An incredible, insightful, and creative look at the making of a masterpiece! In this February 1993 Anthology interview, Paul McCartney breaks down the surrealist lyrics of "Penny Lane."
Paul reveals he was chasing a "very clean" sound, influenced by The Beach Boys, while trying to add an "artsy angle" to his childhood memories. He shares the story of a real Liverpool barber named Bialetti and explains how he transformed a simple window display of haircut options into the poetic line: "Every head he’s had the pleasure to know." A brilliant example of how The Beatles twisted reality into some of the most iconic imagery in pop culture.
Which 'Penny Lane' character is your favorite: the barber, the fireman, or the banker? Tell us! ????
