Video: 'Paul McCartney Interviewed On The Today Show - 12-13 March 1974'‘

(Friday, March 8, 1974) — At his MPL offices in London today, at the end of the current Wings rehearsals, former Beatle Paul McCartney gave a two-part interview to Scott Osbourne for Today on NBC-TV to celebrate the fifth anniversary of his marriage to Linda.

He also talked about writing ‘Eleanor Rigby’ and how he came to write ‘Picasso’s Last Words (Drink To Me)’ for Dustin Hoffman.

Paul is also asked: “Can The Beatles be recreated again?” To which he replies: “They might do bits together again, we don’t know yet. Every time I say that, some paper prints a headline saying ‘The Beatles To Reform’, so I’m a bit cautious about saying anything … I don’t think we’ll get together as a band again, I just don’t think it’ll work actually, it might not be as good. I just saw Jerry Lewis talking the other day about Dean Martin, it’s a little bit like that.”

Clips from ‘My Love’, ‘Maybe I’m Amazed’ and ‘Mary Had A Little Lamb’ accompany the feature.

The interview would be broadcast on March 12 and 13, 1974.
