Paul McCartney's mother forbade him from listening to The Beatles when he was growing up. "It wouldn't make sense," she'd say. "It doesn't make any sense.."

She's making me feel like I've never been born.

🤣

this made me laugh harder than it should have. and for no good reason, as i'm certain this fact is true.

Lookin through a glass onion, ma!

That's why he wrote Live and Let Die about her. His mama (Cass McCartney) choked on a ham sandwich right in front of him and he just ran right out the door and joined the Beatles (he lied about his age to the recruiter, who was actually the first Paul McCartney [dead Paul]).

if i catch my kid listening to the beatles i’ll sit him down with all of george’s solo and traveling wilburys work. “this is what happens to kids who listen to too much beatles” i’ll say. when he’s older he’ll ask “papa, why didn’t you tell me about wings? beatles don’t have to turn out like george!

He'd put on "Love Me Do" and his mom would just shake her head like something was deeply disturbing her about the whole idea. That was Paul's mom for you though!
