I think it's okay to stand up for Paul, defend Paul. I always have, in my heart if not always in a post. He doesn't really need it though, he's fine. He's a good person and a great musician and songwriter. Also, I realize some people are more prudish or puritanical and easily offended, than others. They shy away from seeing sexuality addressed openly. Sexuality is a part of life, though, obviously. I've read many explicit passages in works by acclaimed novelists like John Updike, Philip Roth, Erica Jong, Norman Mailer, Henry Miller and more recent writers which sometimes made me blush, turn red, and always thought to myself, "That's not porn, it's literature. They consider all that a part of human life, which it is, and therefore a valid topic in their writings."
I think it's OK to stand up for Paul too. I do it pretty much everytime someone has a pop at his voice at 76 ! (which atually does my head in )
What I don't think is OK is to make salty comments to someone becasuse they DO have a problem with say the rvelations in the GQ interview . There's really no need for responses like " well i'll have your tickets if hes such a dissapointment" (paraphrasing I know ) or " sex is part of life - get over yourself" etc.
Just say "i'm ok with what Paul has discussed- it doesn't affect me" . we don't need to make people feel intimidated
Well, sorry, but I have feelings and sensibilities, too; and that particular post, so critical, hyper judgemental of Paul's unusually unguarded, open self expression in his words in that interview, kind of got my knickers in a twist. It's obvious the interviewer was keen to pull some new, different anecdotes out of Paul, and if spicey ones, all the better. That men's glossy mag reporter asked leading queries, I thought. He was an eager beaver and got a rise out of Macca, oops-- not THAT kind of rise, LOL

Yadda, yadda, yadda. What I really want to know is if he dreamed "Yesterday". You can't have an interview without that story.

Sorry but I find it hard to respect him when he says he enjoyed the threesome with the prostitutes. I mean, if he would have said...”yeah, we did some bad things I’m not proud of...” that would be different.
Bruce...nothing is wrong with talking about sex. But this is not just sex he is talking about. This is grotesque. It’s shameful.
Just highly disappointed. I could have gone without knowing all of this. Now I can’t look at a photo of him and John without thinking what nasty things they did. Ive been such a huge fan of him for so long. Always thinking what a cute, sweet man he is. The only celebrity I’d ever want to meet. And this just tarnishes everything.
Sorry but my morals just have a higher standard I guess.
He should have kept this private. I mean, normal people don’t go around talking about their sex life. Or how many prostitutes they’ve had.
Its sickening.
Why do people feel they need to share everything?! I hope he daughter, Beatrice, never gets a hold of that article.

All celebrities have done things that they should not have. He was young then. Paul is very respectable now. If Paul wanted to share it let him. it is better to hear from Paul himself than a made up story by the press. I too appreciate Paul's honesty. Don't punish Paul for the troubles he has had in the past. Try looking at all the good he is doing now. I still respect Paul whether or not he has had a good or bad past. Paul is very kind amd caring person and thats what counts.
What Paul did is pretty typical behavior for young, single men. And, personally, I'm offended by your apparent disdain for sex workers. Not everyone believes being "respectable" is a high ideal. When it comes to sex, there are 2 kinds of people: Those who have done (or longed to do) things that would shock respectable sensibilities and those who lie. Bravo to Paul for not putting on a fake show of "I deeply regret my youthful indiscretions." He's not a ****ing politician, and I admire him all the more for it.
And lordy, it's not like Paul's randiness wasn't an open secret. The joke in London in the late '60s was that his blood type was ... penicillin.
Audi told me to tell you that joke was his!

"Audi told" you, Nancy R ? I wish Audi would contribute here again. That I could feel he appreciates Macca very highly again and has got over what happened between Paul and Hillary in the election. I'd love to know his opinion of various songs in Egypt Station, for example. And Martinput's.

Yes, we are friends on FB and are in a private McCartney group there. He asked to be banned from here when a couple other guys got banned.
He has a radio show called Modern Retro Radio. You can search for it on FB.

Great interview & great new pics! Prices of his clothing are listed...lol. Maybe he's getting a new career as a model?
That's just what GQ does. Show male models. But the interview is great. One of his funniest ever! I laughed a lot!
So now I can say "Paul got me to buy a copy of GQ. Never did that before!" Lol!

George Harrison’s Nephew Blasts Paul McCartney For Masturbation Talk

This great-nephew obviously doesn’t know that the story is old news told by Pete Shotten. The “George losing his virginity” episode was also revealed a long time ago!
-
The boy is quite a prude ! (Laughs) Are you sure he's related to George Harrison? Even I have always heard boys are prone to such behavior as adolescents or very young. The circle game thingie. I once barged in by accident on a really startling scene in a college fraternity house...I won't go there. They stood around naked in a circle in some kind of bizarre ceremony and were passing around a snake...I won't go there, that's enough of that. Ugh. I ran out of there real fast !

Exactly. Very old news. Pete Shotten told a lot more than that, too (blush) ! He was irrepressible. Very "outgoing"
