Paul McCartney says he would’ve liked to give Yoko Ono a quick “hello, goodbye” when she showed up to the recording studio.
On the latest episode of the “McCartney: A Life in Lyrics” podcast released last week, McCartney confirmed what most fans have long suspected: Ono’s presence during The Beatles’ recording sessions was a workplace “interference.”
McCartney dug into the making of “Let It Be” — The Beatles’ final album in 1970 — during the episode, and spoke candidly about how John Lennon and Ono’s “inseparable” romance only added more tension to his and his bandmates’ already strained relationships with one another.
“So things like Yoko being in the middle, literally in the middle of the recording session, was something you had to deal with,” McCartney said seven minutes into the episode. “And the idea was if John wanted this to happen, then it should happen. There’s no reason why not.”
McCarney’s co-host on the podcast, Paul Muldoon, replied to McCartney’s remark by saying: “Well, except that there is a reason why not. You’re there to do some work.”
“Anything that disturbs us is disturbing,” McCartney quickly interjected.
