Paul on Beatlemania
Speaking on the period between the release of Revolver and the release of Sgt. Pepper:
“We were fed up with being the Beatles. We really hated that fucking four little mop-top approach. We were not boys, we were men. It was all gone, all that boy shit, all that screaming, we didn’t want any more, plus, we’d now got turned on to pot and thought of ourselves as artists rather than just performers.”
