Paul McCartney issued a tongue-in-cheek response following his arrest in Japan back in 1980.
The superstar Beatle was arrested in Japan in 1980 for possession of cannabis. After arriving in Tokyo, authorities found 219 grams of the controlled substance in Paul's suitcase.
The penalty for possession in Japan was much harsher than in the USA at the time, seven years of hard labour. However, McCartney was deported after spending ten days in a Japanese jail, he believes his 'celebrity' helped him get away so leniently.
