An incredible, heartfelt, and deeply personal reflection on the greatest songwriting duo in history. In this October 1984 MTV Extra interview, Paul McCartney opens up about what he misses most about working with John Lennon.
Paul admits he’d be a fool not to miss a writer like John. He shares a classic example from the song "Getting Better": while Paul sang the hopeful chorus, John spontaneously added the line, "couldn't get much worse." Paul credits this "collaboration from nowhere" as the secret sauce of their music. His final admission—"I miss that... I think he missed it too"—is a beautiful tribute to a brotherhood that changed the world.
