RE: Blackbird Origins--Really???
@keevy @krystlewarren Argh! Poor memory! He said he sang it to Diana Ross; she took offence "Not really ;)."
And he states there and then that it was inspired by race riots in The States. -
RE: Blackbird Origins--Really???
@keevy
I had a bootleg ages ago (still do, likely. I must dig it up!), featuring a chat between Paul and Donovan, I'm assuming from '68, '69. Between jokes and asides, Paul performs "Heather" (an ode to the wee one) and "How Do You?" ('...sitting in a double decker SHOE - I dunNO...how you do. Don't know how you do it, lordy knows, I've tried' -- does this ring a bell, anyone..?) and at some point, Donovan requests "Blackbird", to which Paul replies along the lines, 'I wrote it for Diana Ross; she took offence.' They giggle.All that to say, who really knows the story behind 'Blackbird'? Not even Mr. Owl can crack that.

"Macca", by Krystle Warren & The Faculty
Hello, hello-oo! I'm Krystle, and I - like you, I assume - am a massive fan of Paul McCartney. My brothers-in-music and I recently released a tune called 'Macca'; an ode to Paul, as well as a warm hug for whoever needs it (like me, from time to time).
I hope you'll give it a listen, Fellow Fans of Macca, and on behalf of the group and ourselves ... I hope [we] [pass] the audition.
Happy to make your acquaintance, and happy to officially join the community.
Sincerely,
Krystle Warren
