There are many references in Paul McCartney‘s “Let ‘Em In,” some more conscious than others. Paul often said that things subconsciously inspired him. Only later did he realize where certain ideas came from.

In his book, The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present, Paul said he thinks his and Wings’ song “Let ‘Em In” is a “stocking filler.” That’s how he thinks of some of his songs. “It’s a fun little item, but it’s not your main Christmas present,” he wrote.
Paul said he can get perfectionist about things and think, “This is just not one of my grand pieces.” Then, he’ll get a “bit down” on those songs. For instance, he remembers being very down about his song “Bip Bop.”
Paul used to think, “Oh God, how banal can you get?” He...

Since early January, several of Donald Trump’s close advisers, including some of his own lawyers, have met with the former president to deliver him the same stark warning. In at least three meetings this year, according to two sources familiar with the matter, legal and political counselors to Trump have urged him to dump Evan Corcoran, one of the ex-president’s top attorneys in the federal probe into Trump’s handling of classified documents.
Some of the former president’s lawyers have explicitly told Trump that, based on information they have privately reviewed,...

Paul McCartney believed in The Beatles surviving a rough 1969, but things obviously didn’t work out. The band broke up in 1970. He eventually felt optimistic following The Beatles’ split, but one of his Abbey Road songs seems to be miles away from that. He once said he didn’t write “You Never Give Me Your Money” about his Beatles bandmates, but it’s almost impossible to believe Paul was telling the truth.

The Beatles fought about money as much as they argued about artistic differences toward the end of their run. The turmoil of the late 1960s and 1970 was the culmination of years of stress. John Lennon saw The Beatles’ end coming when manager Brian Epstein died in 1967.

The way The Beatles broke up seemed to make a reunion impossible. John Lennon once said he and Paul McCartney were so good they could have been The Beatles without George Harrison and Ringo Starr. That seems doubtful even though Paul and John wrote most of the songs. Still, John and Paul’s tattered relationship as the Fab Four fractured made regrouping next to impossible. Paul signed a contract that proved he believed a Beatles reunion might happen, but the closest they ever came to getting back together was a Ringo solo album.

The Beatles did not end well. John Lennon once asserted he and Paul McCartney could power the band without George Harrison and Ringo Starr. Yet the deep divisions in their personal relationship are part of what drove the band apart. The band was still together and active in March 1969 when Paul married Linda Eastman, but their wedding showed how far apart The Beatles had grown in four years.

When Ringo became the second Beatle to tie the knot in February 1965, it was a big celebration. That one day was a snapshot of how good The Beatles’ relationships were at the time.

Former Vice President Mike Pence has been subpoenaed by the special counsel tasked with the investigations of former President Donald Trump.
ABC News first reported on the subpoena, and its reporting was confirmed by multiple news outlets.
Special Counsel Jack Smith, appointed in November, is investigating whether Trump or his associates mishandled classified documents and then engaged in obstruction as the government sought their return. Smith also is investigating the efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
As was seen during the January 6th Committee hearings, Pence resisted Trump’s pressure to block the certification of electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2021, as he concluded that the vice president did not have the authority to do so. Pence did not testify before the committee, but his associates did. Pence did write about the events in his book published last year.
Pence is a potential candidate for president in 2024.
At its final hearing in December,...

In his run for Pennsylvania’s open U.S. Senate seat, Mehmet “Dr.” Oz has tried to convince voters that — despite his close ties to Donald Trump — he’s moderate enough to represent their battleground state. Most notably, while the former president falsely insists the 2020 election was stolen, Oz has at times recognized its legitimacy.
Oz’s tact is a departure from the state’s other high-profile Republican, Doug Mastriano, who’s running for governor with a rapturous embrace of Trump’s election lies. But it’s Oz’s approach...

Yet another damning report about Ginni Thomas’ efforts to overturn the 2020 election results has emerged.
It turns out that Thomas, who just so happens to be married to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, didn’t just contact two Arizona Republican legislators about rejecting electors for Joe Biden in the state he won, as The Washington Post reported last month. The actual number, the Post reported on Friday, was 29.
On Nov. 9, two days after the race was called, Thomas used an online platform called FreeRoots to search for and send identical...
