An incredible, honest, and witty defense of a legendary legacy! In this May 1989 interview, Paul McCartney explains why he never wanted a Beatles reunion.
While groups like The Who and The Stones were staging massive tours, Paul explains that for him, "With John gone, we’re not The Beatles." He expresses deep pride that the band ended on a high note instead of embarking on "dreadful farewell tours." With his trademark humor, he jokes about the dread of seeing "three 80-year-old Beatles hobble onto the Hall of Fame" to sing She Loves You. A powerful reminder of why The Beatles' "body of work" remains so perfect.
