Uddrag

Paul McCartney's perspective

One of the main purposes of the article is to bring Paul McCartney closer to the public. To do so, the writer presents Paul McCartney's perspective on some events. The excerpt below shows his perspective on his dressing room. Through his language, he seems a rather simple man with, more or less, the same dilemmas as an average person: "Palacious? Palatial! Fuck it, I like 'palacious'. Come on! It was a long plane journey." (ll. 339-341)
