[Slowhand] Paul on Jimi and that damn out of tune guitar

[Jon Maclean]

Aha, but Eric has contradicted himself on occasion too. In Eric's case, probably much like any of us, it is more likely due to the passing of time. It would be difficult to accurately recall events that occurred 30-40 years ago, even though to many of us as 'students' of his work, they are well known events. In McCartney's case I expect he too would have memory lapses, but to a mild degree he has attempted to re-write history in some instances, no doubt in the hope of being remembered more fondly. Just my opinion of course, but I don't think that is the case with Clapton.

Cheers,
Jon

On a recent flight from Washington DC to London, I had the pleasure of
reading: You Never Give Me Your Money: The Beatles After The Breakup By
Peter Doggett.  In the book Peter Doggett sites a few examples of Paul
McCartney recalling events in entirely different ways and sometimes in
completely contradictory ways to previous stories he had told.
