The new documentary film Man on the Run, available this weekend with a Prime Video subscription, focuses on Paul McCartney’s time with Wings, the band he formed after leaving the Beatles. Of course, you can’t talk about the post-Beatles time without discussing the actual end of the Beatles, and to say it was acrimonious is underselling it quite a bit.
Following the end of The Beatles, Paul McCartney ended up suing his former band members, as well as Allen Klein, who had taken over as business manager for the band following the untimely death of Brian Epstein. In the new documentary (via Page Six), McCartney addresses his decision to sue, as well as the fallout, which included John Lennon recording the song “How Do You Sleep?” which took a shot at McCartney’s contributions to their former band, claiming the song “Yesterday” was all he ever did.
