The Beatles To-do: You can HELP!:

I had heard that this song is more of a tribute by Paul McCartney to his father, and hearkens back to the big-band era of the 20's, but the person who wrote this claims it's about a couple growing old together or whatever. Who's right?

I'm pretty sure its for his father- read it in a number of places

  • Myabe both. According to this article it was written before the beatles were famous, but in a interview at the time of "sgt pepper" came out McCartney himself said he wrote it about him and Linda and how he hoped she would take care of him when he was 64. So, thought he may have written it long before he met her, i don't doubt that the origanal version was probably very diffrent to the final cut. 64.12.116.68 18:22, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Actually, McCartney only met Eastman a couple weeks before the Sgt Pepper's launch party. So this is unlikely. JaymzSpyhunter 00:29, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
