Talk:Personal relationships of Paul McCartney

Silliness
I don't get it. How is it that Paul dated and married these people after he died? --NE2 15:45, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * But he's not dead. I don't get it either, what's the problem? That the page isn't categorized as part of Wikiproject:BLP? Reminds me of Chris Farley asking Paul, "you weren't really dead?".Synchronism (talk) 20:31, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Listen guys, he double married them. Easy, no? Now get a job. :))--andreasegde (talk) 11:49, 7 March 2011 (UTC)--andreasegde (talk) 11:49, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 * He's alive; Paul is dead is a conspiracy theory with no evidence to back it. Jim Michael (talk) 19:38, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Who is Michael?
In the Jim and Mary McCartney section, it says "After Paul and Michael became interested in music..." and there's no information about a Michael.MartinezMD (talk) 17:18, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Relationship with Francie Schwartz
Francie Scwartz did have an extensive relationship with Paul McCartney. She strongly denies that Jane Asher caught Paul in bed with her, and she stated that the McCartney - Asher engagement was already broken off before she became involved with Paul, see http://www.abbeyrd.net/francie.htm. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rrhea2 (talk • contribs) 20:17, 11 December 2019 (UTC)


 * no she doesn't deny that Jane caught them in bed; she confirms it. But she says that the relationship with Asher was already very rocky, and that Asher had already decided to end it, i.e. she denies that Asher finding them in bed was the reason for ending it. Schwartz is an extremely reliable witness, and an excellent historian. 2607:FEA8:129D:E00:681F:7D04:A83C:E819 (talk) 13:14, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree with the poster's assessment of Schwartz; her account of her time in London with Paul/the Beatles is reliable and detailed, and an overlooked personal accounting of a key time period in the band's history (Summer of 1968, recording of the White Album). Per her book, she stayed at ("lived at" may be arguable) Paul's house in St. John's Wood most of the summer, arriving in London early April '68 and departed back to New York after breaking up with McCartney Aug/Sept same year. His relationship with Asher was mostly over by this point, eg. he also had a romantic assignation with Linda Eastman in Los Angeles June '68 (during his Apple promotion visit) that led to her moving in with him in London by end of that year. 146.189.239.239 (talk) 17:38, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Who is Ruth?
In the section "Jim and Mary McCartney" under the part "Songs" is says "and said the lyrics were taken from Ruth McCartney's sheet-music copy of Thomas Dekker's lullaby—also called "Golden Slumbers"—that Ruth had left on the piano at Rembrandt. No where else is Ruth mention.

Also "Songs" starts "Paul wrote "I Lost My Little Girl" just after Mary had died". Mary had not yet been mention so at that point you don't know she is Paul's mother. Beatles777! (talk) 00:59, 11 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Ruth was Paul's stepsister through his father's second marriage. 90.244.205.96 (talk) 12:10, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
