Welcome to Nothing is Real, a podcast about the Beatles.

Everybody thinks they know the Beatles, but how much do we really know?

My name is Jason Carty.

My name is Stephen Cockroft.

And we are live on tape from Dublin and Belfast.

Now, we all know that Paul McCartney loves a big ballad, and I love her yesterday, here

there and everywhere.

We also know Paul McCartney loves to rock out.

I saw her standing there, long tall Sally, elder scatter, so many to choose from.

But in 1987, when speaking to Mark Lewison, who has been on this podcast,

he made the oldest callers firmly to the mast when he said, you know my name, look up the number,

is probably my favourite Beatles track, just because it's so insane, all the memories. Of course,

we could blame this on the dynamite weed, but what was Paul thinking in 1987? Is it possible,

Stephen, that Paul is right?

This is the best Beatles song?

This is the best Beatles song.

Paul and I agree on this.

Thank you for listening to nothing is real.

It's, it's, I, I, I, I, I, that Lewis and book, and particularly that interview was a gateway for me into the Beatles and I read that interview in that book before I had 90% of the Beatles records and when he said that about that song I was like I've never heard of that song I don't know what that song is I really really need to find out what this sounds like.

This was you I was thinking of when I read that.

I thought, what did the young Jason Carty think?

Oh my God, this must be.
