans who attended the event, it wasn’t really a cherry bomb but a firecraker, and it wasn’t thrown on the stage but near the stairs of the stage. 

I think The Beatles believed it was a bomb because they were focused on playing and singing and they saw this fire and then the explosion which happened close to the stage, and they were a bit upset, also because it was the period of the “beatles bigger than jesus” controversy with strong Anti-Beatles feelings in America, fans burning their vinyls on the streets and many protests,...so there was tension at Beatles concerts. And that firecracker might have been a consequence of that turmoil.

I remember that John revealed in an interview that when the “bomb” exploded they suddenly looked at each other to check they were fine. Some Beatles fans who have attended the concert also reported that Paul suddenly looked at John to check if he was alright.  ❤
