Exclusive: Steve Holley reveals Linda would drunk-shame Paul from horseback
I don't know how interested any of you are in the Fest for Beatles Fans, which I've attended twice now, but I thought everyone needed to hear this story.
Tumblr media
I attended a panel with Adrian Sinclair, Steve Holley, Laurence Juber, and Allan Kozinn. The two on the ends wrote The McCartney Legacy. The other two were in Wings during Back to the Egg.
Recording "Arrow Through Me," which I've confirmed with the McCartney Project was done in Campbeltown, Scotland, they finished up a long day and went out to the pub. According to Steve Holley, they both drank everyone else under the table and around dawn, they emerged, staggering, to the street. Paul stopped and said, "d'you hear that?"
"What?"
"Do you hear a horse?"
Steve did, in fact, hear a horse.
"It's my wife," Paul said. "I'm in trouble."
Indeed, Linda rode up on a horse, stopped in front of them, and looked down. "Look at the state of you two," she said. "You disgust me." Steve said something about asking her if she'd let that man marry her daughter, which I didn't quite get, though she said, "Yes, but that's not the issue right now."
And Paul got up behind her and they rode away.
The existence of this story heavily implies this was not the only time Linda had to pick up Paul on a horse. We imagine that, upon discovering Paul wasn't yet home, she merely had to step outside, whistle, and her steed appeared, ready to shame Paul McCartney.

This is very long but well worth a watch. Laurence Juber is delightful (despite the format of the interview). His memory is so clear and detailed!
My highlights include (times approximate): - All the love for the album, especially Arrow Through Me. - "I got my undergraduate from London School of Music and my Masters from Paul McCartney" (can't find the time stamp) 0h04m Juber's assessment of why Paul doesn't really rate BTTE and why Wings fizzled out.
0h12m Linda playing drums! 0h21m Juber recording a solo while Paul manipulated an Eventide Harmonizer at the same time. 0h24m Juber's assessment of Paul as a person
0h35m Linda's favourite bass player (Stanley Clarke)
1h22m Dude mansplaining how Paul was "trying to play bass on the acoustic guitar" in the video for Again and Again and Again. Juber very kindly gives him an opportunity to cop on that it's Paul's Zemaitis acoustic bass guitar. (This is a highlight because that guitar is so beautiful, and I want one, and also schadenfreude). 1h25m Juber playing bass on Love Awake, and Paul giving him a quick bass lesson (more details a couple of minutes later when Eddi brings it back up) 1h40m Gorgeous story about George 1h45m Paul calling the Beatles "my old band" 1h47m reference to Paul and Linda having dinner with John and Yoko (in 1979)
1h51m "What did you do in the Beatles when you needed a single?" "Write one over the weekend" (Paul came in on Monday with Day Time Night Time Suffering) 2h00m Recording of Goodnight Tonight video sounds fun

♡ overall: 8.7/10
Song By Song Review Under the Cut
Reception -> 8/10 Very space age-eqse

Spin It On -> 10/10 Dance track! I downloaded this one, as well!
Again and Again and Again -> 5/10 Missing something, and there’s some questionable lyrics.
Old Siam, Sir -> 4/10 I’ve heard better.
Arrow Through Me -> 9/10 A horn section on a McCartney track can do no wrong. I downloaded this onto my personal playlist.
Rockestra Theme -> 10/10 With a title like Rockestra, it’s hard to go wrong. I downloaded this one, as well!
To You -> 7/10 Think Dad rock, but with an insane guitar solo near the end.
After the Ball / Million Miles -> 4/10 Eh.
Winter Rose / Love Awake -> 5/10 It sounds nice, but it’s forgettable.

So Glad to See You Here -> 10/10 Really sweet <3 I downloaded this one, as well!
Baby’s Request -> 9/10 Very cute, very sweet, very jazz-y, very right up my alley. I downloaded this one, as well!
Daytime Nighttime Suffering -> 10/10 He wrote this for me. I downloaded this one as well, obviously!
Wonderful Christmas Time -> 12/10 The only christmas song I can play all year.
Rudolph the Red Nose Reggae -> 7/10 Not as bad as the title would lead you to believe.
Goodnight Tonight -> 20/10 I owe my life to this song.
