Thanks 8749 for the info. I've heard of gypsies of course, but didn't know about the "Romani" name. (Ram on?) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romani_people for anyone who needs more info. Of course he may just like the black and white horses 'cause well.. he likes them, some people like golden retrievers for no particular reason other than it suits them. All the same, there may be other tip-offs, please feel free to continue.

Good points Doc, and I agree about someone attempting to remember something from many years ago.. At this point it would be remembering what someone remembered about something someone remembered about something someone said.. But, in 1969, it was still fresh. It was either Neil or Derek who said in an interview at the time that "Paul took his shoes off because it was hot". (implying he showed up with shoes to begin with)

I'll state the obvious: The song sounds like a recent McCartney composition. (unreleased, far as I know) Or, it was meant to appear that way, who knows.

From the above link: Yeah it is familiar.. "Young pinkies (pinkos?) from Columbia and Harvard". Bernanke graduated from Harvard.

Could be just a "hired hand" situation, you work for Beatles Inc., and as such, anything you do in service of your job is the property of the company. Perhaps you are paid a good salary, even the millions.. That would be incentive enough to keep quiet.
This happens in any big corporation you could name, "big software company" employee creates amazing new program.. Is it his? Absolutely not, he gives up all rights by previous agreement when he is employed.

Yeah it's a ghost of its former self. Used to be I could find threads just based on the file name of a pic I posted, ('cause I'd always remember that) but not anymore. I suspect those searches cost Proboards CPU cycles, and they decided to make it as useless as possible.. Sucks for a board with a lot of stuff to search, such as this one.

It looks like one of those pictures taken by PI. Sorry but, who's PI. Private investigator.

Actually, it's a common practice to include an outrageous demand just to see if they're paying attention to your more reasonable requests. The tree thing would be just that; an easy way of telling if they actually read over the contract. Heard Van Halen does that. Probably a lot of what LB/SZ said as well, his "people" have added an item here and there over time, and it just grew. This would be possible for example at a venue like Madison Square Garden, but I guess he must have had to slum it a bit when he played at that record store.

From The Smoking Gun: www.thesmokinggun.com/backstagetour/mccartney/mccartney1.htmlPaul McCartney is "very fond of flowers," won't travel in a stretch limousine with leather seats, and will not stand for backstage furniture made of any animal skin or print (even if it's of the artificial variety). Those are just a few of the unique provisions contained in the ex-Beatle's concert rider for his 2002 World Tour, excerpts from which you'll find below. McCartney also provides promoters with an amusing list of plant demands, one that concludes with this underlined admonition: "No trees please! We want plants that are just as full on the bottom as the top such as palm, bamboo, peace lilies, etc. No tree trunks!" And, of course, the rider requires a pre-show sweep by some bomb-sniffing dogs and it contains the expected vegan salvo: "There will be no meat, or meat by-products allowed to be served in the dressing rooms, production offices, or areas within the 'backstage area.'" But it turns out Paul's backstage demand for 24 bars of Ivory Soap is a major vegan no-no, since the 99.44% pure soap actually contains animal fats, according to Ivory¹s web site. So, while Paul won't sit on leather, the Liverpudlian is apparently lathering with beef tallow. (12 pages) I dunno, it's not fair to categorize this as the demands of a total pain in the ass without knowing what is typical for other performers, but wow.. The way it's so specific, right down to the right color for the folding chairs.

Don't know if this was ever discussed here, but it's true, and I will source: The Paul McCartney Encyclopedia, by Bill Harry, p136: February 12: Paul books into the Morgan Studios using the alias Billy Martin to continue with the recording of his solo album, which he began working on at the end of 1969.He was thinking ahead regarding the solo work a bit earlier, from a site which cites Bill Harry material: www.wingspan.ru/bookseng/encyclopedia/m.htmlMPL Communications
An abbreviation of McCartney Productions Limited. Paul had originally formed a company called Adagrove Limited on 12 February 1969, which was then changed to McCartney Productions. On Wednesday 7 April 1976 McCartney Productions changed its name to MPL Communications Ltd.

Evidently George knew Jon Lovitz. Lol, does look like him. I've seen pics of the late '66 India trip where George looked like this, so I'd say it's pretty likely.
