He had to say his most beautiful love songs were about, “nobody in particular” or Linda would have had his head for mentioning Jane. Or, more likely, he was sensitive to Linda’s feelings, which he learned from Jane. Out of respect for your current love, don’t talk about your exes.

I do too, I really liked her, still do. She is a class act.

My wife, Isabella Asher, is a cousin of Jane.

Jesus, I was wondering when somebody was gonna bring up him being replaced!!! So when did Jane say he was like a different man? After the change was suppose to take place? And I always wondered how the hell he was so much taller then her in the end then in the beginning! Christ he would have needed the shoes the guys in KISS Wore to be that much higher!!!!

Not sure what you’re on about here, Sarah. I think you have missed the point of aerialkate’s post.

I don’t. He would have made her life a misery.

Wanted? He had met Linda a few times already while he was still with Jane Asher. At no time did he seem prepared to give her up for Linda, or any other woman for that matter.
I suspect that when he was actually with Asher all other women were out of sight, out of mind.

It’s not about any fantasies between Jane and Paul. Jane Asher refuses to talk about her five year relationship with Paul McCartney and she is absolutely right. Instead, it’s about recognising her personal place within the Beatles’ inner circle which can’t be divorced that easily from the music. And without her input there will always be a big hole in the Beatles history. It seems that Paul is more than happy to attribute his negative songs to her (For no one, You won’t see me etc.) but describes his most beautiful love songs, with their powerful imagery, as being written about “nobody in particular”. What a complete sham. Here’s a man who likes to think of himself as a serious artist – well if he can’t take his own songs seriously then why on earth should we. His excuses for the failure of his relationship with Jane are pathetic – we didn’t click, it didn’t feel right, she had a boyfriend, ad nauseum. He was nothing but a love cheat and walking out was the best thing she ever did. I always liked Paul best, but at times he is very hard to like. Jane Asher was the most significant female throughout the Beatles era from 1963-1968. Get over it. If Paul had never met her in the first place nobody would give a damn about his wives or any of the other women in his life who have set about telling their tawdry tales.

How do you know? What an extraordinary comment, and very rude towards Jane Asher. From what I’ve read, I’m sure she understood him all too well. Needs? Paul appears to cope quite well thank you without his present wife by his side every minute of the day while on his numerous world tours.

It seems that indeed Linda was probably the love of Paul’s life, however I don’t regard her as being nearly as classy as Jane. From most everything I’ve ever read about Linda pre-Paul, she was indeed a rock band groupie of sorts, and she successfully set her sight on catching Paul. He seemed very happy with her. To each his own, I suppose.

Paul is my favorite musician of all time. (I’ve had a crush on him for over 50 years now, lol.) Having said that, he was definitely no saint himself.

I couldn’t agree more. While not even close to ‘Beatle’ fame, Linda was proven in her own rite as a photographer. That she chose to put that career to the side when they married perhaps fulfilled both their needs – I always saw it as Paul ready to settle down and start a family, and Linda willing to provide the home he wanted. But I found it curious when he dragged her into Wings; obviously she had little music talent but I think it was more of a security-blanket thing for him. And she willingly played along.

The influence on Paul by the Asher family was tremendous; they opened a world of possibilities to him and greatly stretched his mind and musical abilities and curiosity. But for Jane to meet someone when she was 17 and for us to lament that after 5 years it didn’t ‘work out’ (nevermind that they were two young, hard-working professionals in different fields) isn’t realistic. That she did in a few short years find that someone to spend her life with is incredibly fortunate for them both. Some of us go through life and don’t find that someone.

I do think Linda was Paul’s soul-mate. Paul, once he settled in to the married man role, well I think he obviously loved it. When Linda died he filled that emptiness way too soon with Heather; we know how that ended. It appears Nancy and he, marrying after a long friendship, seem better suited.

Jane is soooooo much more than Paul McCartney’s ex. Well done her.

No one understood Paul choosing Linda, a groupie from NYC. No one understood George cheating on Patti Boyd to the point he drove her into Eric Clapton’s arms, another womanizer. And, not one person on this planet understands John choosing Yoko, the biggest gold digger in rock history. Watch your own tendency to suspend logic for rock glamour.

Yes, Jane Asher is the only person alive that could definitively put this whole “Paul died in 1966” thing to rest.

I wish She would!!

Didn’t read every single comment but you have to look at the person’s AGE. When one is in their early 20s, “love” looks a lot different than it does in your 30s and 40s! Or even in your late 20s! Jane might not have been the right woman for him at the time. Perhaps another time? No one will know. But I have to say, Linda was always “in with the band” for a reason (LOL). I don’t blame her for trying to keep an eye on him. As we age our perception and definition of love changes and evolves . That’s all I’ll say about it.

They are not just people….they are celebrities constantly in the public eye…are pursued by press, fans, etc in ways that bring enormous pressures that the average person cannot relate to. But in the end no one really knows except Paul, Jane, Linda…
