"When John and Yoko were photographed in the nude for the Two Virgins cover, they showed Sir Joe the photograph. He refused to allow EMI to distribute the record. John asked him if he were shocked. He told him that he wasn't, that they should have had better bodies on the cover. 'They're not very attractive,' he said, referring to the figures of John and Yoko, 'Paul McCartney would look better than you.'"

I can’t remember where I heard it and it’s driving me a bit insane and was wandering if you knew since your like a Beatle encyclopedia. Have you heard or know of a quote that said Paul had Linda on a “tight leash” and that she felt unhappy but stayed for the kids ? And something along the lines of Linda not having money of her own cause paul was in charge of all of it ?
Hello nonny! Thank you for the lovely compliment. Unless you meant to say that, like any Beatles encyclopedia, I am full of inaccuracies and unjustified opinions. :)
I must admit I am very skeptical of a lot of the negative takes on Paul and Linda's marriage. They get accused of claiming it was idyllic, but the only times I've seen either of them speak about their relationship it was always in very realistic terms like: "we're not perfect", "we argue", "we have to work at our relationship".
I have heard references to Paul being controlling and tight with money, but not from any sources I considered particularly reliable.
It is my firm belief that despite their unique circumstances, they had a reasonably normal relationship that they worked hard on. Did they sometimes upset and disappoint one another? Of course. Did they go through phases where one or other thought they might leave? Most likely (show me any 3 decade marriage where no-one ever considered leaving). Is Paul a bit of a misogynist? Yes, but within normal parameters for the time he grew up, and with some really remarkable streaks of empathy.
Was Paul monstrous towards Linda? I just don't believe it. Linda doesn't act like someone on a tight leash, in my opinion. She shows confident resistance to Paul's bullshit in plenty of Wings interviews, and his response is not (as far as I can tell) that of an abuser who will get her back for it later.
As someone who has also chosen to prioritise caring for my kids over my own career goals, Linda is a bit of a hero of mine. I object to the way her choices are treated (in some corners of the fandom) as something imposed on her.

The truth was that when John and I were together, we were much more equal. [...]
And I suspect that if that hadn’t have been, that we wouldn’t have put up with each other for so long.
-Paul McCartney interviewed by David Frost, 1997
He was a major influence on my life, as I suppose I was on his.
-Paul McCartney to Bill Harry, The John Lennon Encyclopedia, 2001
We really were a complete fluke – just two kids who happened to meet up in Liverpool and share an interest and start writing songs together. And then developed, organically, together. And had the same sense of humour. And learned things at the same rate. Found out about Vietnam together. Little things. All of these little awarenesses pretty much hit us at the same time over a period of years. And you really become soulmates when that happens.
— Paul McCartney, interview w/ Mark Binelli for Rolling Stone: Sir Paul rides again (October 20th, 2005)
The Beatles split up and we were sort of all equal. George did his record, John did his, I did mine, Ringo did his. It was as we were during the Beatles' times. We were equal.
When John got shot, aside from the pure horror of it, the lingering thing was, OK, well now John's a martyr. A JFK. So what happened was, I started to get frustrated because people started to say, ‘Well, he was The Beatles.’
- Paul McCartney to ESQUIRE by ALEX BILMES (2015)
To me, me and John writing, it was so equal. And sometimes it was not equal. Sometimes I was absolutely the one that got his ass out of bed. Which I don’t go round saying. You won’t find me saying, ‘Oh, it was me!’ You’ll find other people saying, ‘It was him! It was me!’ I don’t want to do that. I’m happy with half credit.
-Paul McCartney, Sticky Fingers by Joe Hagan (2017)

The musician Ryuichi Sakamoto, who has died aged 71 of cancer, spent his life as a restless traveller, both personally and musically. “I was born in Japan but I don’t think I’m Japanese,” he said in 1988, two years before he moved to New York. “To be a stranger – I like that attitude. I don’t like nationalities and borders.”
A founder member of Tokyo’s pioneering computer-pop trio Yellow Magic Orchestra, whose work between 1978 and 1984 has proved a lasting influence on hip-hop and electronica, Sakamoto was able to combine his skills as an academically trained musician with an aptitude for electronic music and an ear for countless musical styles. He sustained a lengthy partnership with the British musician David Sylvian after first working with his band Japan on the track Taking Islands in Africa from the album Gentlemen Take Polaroids (1980), following which the duo collaborated on the double A-side Bamboo Houses/Bamboo Music (1982).
In 1983, Sakamoto achieved a peak of commercial visibility by not only writing the soundtrack for Nagisa Oshima’s film Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence, but also co-starring in it (as Captain Yonoi) with David Bowie. The soundtrack, which won him a Bafta for best film music, contained the Sakamoto/Sylvian composition Forbidden Colours, a vocal version of the film’s main theme, which was a Top 20 hit in Britain.
Soundtrack work became one of the main planks of Sakamoto’s career. He won an Academy Award (along with his fellow composers David Byrne and Cong Su) for his soundtrack to Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Last Emperor (1987), in which he also had an acting role, and worked with the director again on The Sheltering Sky (1990) and Little Buddha (1993).
Sakamoto scored the 1990 film version of The Handmaid’s Tale, Pedro Almodóvar’s Tacones Lejanos (High Heels, 1991), and Brian De Palma’s Snake Eyes (1998) and Femme Fatale (2002). Oliver Stone hired him for the soundtrack to his TV series Wild Palms (1993). Alejandro González Iñárritu used some existing Sakamoto recordings in his 2006 film Babel, then recruited him to write the score for his multiple Oscar-winner The Revenant (2015). For the opening of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics he provided El Mar Mediterrani.
Sakamoto released solo albums regularly between 1978 and 2017, many of them reaching the Top 30 in Japan but not registering on charts elsewhere, as well as six live albums and a string of compilations. However, Sakamoto’s subtle, exploratory music earned him a charismatic reputation that drew international guest stars to his projects.
On B-2 Unit (1980), he collaborated closely with Andy Partridge from XTC, and the electrofunk track Riot in Lagos proved inspirational for the likes of Mantronix and Afrikaa Bambaataa. Thomas Dolby featured on the pulsating Field Work from Illustrated Musical Encyclopedia (1986), the track accompanied by an ingeniously conceived video, while for Neo Geo (1987) Sakamoto enlisted Iggy Pop, Bill Laswell, Bootsy Collins and Sly Dunbar.
Brian Wilson and Robbie Robertson appeared on Beauty (1989), an album that spanned rock, technopop, flamenco and classical Japanese music. Heartbeat (1991), on which Sakamoto tried rap, funk and jazz, and lyrics in French, Japanese and Russian, numbered Youssou N’Dour, Arto Lindsay, Bill Frisell, Sylvian and John Cage among its contributors. In 1993, Sakamoto co-produced Aztec Camera’s album Dreamland.
Born in Tokyo, Ryuichi was the only child of Keiko (nee Shimomura), a hat designer, and Kazuki Sakomoto, a literary editor. While attending the same progressive primary school that once taught Yoko Ono, he was already writing music for the piano with their encouragement.
The American presence in postwar Japan introduced new western influences to the country, and Sakamoto was enraptured by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. He attended Tokyo’s University of the Arts to study music composition, and felt a strong affinity for the compositions of Claude Debussy, in which he discerned an Asian influence. However, in addition he soaked up the work of contemporary composers such as Cage, Pierre Boulez, Györgi Ligeti and Stockhausen, as well as jazz musicians including John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman.
His early compositions were in an avant-garde vein, while he also performed with free jazz bands and played keyboards with the folk singer Masato Tomobe. He graduated with BA and MA degrees, having studied classical and assorted world and ethnic music, and taken his first steps in electronic music by working with Moog and ARP synthesizers.
He formed Yellow Magic Orchestra in 1978 with Haruomi “Harry” Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi, whom he had met when they worked together as session musicians. Combining electropop with stylish graphics and costume design, the trio brought wit and warmth to the use of electronics, which contrasted with the studied alienation of European counterparts such as Kraftwerk or Gary Numan.
YMO released eight studio albums during their original lifespan, all of them climbing high in the Japanese charts, and three of them reaching No 1. The group inspired Beatlemania-like hysteria in their homeland. “We were very big, that’s why I hated it,” Sakamoto said. “We were always followed by paparazzi.”
YMO’s albums made little chart impact outside Japan, but their influence was nonetheless widely felt, not least in their innovative use of electronic sequencers, drum machines and sampling. Firecracker, from their 1978 debut album, was itself sampled in Afrika Bambaataa’s Death Mix. In 1980 they had a Top 20 hit in the UK with Computer Game (Theme from the Invaders), which chimed with the craze for the Space Invaders game. Behind the Mask, first conceived for a Seiko wristwatch commercial and then included on their album Solid State Survivor (1979), became a Top 20 UK hit for Eric Clapton; a version by Michael Jackson appeared on the posthumous album Michael (2010).
YMO paused their activities in 1984, though the trio continued to collaborate on each other’s solo work, and they reformed to make the album Technodon (1993). They subsequently reunited several times for recording and live performances, their last shows being for the No Nukes 2012 festival in Chiba, Japan, and the 2012 World Happiness festival in Tokyo.
In his teens in the late 1960s, Sakamoto had been a hippy with leftwing political beliefs – “not 100% Marxist, but kind of” – but he gradually became disillusioned with the failure of political movements to effect significant change. He decided that his music was not the place for social or political messages, observing that “I’ve changed from an avant-garde person to a pop person,” though he would subsequently support causes he felt strongly about.
He campaigned for changes to music copyright law, which he considered outmoded in the internet era, and founded Commmons, a collaborative platform to assist aspiring musicians. He formed a group of musicians called NML (No More Landmines), which featured Brian Eno, Sylvian, Kraftwerk and the other members of YMO, and in 2001 they released the single Zero Landmine.
In 2006 he launched the Stop Rokkasho movement by releasing the track Rokkasho (by a group of musicians dubbed Team 6), in protest at the building of Japan’s Rokkasho nuclear fuel reprocessing plant, and he campaigned to have the Hamaoka nuclear plant shut down to avoid a repeat of the 2011 tsunami disaster at the Fukushima facility. He and Byrne teamed up to record the single Psychedelic Afternoon to aid tsunami survivors.
His solo work continued to explore a huge variety of styles. In 1982 he had ventured into medieval and Renaissance music on the album The End of Asia, a collaboration with the Japanese early music group Danceries. Smoochy (1995) was a detour into easy listening, while Discord (1998) comprised an hour-long orchestral composition.
The album 1996 was a selection of Sakamoto pieces arranged for piano trio featuring the Brazilian cellist Jaques Morelenbaum, and Sakomoto reunited with him and his wife, Paula, a singer, for two albums in celebration of the bossa nova composer Antônio Carlos Jobim, Casa (2001) and A Day in New York (2003). In 1999, his multimedia opera, Life, was performed in Tokyo and Osaka.
Meanwhile, he struck up a fruitful collaboration with Alva Noto (a pseudonym of Carston Nicolai), which resulted in a string of electronica albums including Vrioon (2002) and Insen (2005), culminating in Glass (2018). With the Austrian guitarist and composer Christian Fennesz he recorded Sala Santa Cecilia (2005), Cendre (2007) and Flumina (2011).
In 2014 he was diagnosed with throat cancer, but by the following year was feeling “much much better”. His recovery from illness inspired the creation of his last solo album, Async, hailed as one of 2017’s finest forays into experimental electronica. Its making was documented by Stephen Nomura Schible in the film Coda (2018).
His final album, 12, was recorded during hospital stays in 2021 and 2022, and released in January. In December, he livestreamed a solo piano concert from Tokyo.
Sakamoto was first married to Natsuko, then to the musician Akiko Yano; both marriages ended in divorce. He is survived by his third wife and manager, Norika Sora, and their two children; and a daughter from his first marriage and another daughter from his second.

By Dawn’s First Light I’ll Come Back To Your Room Again
In his book, ‘Paul McCartney The Lyrics’, he’s possibly most coy when discussing ‘I’m Carrying’. He mentions a few theories, none of which seem to be reflected in the lyrics, but leaves the meaning open. As is his right. Fun to leave things a bit enigmatic sometimes.
Author, PR and Beatles Liverpool buddy Billy Harry is more definitive in his book ‘The Paul McCartney Encyclopedia’ when he says that the track was “inspired by a former girlfriend of Paul’s”.
If true, there’s more than a few candidates from the 60s. I’ve seen Maggie McGivern suggested. Could be, who knows.
Or…does that line “by dawn’s first light I’ll come back to your room again”, evoke Paul and Jane’s time living with Jane’s family at 57 Wimpole Street, London?
A tall building, Paul had a room at the top, next door to Peter Asher. Jane and her sister Clare had rooms on the floor below.
In her novel, ‘Losing It’, Jane possibly gives away how things worked for Paul and herself when living under her parents’ roof. A character describes how her boyfriend used to stay at her parents’ house:
In her book ‘Fly Away Paul’, Lesley-Ann Jones. discusses ‘I’m Carrying’. This author had previously started work on what was to be a ghost-written autobiography of Linda but it was nixed (Lesley-Ann thinks Paul vetoed it). Anyway, talking about ‘I’m Carrying” she says:
“No, Paul said, he didn’t write it for Linda. He is supposed to have written it about a lover from another life. Jane Asher? Did he still think about her? Were there still thoughts and regrets unresolved?
”He writes about what he writes about”, shrugged Linda when I asked her. He’s got to have levels inside him where I don’t fit, just as I have where he doesn’t. None of us can deny our past. That would be stupid. We certainly never set out to.”
Elsewhere in his lyrics book, Paul recounts this incident:
“Many years later, long after we had lived together in St John’s Wood, I ran into her when I was going to a doctor on Wimpole Street. I’d been walking down the street from Marylebone, and I passed the house and thought, “Wow, great memories there”. Then I went further down the street to where my doctor was, and I was just pressing the bell when I sensed someone behind me. I turned around, and it was Jane. I said, ‘Oh my God. I was just thinking about you and the house.’ That was the last time I saw her, but the memories don’t fade.”

In Love
[A brief collection of them saying those two words, in specific, in reference to their relationship]
Meeting Paul was just like two people meeting. Not falling in love or anything. Just us.
— John Lennon, in The Beatles by Hunter Davies (1968).
-
John’s in love with Yoko, and he’s no longer in love with the other three of us. And let’s face it, we were in love with the Beatles as much as anyone.
— Paul McCartney, interview w/ Ray Connolly, Evening Standard: Paul on ‘Why the Beatles broke up’. (April 21st, 1970)
-
JOHN: The early stuff – the Hard Day’s Night period, I call it – the early period, was the early equi– se– what I’m – what I’m equating it to is the sexual equivalent of the beginning of a relationship, of people in love.
-
It’s just like divorce. It’s that you were so close and so in love that if anyone decides to start talking dirty – great, then Pandora’s box is open. That’s what happened with us.
— Paul McCartney, interview w/ Anthony DeCurtis for Rolling Stone: The Paul McCartney interview. (November 5th, 1987)
-
Also, I’m sure Brian was in love with John. We were all in love with John, but Brian was gay so that added an edge.
— Paul McCartney, in The Beatles Anthology (2000).
-
Well, I’m sure Brian was in love with John, I’m sure that’s absolutely right. I mean, everyone was in love with John; John was lovable, John was a very lovable guy.
— Paul McCartney, in Linda McCartney: A Portrait by Danny Fields (2000).
-
It was written for John, to John. It was like a letter. With the business pressures of the Beatles breaking up it’s like a marriage. One minute you’re in love, the next minute you hate each other’s guts.
— Paul McCartney, in Bill Harry’s The Paul McCartney Encyclopedia (2002).

The Most Amazing thing about Nature: the Arctic Tern
There are so many amazing things about nature, so it was very difficult to settle on just one topic. As a wildlife biologist, I know a lot of cool animal facts and characteristics. How does one pick between a venomous mammal and bullet-resistant armadillos? Or the various ways reptiles survive freezing temperatures, such as having antifreeze in their blood like painted turtles or drying out their organs and freezing 60% of their bodies like wood frogs?
There are so many fascinating behavioural and biological adaptations to sort through that I could travel to the ends of the earth and still not find the most amazing one.
“To the ends of the earth.”
Wait a second; that might just be it! The story of a tiny little bird who spends its life doing just that: the Arctic tern!
Image credits: Barni1 (2015).
The Arctic tern is a small seabird known for its incredibly long yearly migration that takes them, literally, to both ends of the earth. Each year, during this migration, they will travel over 40,000km, making theirs’ one of the longest migrations of any animal on earth (Ramroop & West, 2022).
Distribution range and migration routes of the Arctic Tern (nesting region in red):
Picture by Andreas Trepte (n.d.)
How do they do it? Arctic terns have unique adaptations that allow them to be incredible migrators. Their wing shape and lightweight bodies enable them to glide great distances carried by the ocean breeze without expelling much energy (Ramroop & West, 2022). Additionally, they can eat and even sleep while gliding in the air (Ramroop & West, 2022).
Image credits: Canadian-Nature-Visions (2022)
Now, you may wonder why this bird, which weighs slightly less than a quarter-pound burger, is willing to travel such miraculous distances each year (Trepte, n.d.). Well, much like the Beatles’ 5th track on their 1964 album, Beatles for Sale, they “… Follow the Sun.”
In doing so, these birds are constantly perusing summer. As you may know, the seasons are caused by Earth’s tilted axis as it revolves around the sun (Mika, n.d.). As a result, Earth’s northern and southern hemispheres are experiencing opposite seasons at any given time of year. During North American winters, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, making it colder and darker in areas north of the equator. At the same time, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, making it warmer and brighter in areas south of the equator. The duration of daylight also changes depending on the season, especially in areas furthest from the equator (Mika, n.d.). During the summer, the Arctic and Antarctic get nearly 24hrs of sunlight. Conversely, in the winter, it is almost entirely dark. There are less noticeable temperature changes between the seasons in these areas than in other regions. Thus, the Arctic tern is not following the summer heat, as we may have envied. But instead, they are following the summer light (Ramroop & West, 2022).
Arctic terns rely on sunlight to illuminate the ground and ocean surface to see their prey (fish and insects) more clearly (Ramroop & West, 2022). By experiencing the ~24 hr-light of the Arctic and Antarctic summers, the Arctic Tern may experience more daylight than any other animal on earth (Ramroop & West, 2022). Their migration also allows them to take advantage of the good weather that accompanies summer, as it is beneficial to their method of flying. Terns rely so much on good weather and sunny conditions that they will fly thousands of miles out of their way to take advantage of the best weather and acquire the best food (Ramroop & West, 2022).
This post just scratches the surface of how amazing this tiny explorer is. The Arctic tern undoubtedly exemplifies one of nature's most impressive feats.

I know why Paul says he chose Wings as his band's name.
But I have a different theory.
Beetles have wings, but they are covered by an outer shell.
I know this because I Googled it. But Google didn't exist, and to look that up you'd need a book on the topic or an encyclopedia and if it wasn't a topic you were interested in you probably didn't look it up.
So it's very possible Paul thought beetles didn't have wings.
So since Paul was no longer a Beatle, he had Wings.
