WEBVTT - Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey

0:00:14.824 --> 0:00:15.264
<v Speaker 1>Pushkin.

0:00:20.184 --> 0:00:24.824
<v Speaker 2>We're so sorry, Uncle Louder.

0:00:26.424 --> 0:00:31.824
<v Speaker 3>So we look at Albertbert. Yeah, I actually had an Unclouder.

0:00:32.984 --> 0:00:43.024
<v Speaker 4>We're so sorry, Uncle loud. Unclouds worked with my dad

0:00:43.304 --> 0:00:46.424
<v Speaker 4>in cotton firm. Dad was a salesman.

0:00:46.544 --> 0:00:49.544
<v Speaker 3>Cloud I think was there was something a little higher.

0:00:50.064 --> 0:00:53.344
<v Speaker 4>We certainly had more money, but it was you know,

0:00:53.544 --> 0:00:59.464
<v Speaker 4>our family gatherings were always very great, very friendly, very

0:00:59.584 --> 0:01:03.104
<v Speaker 4>humorous occasions, and they would get pissed.

0:01:03.544 --> 0:01:04.064
<v Speaker 5>A lot of the.

0:01:04.184 --> 0:01:08.424
<v Speaker 4>Uncles were were referred to as piss artists and the

0:01:09.144 --> 0:01:09.544
<v Speaker 4>drink a bit.

0:01:11.224 --> 0:01:14.144
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so sorry, Ocao, that.

0:01:14.184 --> 0:01:20.344
<v Speaker 4>Was standing on the table and recite the Bible shit,

0:01:21.304 --> 0:01:21.584
<v Speaker 4>you know.

0:01:21.824 --> 0:01:25.624
<v Speaker 3>Keep everyone straight in the way of the light.

0:01:44.984 --> 0:01:49.024
<v Speaker 1>And Paul will do. And I've been fortunate to spend

0:01:49.064 --> 0:01:52.704
<v Speaker 1>time with one of the greatest songwriters of our era.

0:01:52.904 --> 0:01:53.744
<v Speaker 3>And will you look at me?

0:01:54.584 --> 0:01:57.744
<v Speaker 5>I'm going up to I'm actually a performer.

0:01:57.864 --> 0:02:01.424
<v Speaker 1>That is sir Paul McCartney. We work together on a

0:02:01.464 --> 0:02:04.024
<v Speaker 1>book looking at the lyrics of more than one hundred

0:02:04.064 --> 0:02:08.384
<v Speaker 1>and fifty of his songs, and we recorded many hours

0:02:08.624 --> 0:02:09.864
<v Speaker 1>of our conversations.

0:02:10.424 --> 0:02:14.144
<v Speaker 5>Actual, I'm a songwriter. My god, well that that crept

0:02:14.224 --> 0:02:14.584
<v Speaker 5>up on me.

0:02:15.064 --> 0:02:20.984
<v Speaker 1>This is McCartney, a life in lyrics, a masterclass, a memoir,

0:02:21.584 --> 0:02:24.784
<v Speaker 1>and an improvised journey with one of the most iconic

0:02:24.944 --> 0:02:31.384
<v Speaker 1>figures in popular music in this episode, Uncle Albert, Admiral Halsey.

0:02:45.264 --> 0:02:50.944
<v Speaker 1>In nineteen sixty three, their manager Brian Epstein, relocated the Beatles'

0:02:51.064 --> 0:02:55.824
<v Speaker 1>base operations to London. By the end of the nineteen sixties,

0:02:55.944 --> 0:03:00.144
<v Speaker 1>when Paul McCartney wrote, Uncle Albert, his old life in

0:03:00.344 --> 0:03:02.784
<v Speaker 1>Liverpool seemed far away.

0:03:03.544 --> 0:03:07.424
<v Speaker 4>I'd moved away from Liverpool quite firmly by this point,

0:03:08.264 --> 0:03:11.944
<v Speaker 4>and I wouldn't see the family anywhere near as regularly

0:03:12.784 --> 0:03:14.184
<v Speaker 4>we might go back up for a.

0:03:14.224 --> 0:03:15.384
<v Speaker 5>New Year's Eve party.

0:03:15.824 --> 0:03:18.064
<v Speaker 4>After I moved to them, I would sometimes throw a

0:03:18.144 --> 0:03:22.624
<v Speaker 4>New Year's party with the idea of reassembling family in

0:03:22.744 --> 0:03:23.584
<v Speaker 4>the good times.

0:03:26.664 --> 0:03:29.024
<v Speaker 6>So there were a lot of jokes, a lot of songs,

0:03:29.584 --> 0:03:34.144
<v Speaker 6>a lot of wit, a lot of play. All my

0:03:34.384 --> 0:03:38.424
<v Speaker 6>uncles I can't think of war wasn't funny. But it

0:03:38.504 --> 0:03:42.624
<v Speaker 6>became less and less as time went on. They became

0:03:42.744 --> 0:03:45.784
<v Speaker 6>less and less. They died, so the older generation, my

0:03:45.904 --> 0:03:48.664
<v Speaker 6>Dad's generation, and they're all gone now.

0:03:49.624 --> 0:03:54.504
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, there was a nostalgic feeling for you know that,

0:03:55.224 --> 0:03:59.464
<v Speaker 4>and also this feeling of I've moved myself so far

0:03:59.624 --> 0:04:04.184
<v Speaker 4>out of what you know, what Uncle Albert knows about

0:04:04.784 --> 0:04:07.584
<v Speaker 4>the cotton exchange, and then getting up on the table

0:04:07.624 --> 0:04:10.184
<v Speaker 4>and getting drunk smoke in his pipe.

0:04:10.904 --> 0:04:15.504
<v Speaker 1>As Paul McCartney left his family behind in Liverpool, he

0:04:15.664 --> 0:04:20.184
<v Speaker 1>was also leaving behind an era of war and poverty

0:04:20.584 --> 0:04:24.184
<v Speaker 1>that framed the decades of his youth, the nineteen forties

0:04:24.584 --> 0:04:25.744
<v Speaker 1>and nineteen fifties.

0:04:26.304 --> 0:04:28.464
<v Speaker 7>This is a part of Liverpool, a city of nearly

0:04:28.504 --> 0:04:30.864
<v Speaker 7>a million inhabitants and one of the biggest ports and

0:04:30.904 --> 0:04:33.984
<v Speaker 7>shipbuilding areas in the world. During the war, it was

0:04:34.024 --> 0:04:36.504
<v Speaker 7>a target for air raids which laid waste whole areas.

0:04:36.784 --> 0:04:40.464
<v Speaker 1>Even though they were surrounded by these bombed out areas,

0:04:40.904 --> 0:04:45.584
<v Speaker 1>the McCartneys weren't directly affected by the war. Paul's father

0:04:46.104 --> 0:04:49.624
<v Speaker 1>worked at a cotton mill and as mother was a nurse.

0:04:50.184 --> 0:04:55.304
<v Speaker 1>It was a striving working class home. But the effects

0:04:55.344 --> 0:04:59.064
<v Speaker 1>of the war were still very much felt in Liverpool,

0:04:59.504 --> 0:05:04.464
<v Speaker 1>a city which throughout the nineteen fifties had rationing protocols

0:05:04.504 --> 0:05:08.624
<v Speaker 1>in place and was littered with bomb sites on Rove

0:05:08.704 --> 0:05:09.584
<v Speaker 1>toward From all.

0:05:09.464 --> 0:05:11.144
<v Speaker 5>Of that, it was just like as if it had

0:05:11.304 --> 0:05:16.464
<v Speaker 5>just gone just because of the circumstances of your life.

0:05:16.544 --> 0:05:20.064
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it had kind of gone mentally and were also physically.

0:05:20.704 --> 0:05:22.584
<v Speaker 4>It was like I was in a film. You'd just

0:05:22.664 --> 0:05:24.544
<v Speaker 4>see that set drift off.

0:05:24.704 --> 0:05:27.544
<v Speaker 7>Now the City Council are rebuilding fast. One of the

0:05:27.584 --> 0:05:30.624
<v Speaker 7>most interesting achievements of the council was to establish, over

0:05:30.664 --> 0:05:33.824
<v Speaker 7>one hundred years ago, public wash houses, where even now,

0:05:34.024 --> 0:05:36.544
<v Speaker 7>thousands of Liverpool housewives bring their weekly wash.

0:05:36.984 --> 0:05:40.704
<v Speaker 1>On top of the physical distance McCartney had put between

0:05:40.824 --> 0:05:45.304
<v Speaker 1>himself and his hometown of Liverpool, he had also taken

0:05:45.424 --> 0:05:49.224
<v Speaker 1>up a lifestyle that was light years removed from his

0:05:49.344 --> 0:05:50.304
<v Speaker 1>humble beginnings.

0:05:50.824 --> 0:05:54.984
<v Speaker 5>We're so sorry, un.

0:05:56.664 --> 0:06:00.864
<v Speaker 4>We're not really saying I'm sorry, but I'm saying you

0:06:00.904 --> 0:06:02.344
<v Speaker 4>wouldn't get where I am now.

0:06:03.464 --> 0:06:07.384
<v Speaker 3>I'm like in the Beatles, I'm like living in a

0:06:07.424 --> 0:06:08.464
<v Speaker 3>big house in London.

0:06:09.824 --> 0:06:11.944
<v Speaker 5>But isn't that also saying I want to be with you.

0:06:13.464 --> 0:06:14.264
<v Speaker 5>I'm so sorry.

0:06:14.584 --> 0:06:18.104
<v Speaker 3>If we course you any pain, there's no one left

0:06:18.104 --> 0:06:18.504
<v Speaker 3>from home.

0:06:18.784 --> 0:06:20.224
<v Speaker 5>But I believe on a round.

0:06:26.824 --> 0:06:28.624
<v Speaker 3>It's just that a distance.

0:06:30.544 --> 0:06:32.584
<v Speaker 5>I'm sorry. I'm not only by that, but you don't

0:06:32.624 --> 0:06:35.984
<v Speaker 5>want that distance. You yourself don't want that distance.

0:06:36.424 --> 0:06:39.984
<v Speaker 3>I don't didn't all you didn't well I didn't.

0:06:40.024 --> 0:06:41.984
<v Speaker 5>That's like saying you don't want anyone to die.

0:06:43.064 --> 0:06:48.184
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's it's an unfortunate reality, that distance it

0:06:48.264 --> 0:06:51.464
<v Speaker 4>must have unless you still live with your moment. Dad,

0:06:54.784 --> 0:06:58.144
<v Speaker 4>I gave you the one and all Bobulous.

0:06:59.704 --> 0:07:04.584
<v Speaker 1>The people's wild popularity meant that Paul was living an

0:07:04.664 --> 0:07:09.344
<v Speaker 1>extravagant life in London. His uncle Albert didn't I actually

0:07:09.504 --> 0:07:14.584
<v Speaker 1>do much calling, but his aunt Jin would occasionally make

0:07:14.664 --> 0:07:16.624
<v Speaker 1>the trip down to check in.

0:07:17.424 --> 0:07:19.584
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you go back into the sort of bosom

0:07:19.664 --> 0:07:22.704
<v Speaker 4>of your family when when your auntie comes to visits and.

0:07:23.504 --> 0:07:25.384
<v Speaker 5>You just do sort of all the old things.

0:07:25.584 --> 0:07:29.064
<v Speaker 4>And so I was just sort of sitting around playing

0:07:29.104 --> 0:07:32.784
<v Speaker 4>a bit of piano, and then in the evening swedes

0:07:32.864 --> 0:07:36.024
<v Speaker 4>Horda sit around, have a drink and play cards and

0:07:36.784 --> 0:07:40.424
<v Speaker 4>just talk and everything, you know. And she originally come down.

0:07:40.504 --> 0:07:43.224
<v Speaker 4>One of the reasons she'd come down was to talk

0:07:43.264 --> 0:07:46.704
<v Speaker 4>to me about the sin of smoking pot. She'd been

0:07:46.824 --> 0:07:49.744
<v Speaker 4>sent down. She was they called it, used to call

0:07:49.824 --> 0:07:54.104
<v Speaker 4>her control. She'd been sitting down as an emissary.

0:07:54.984 --> 0:07:56.824
<v Speaker 3>And who would have sent her on.

0:07:58.704 --> 0:08:03.624
<v Speaker 4>The family family? Who knows which one or how many?

0:08:04.624 --> 0:08:06.544
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, really, I think you know the word

0:08:06.624 --> 0:08:08.664
<v Speaker 4>that just got back that our pole's going a bit

0:08:08.744 --> 0:08:11.864
<v Speaker 4>wild in London, you know, so go and check him out, Jenny.

0:08:15.504 --> 0:08:19.624
<v Speaker 1>In the song, McCartney sings the first verse in a

0:08:19.784 --> 0:08:24.984
<v Speaker 1>tone aligned with his younger, naive self, new to London

0:08:25.304 --> 0:08:29.904
<v Speaker 1>far from home, apologizing for his departure, promising to get

0:08:29.944 --> 0:08:32.744
<v Speaker 1>in touch only if he has something to report.

0:08:34.024 --> 0:08:41.424
<v Speaker 2>We're so sorry when we have name day, We're so sorry.

0:08:43.504 --> 0:08:45.024
<v Speaker 3>Oh cool.

0:08:50.904 --> 0:08:59.224
<v Speaker 4>Me so so, I'm saying I used to hear from

0:08:59.304 --> 0:09:01.664
<v Speaker 4>him a lot, and so now I'm saying we haven't

0:09:01.664 --> 0:09:04.984
<v Speaker 4>heard a thing all day. So sorry, I'm but anything

0:09:05.064 --> 0:09:07.184
<v Speaker 4>should have movie show to get a ring. It's just

0:09:07.304 --> 0:09:11.744
<v Speaker 4>that sort of dismissing thing, you know. Back pap pat

0:09:11.824 --> 0:09:13.544
<v Speaker 4>on my head, will be in touch.

0:09:24.384 --> 0:09:27.464
<v Speaker 1>Neither speaker of the song seems to talk down to

0:09:27.624 --> 0:09:32.984
<v Speaker 1>his relatives, who cannot possibly understand his fabulous new life

0:09:33.184 --> 0:09:33.704
<v Speaker 1>in the city.

0:09:34.224 --> 0:09:36.464
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I just imagine him now as a character.

0:09:37.024 --> 0:09:37.744
<v Speaker 5>There is uncle.

0:09:37.984 --> 0:09:41.064
<v Speaker 4>But we're so sorry, but we haven't done a bloody

0:09:41.144 --> 0:09:44.464
<v Speaker 4>thing all day. And I go into character now and

0:09:44.584 --> 0:09:48.024
<v Speaker 4>I'm now some sort of very arrogant POSHTI.

0:09:49.064 --> 0:09:52.264
<v Speaker 3>Now I'm so sorry, La, I'm doing a bloody thing

0:09:52.344 --> 0:09:55.584
<v Speaker 3>all day. You know, we've got another life here and

0:09:56.344 --> 0:09:59.024
<v Speaker 3>I'm afraid you know, I'm dismissing you.

0:10:00.144 --> 0:10:02.904
<v Speaker 5>So the act, the shift and accent is enough. I'm

0:10:02.944 --> 0:10:04.304
<v Speaker 5>trying to remember and I how you do this?

0:10:04.704 --> 0:10:05.304
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's right.

0:10:23.064 --> 0:10:26.544
<v Speaker 1>By the time Paul McCartney wrote the song Uncle Albert

0:10:26.864 --> 0:10:31.144
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen seventy, even the shine of London had worn off,

0:10:31.824 --> 0:10:37.024
<v Speaker 1>the stodgy business meetings, the decline of the Beatles, fame

0:10:37.304 --> 0:10:42.704
<v Speaker 1>and glamour losing their luster. The band had once carried

0:10:42.864 --> 0:10:48.424
<v Speaker 1>the playful, spontaneous energy of their hometown, but at the

0:10:48.624 --> 0:10:54.024
<v Speaker 1>end of the decade this playfulness had fizzled out. Once again,

0:10:54.744 --> 0:10:57.544
<v Speaker 1>McCartney would have to create a new life.

0:11:09.424 --> 0:11:12.664
<v Speaker 3>So then it goes into hands across the water, across

0:11:12.664 --> 0:11:17.264
<v Speaker 3>the This is more now bringing you, This is more

0:11:17.344 --> 0:11:19.544
<v Speaker 3>Me and Linda, hands.

0:11:19.344 --> 0:11:22.984
<v Speaker 4>Across the water, you know, American and British, Okay, heads

0:11:22.984 --> 0:11:23.584
<v Speaker 4>across the sky.

0:11:24.304 --> 0:11:26.184
<v Speaker 1>I like that in which a lot of hands across

0:11:26.224 --> 0:11:27.704
<v Speaker 1>the water, heads across the sky.

0:11:29.144 --> 0:11:35.024
<v Speaker 4>It's interesting, it works for Anglo American.

0:11:35.264 --> 0:11:44.624
<v Speaker 5>Yeah sort of thing, couldn't.

0:11:46.184 --> 0:11:50.984
<v Speaker 1>As the song shifts into a kind of carellesque nursery rhyme,

0:11:51.544 --> 0:11:56.464
<v Speaker 1>another character enters the scene. This is William Bull Halsey,

0:11:56.944 --> 0:12:00.904
<v Speaker 1>an admiral in the American Navy during the Second World War,

0:12:01.344 --> 0:12:05.304
<v Speaker 1>and who you can tell from interviews, wasn't an especially

0:12:05.584 --> 0:12:07.104
<v Speaker 1>nursery rhyme like character.

0:12:07.464 --> 0:12:10.744
<v Speaker 4>We have not done our playing. We have branded them.

0:12:11.744 --> 0:12:16.184
<v Speaker 4>We have drowned them, and I just planning to brand

0:12:16.304 --> 0:12:17.464
<v Speaker 4>I ad a drowned.

0:12:18.464 --> 0:12:20.344
<v Speaker 5>It does Halsey in any particular?

0:12:20.624 --> 0:12:22.544
<v Speaker 3>Is that a historical I don't know where I got

0:12:22.624 --> 0:12:23.624
<v Speaker 3>any more Halsey from.

0:12:23.784 --> 0:12:28.144
<v Speaker 5>I wasn't just read it or heard it somewhere. And

0:12:28.264 --> 0:12:28.984
<v Speaker 5>then now I'm in.

0:12:29.224 --> 0:12:33.624
<v Speaker 4>I'm in this arrogant upper class person who's got into

0:12:33.744 --> 0:12:35.904
<v Speaker 4>the song and I'm just having fun with it.

0:12:36.864 --> 0:12:40.064
<v Speaker 5>I like that. Yes, he goes, So it's a playlet.

0:12:40.264 --> 0:12:45.264
<v Speaker 4>Basically, it's a little plays elect But I suppose if

0:12:45.344 --> 0:12:47.824
<v Speaker 4>this was a play you could give these lines to

0:12:47.904 --> 0:12:48.784
<v Speaker 4>different characters.

0:12:53.544 --> 0:12:56.304
<v Speaker 3>Before he couldn't get the thing.

0:12:56.624 --> 0:12:59.944
<v Speaker 1>I had another, and I had a couple of the plane.

0:13:04.904 --> 0:13:08.784
<v Speaker 1>Admiral Halsey needs a birth to get to see, but

0:13:09.264 --> 0:13:13.144
<v Speaker 1>the narrator is ignoring him, is too busy having a

0:13:13.224 --> 0:13:15.624
<v Speaker 1>cup of tea and some butter pie.

0:13:19.664 --> 0:13:21.944
<v Speaker 3>The border wouldn't also put it in the pie.

0:13:22.624 --> 0:13:23.104
<v Speaker 5>I like that.

0:13:34.584 --> 0:13:40.304
<v Speaker 1>Amid the bleak negotiations surrounding the Beatles and the impossibility

0:13:40.384 --> 0:13:44.824
<v Speaker 1>of returning home to Liverpool. McCartney found the humor and

0:13:45.144 --> 0:13:49.784
<v Speaker 1>lightheartedness he remembered from his extended family in his new

0:13:49.904 --> 0:13:51.784
<v Speaker 1>wife Linda Eastman.

0:13:57.704 --> 0:14:00.384
<v Speaker 3>But is this little pats you get around? This is

0:14:00.504 --> 0:14:03.824
<v Speaker 3>me and Lenda at that time, and this is sort

0:14:03.864 --> 0:14:04.384
<v Speaker 3>of what we do.

0:14:05.344 --> 0:14:13.744
<v Speaker 5>What did you do? Want to the rigid systems we

0:14:13.904 --> 0:14:14.944
<v Speaker 5>were living in.

0:14:15.744 --> 0:14:23.024
<v Speaker 4>Mine was apple business, alan Cline takeovers all of that,

0:14:23.824 --> 0:14:27.464
<v Speaker 4>and I always I wanted to buy my own Christmas tree.

0:14:28.184 --> 0:14:30.344
<v Speaker 4>I didn't want the office to send a Christmas tree

0:14:30.344 --> 0:14:33.744
<v Speaker 4>around for me. That's a great, great web I did.

0:14:34.104 --> 0:14:37.664
<v Speaker 4>I started actually doing that, or chopping one down in

0:14:37.744 --> 0:14:40.704
<v Speaker 4>the forest in the back of the land rover. It's

0:14:40.744 --> 0:14:43.144
<v Speaker 4>not as strong as a rebel, but we were rebellious

0:14:44.424 --> 0:14:56.424
<v Speaker 4>rebels with a sense of humor that we were doing

0:14:56.704 --> 0:14:58.624
<v Speaker 4>all sorts of things like that. I would involved with

0:14:58.784 --> 0:15:01.704
<v Speaker 4>like the animal activists getting on Christmas tree.

0:15:02.224 --> 0:15:03.784
<v Speaker 5>Then there would be cooking and stuff.

0:15:03.824 --> 0:15:06.784
<v Speaker 4>We got vegetarian and now she's going to figure out

0:15:07.304 --> 0:15:12.544
<v Speaker 4>how we do turkey. So we do a macaroni turkey.

0:15:13.304 --> 0:15:16.184
<v Speaker 4>It's like mac and cheese, but it goes solid and

0:15:16.264 --> 0:15:18.784
<v Speaker 4>then we'd slice it and we'd have that. I saw

0:15:18.784 --> 0:15:19.664
<v Speaker 4>a macaroni tack.

0:15:23.824 --> 0:15:28.184
<v Speaker 1>Paul and Linda managed to cut free and establish not

0:15:28.344 --> 0:15:32.664
<v Speaker 1>only a new family, but a creative partnership. The song

0:15:33.064 --> 0:15:37.904
<v Speaker 1>Uncle Albert, credited to the Husband Wife Jo, was number

0:15:38.024 --> 0:15:54.584
<v Speaker 1>one on the American charts. In their new, more bohemian lifestyle,

0:15:55.264 --> 0:15:59.304
<v Speaker 1>Paul and Linda could also establish the family life they wanted,

0:15:59.824 --> 0:16:04.184
<v Speaker 1>filled with joyous humor and fun. It was perhaps this

0:16:04.664 --> 0:16:09.424
<v Speaker 1>experience raising children on the farm that inspired McCay need

0:16:09.464 --> 0:16:14.064
<v Speaker 1>to write about his extended family back in Liverpool, his

0:16:14.464 --> 0:16:18.944
<v Speaker 1>uncle Albert, who had countered the war with a similar

0:16:19.264 --> 0:16:20.064
<v Speaker 1>sense of humor.

0:16:20.504 --> 0:16:22.304
<v Speaker 3>It was a good up front of me, and I

0:16:22.424 --> 0:16:24.104
<v Speaker 3>thought everyone's families were like that.

0:16:25.024 --> 0:16:28.104
<v Speaker 5>John and here about his family life. He was like,

0:16:28.224 --> 0:16:28.824
<v Speaker 5>oh my god.

0:16:30.584 --> 0:16:30.784
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:16:30.904 --> 0:16:35.104
<v Speaker 5>So I really praised my family for that because it

0:16:35.224 --> 0:16:35.944
<v Speaker 5>was so rich.

0:16:36.984 --> 0:16:40.024
<v Speaker 3>It really was rich. And I think a lot of

0:16:40.104 --> 0:16:41.944
<v Speaker 3>what I am and a lot of what I write

0:16:42.024 --> 0:16:47.304
<v Speaker 3>about a lot of what I think is that, you.

0:16:47.344 --> 0:16:49.784
<v Speaker 4>Know, I often say I've met a lot of very

0:16:51.024 --> 0:16:53.464
<v Speaker 4>amazing influential people in the world.

0:16:54.704 --> 0:17:00.544
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Sacha bark Palm, you know, the one and only

0:17:01.024 --> 0:17:02.984
<v Speaker 1>Sir Paul McCartney, Thank you so much.

0:17:05.064 --> 0:17:09.544
<v Speaker 4>Oh some of my Liverpool family I think was was better.

0:17:11.184 --> 0:17:14.824
<v Speaker 4>We just had something going for them. Besides this niceness

0:17:14.904 --> 0:17:19.224
<v Speaker 4>and besides this good mamics. Sense of humor was ridiculous.

0:17:19.904 --> 0:17:23.304
<v Speaker 4>They were always being funny. And my theory is because

0:17:23.464 --> 0:17:27.384
<v Speaker 4>they just got out of a bloody war. Unlike a

0:17:27.464 --> 0:17:31.104
<v Speaker 4>lot of their friends. They just escaped being bond.

0:17:34.944 --> 0:17:47.224
<v Speaker 6>H with THO.

0:17:47.504 --> 0:17:50.864
<v Speaker 2>Sorry but we had a name.

0:17:52.864 --> 0:17:54.544

0:18:48.944 --> 0:18:49.824
<v Speaker 5>and were.

0:18:51.064 --> 0:18:52.064
