Description

Sir Paul McCartney joins Howard Stern in 2013 for an incredible look into the history of the Beatles and his legendary songwriting career. Paul settles the debate on whether "Helter Skelter" was the first heavy metal song, details why the band didn't welcome Yoko Ono into the studio, and recalls the time John Lennon accidentally took acid before recording "Getting Better." Plus, McCartney discusses his life with Wings, hanging out with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and the truth behind the Jimi Hendrix supergroup that never happened.

Great interview with a living legend. I loved it that Sir Paul was also Stephen Colbert’s final guest and that he was SNL’s season 51 final episode musical guest.
