Paul McCartney is a great example to the youth of today for so many other reasons, from his tough stance on environmentalism through to the responsible way that he handled the ultra high profile divorce, its just a shame that so many people still fixate on this part of his life! What he does in his personal and private time should remain just that. Personal and Private.

I just stumbled this and it’s full of terrible information, I read along until you sited Geoffrey Giuliano as a source. Everyone knows he is a bottom feeding liar who makes things up to sell his fake biographies as fact.

I don’t know how much time you spent on this but, it’s clear you know nothing about the Beatles much at all. No one interested in facts sites Geoffrey Giuliano. There are other places you posted as fact things which are nothing more than rumor and bullshit.

What a horrible article!!

Geoffrey? Is this you?

Thats actually me, the comment above….

So btw, if you wanted to do a beatles drug reference on a blog your best choice should have been John. I have an interview from rolling stones that states John saying he took a ton of drugs. He said he must have literally gone on a thousand trips.

Picking apart all of their songs…. isn’t going to do anything but ruin their music for other people who are very much against drugs.

Paul McCartney is someone that should be allowed to take drugs lol.
Hey, if you wrote what was considered the best song of the CENTURY (yesterday) people would be defending you. But sorry, you didn’t change people’s lives enough with this article

okay, idk if you realized this…. but With a little help from my friends… was written by John. and Flaming Pie was written about Maureen Cox who was Ringo’s ex wife. She died in 1994. Paul knew her very well.

Lovely Rita was based of a real girl named RITA.

believe it or not, if you don’t pick apart every little tiny piece of their music you might actually enjoy it and forget that they took drugs.

And if people stopped trying to get every glimpse of his life so they can just put him in the papers or put him in websites like this… then maybe the good music would come back to this world. Just honor the man for what he was, an amazing artist who changed people’s lives. He changed mine.

And honestly, if you get the chance to smoke pot with Paul McCartney and instead you write an article about his drug use… your a looser not to take that opportunity.

Come on.

Weed is sooooo not even a big deal. I love Paul and if he wants to toke up I do believe he’s earned the right. I’m 19 years old and I would love to smoke a joint with him.

About the link to Drug Awareness Day speech…is that the right “Mr McCartney?” The person giving the speech describes himself as a minister of the government, and I don’t think he’s ever held such a post… nor would Macca ever deliver such a stupefyingly boring, square speech. Not every Mr McCartney is the one we know and love!

Dear Patricia,

Interesting post. I’ve had a gut feeling that the articles have truth to them. I have experience with both situations in my life.

And I pray for Paul daily…..always have.

Two articles should be read before one condems a drug user. one is “Origins of Addtion – the Adverse Childhood Experience Study” by Dr. Vincent J. Felitti ,which is also in the Permanente Journal. It says all addictionns, from obesity all the way up to heroin arer caused by adversee shilchood experiences.

In “Religion and Psychoative Drugs An Entheogen Chrestomathy.

” the premis is put forth that the reasons why the people go to drugs is because they are looking for God. In the introduction it is written:
Children of a future age
Reading this indignant page
Know that in a former time
A path to God was thought a crime.

However, this particular article does not suggest marijauana being useful for such a purpose.

It is also interesting to note here that tobacco aids schizophrenics, bipolars, post traumatic stress syndrome, panic disorder, depression, ADD, ADHD, Tourette’s syndrome, Alzeimer’s, and Parkinson’s (not to mention sepsis, ulceerative colitis and even asthma.) Many people keep their mental illnesses in check by smoking tobacco.And as for pot, they are finding it useful in bipolars.

Sir Paul’s mother died when he was 14. That’s an adverse childood experience. And he could have, down deep, been looking for God.

I love Paul McCartney- always will. I grew up listening to him. Frankly, I admire how he has been able to function through the years with or without drugs while many musicians have fallen by the way side. I hope one day before I die I can meet him in person and talk about things. Some of what is written here is surprisingly unknown to me. The only real bust I remember was the Japan one. All the others were kept quietly away from the media.

Everybody smokes the green stuff. For those who dont, buy a bag… you will see how it makes you feel, think and react.

These Paul Bashers need to stop because he’s my man and created the greatest, most influential music of the 20th century, so back off please.

And to all the Beatle lovers, dont listen to the critics. Smoke your stuff and enjoy every Beatle’s song you’ve ever heard…

Very well written. I read the whole thing, but I need to correct one of your points. It was Bob Dylan who turned the Beatles onto pot.
I must admit that anyone who doesn’t think that all musicians are deeply involved in drugs -as are all politicians- needs to pull their head out….
LSD was a social engineering drug that our government wanted to use for mind control. Kesey and others helped sneak it into the mainstream and voila! The 60’s. It is a very useful drug for the first few times it is ingested and then it just becomes a bad habit. Cocaine serves no use whatsoever. Alcohol is the worst. Pot is the best. Wait, I can’t remember was it pot…….? It’s all good. The man can be a beast for all I care. His music has healed our souls thus healed the planet.

Leave Mills and Macca to sort it out themselves

Nicely put Sgt Pepper-maybe suggest that to Heather. Oh no, too late. She’s already booked herself on every chat show going in the UK to put her side of the story, as well as selling herself on the US media. I’m no fan of Macca, but I must say he comes out of this with far more dignity.

People shouldn’t be shocked when a star (and Sir Paul is immensley talented) is less than perfect. It’s treated like a shocking revelation tha John Lennon wasn’t a great father to his son Julian.

Is it shocking that Paul hasn’t always shown the best judgement in things he’s done and said? Why do people look to actors and musicians for guidance? Who cares what they think?

ok Kim.. just to put you straight on a few things. as far as Pauls own words goes, he didn’t do just “Recreational” drugs, he OD’d a few times nearly.. from my own experiance, thats a little more than just recreational..
As for Heather Mills, let me guess.. you read The Sun or The Mirror or one of those tabloid tats right?? i suggest you google the exact case that Heather Mills is bringing because she only brought up the subject of drugs with Paul once, and that was in the violent behavior part of the divorce. She’s been vicitmised and plagued by the tabloid media, and she has no privacy because of it. People need to start thinking about what they are told by Auntie Beeb and ITV, and the tabs.. most of the time they are lying their asses off.
Heather Mills did nothing in her life thats been worth the stuff she’s had to put up with, and people like you with your opinions based on lies told by the media are the ones that need to keep your mouths shut and move on.
Look around, its a celeb culture. We’re more into what our fav celeb is doing or has done, rather than our own friends and family. We, as a nation, spend more on tabloid tat and gossip than we do on our own families in a year. Sad isn’t it?? Leave Mills and Macca to sort it out themselves, and lets get on with our own lives and stop worrying about our celebs all the time.

Before i forget.. look at the origins of most of the stories told by the news… Macca isn’t a saint ya know.. he shouldn’t have had that knighthood in the first place..
