And I know Paul and Jane have been having troubles for years. On JJane Asher calls it quits with Paul on Simon Dee’s BBC Television Show. And Paul decides to write a Song for Julian called “Hey Jude”. Paul goes up to see Cynthia and Julian sometime in May of 1968, when John was divorcing Cynthia. And Paul would have said in an interview later on that he knew Linda was Woman! And Linda has a daughter Heather which Paul loves kids. Paul asking Linda if she would like to go with him and his group of friends to another bar. Where he stood up and block Linda way from leaving. Kalle, Paul McCartney first met Linda at the Bag O’ Nail on May 15, 1967. Either it’s Paul’s pride or ego or he’s trying to protect the image of his marriage, especially after the Heather Mills debacle. Instead he made a big effort to win Jane back and had affairs with Francie Schwartz and Maggie McGivern before settling with Linda months later. There was nothing to stop Paul reaching out to Linda during this time. A little too coincidental? This was corroborated by others around this time and later by Elvis Costello when he worked with Paul on Flowers in the Dirt (several songs on that album were about unrequited love). And, like Paul said, written on the journey to see Julian where Cynthia said Paul was heartbroken over Jane and had admitted it was all his fault. Firstly, it was written just after Jane Asher left him. No doubt it was inspired by Julian but the lyrics are more about self-reproach. I think it’s just convenient for him for how people want to interpret it. I don’t believe Paul saying it was about Linda one bit.

Paul did try and dodge the meanings of some of his more personal songs.
