What did Paul say to Liverpool students?

[jerriwillmore]

I read on the 60 as-if board Paul got "grumpy" while addressing the students at a college he funded. What exactly did he say

[revolver]

I think he said, "Of course I'm not dead. I'm standing right in front of you!"

Then he said "I'd like to accept this award on behalf of John, Paul, George and Ringo. Did I just say that out loud?"

[JoJo]

Didn't he say something similar at a Grammy award?

Are you sure you're not thingking of the Chris Farley interview on SNL?

[JoJo]

The Chris Farley interview went something like Chris saying: You're not dead though, right? (he shakes head)

But I remember him saying I'd like to accept this award on behalf of...(names all four Beatles) I don't remember the "did i say this out loud part". This was at the grammies, or was it the oscars..? However, my question is, did a similar thing happen again?

[FlamingPie]

I think he said something like "I'd like to thank John, Paul, George and Ringo for this award".

Yeah, that's what I was jokingly referring to. His Freudian slip was showing. I have no idea what he actually said to the Liverpool students.

I thought it was like:

"And, on behalf of John, Paul, Ringo, and George, I'd like to accept this award....."

It's the inclusion of "Paul" in the assertion of "accepting on behalf of"
that seems curious. One might expect him to have said;" And for myself, and the behalf of the other three Beatles John George and Ringo, I accept", or even: "I gladly accept this award for all four of us....."..Its a thing about self-inclusion that we expect to hear someone say.

He could have been being humble about his own inclusion, and put himself in the third person as a way of honoring the whole group. He could have putting poetic distance between their solo careers and their perception as a group entity of long ago.

Or, he could have just got twisted up on the words. Or maybe, he was telling it like it is.

Freud would have analysed it all through the knowledge of the id, the ego, the superego, and the deep subconcious. He would have babbled something about Oedipus and had he had an eye exam lately. Jung would have delved into archetypes and role play; asking "Is a "Beatle" a role model, permeating to the deepest levels, or merely a general archetype?". Dr. Art Ulene would urge him to relax in a hot tub with the wife, and injest some animal protein as soon as possible. Dr. Joyce Brothers would have probed into inner conflicts in a folksy, pop media sort of way. Dr. Laura would have called him an idiot, told him to get a life, and then asked him why he felt so guilty about being successful that he would call her up and waste her radio time when she had plenty of truly crazy people to help.

Wayne Dyer would have told him he's still number one; John Bradshaw would have told his "inner child" to swat at the "mobile", and Oprah would have asked him,: "but, Macca, how does it really feel?".

Jenny Jones would have given him a makeover; Jerry Springer would have reunited him with Francis Schwartz (chairs flying everywhere) and Dr. Phil would have told him he really could lose 25 pounds, and then promptly called DEFACS on him. Cause messing up your pronouns on national TV is, apparently, one of the 25 signs of someone being a cereal killer. DSM-IV 2003. Read it.

I won't hazard a guess about Dr. Ruth Westheimer. We all know where she tends to go in her evaluations. She always just has to say the word, "penis", and then by reflex I gag and reach for the remote control and watch the "Weather Channel" until I can forget.

Oog.

Why'd I have to remember that.


Where's the remote?

Thank God for the "Weather Channel."

Darling, you're watching too much daytime TV.
But.....perfect post as usual, esp. the "cereal killer."

Jerri, remember to take any account given by "60as-if "with a HUGE grain of salt.

There was a lot of hubbub over there once about the "Live From the Cavern Club" DVD, saying someone in the audience kept yelling things at Paul, "obviously having met the real Paul many years before"; things like "you don't remember me, do you?" -- and that Paul was visibly uncomfortable, yadda yadda; they don't know why it wasn't excised from the footage before the release...we (my husband and I) immediately got a copy and watched it.

The "heckler" was a relative of Paul's, just busting his chops for fun. There's an interview segment about it on the DVD "extras".

The "60as-if" version of the events was highly dramatized.

(Surprise! )

I meant the college in Liverpool, I hoped some of you remembered, will keep looking.

Jerri, I found your M4E post about the event. I posted a link to it here: invanddis.proboards29.com/index.cgi?board=TAR&action=display&thread=1098229464
