Paul McCartney releases his latest album – The Boys Of Dungeon Lane – today (May 29) and the ex-Beatle/greatest living songwriter has given a fascinating, and thoughtful new interview in the Guardian.
The album is steeped in childhood memories of 1940s/50s Liverpool and the interviewer asks Macca about early sounds he remembers from those days. “There are so many,” he says. He remembers infant school, running indoors with his classmates. He recalls living in Speke (a Liverpool suburb) “hanging out on the grass verge of the dual carriageway, with girls, and listening to them chatting, and one of them said, ‘You’ve got great eyelashes!’” There were also family singalongs of Carolina Moon, Red, Red Robin, Bread and Butterflies.
