Do you think Paul was possibly ( and maybe subconsciously) trying to make a Lennon-esque remark when he said ‘drag, isn’t it’ after John was killed?
Sorry I know this comment has been talked about a million times and I don’t have any issue with what Paul said. He was obviously very shaken by the news and it’s the most uneasy I’ve ever seen him getting interviewed. I don’t get when people have a go at him for how he reacted.
I also know Paul has talked about it many times and said he meant it was a drag in the biggest sense of the worse. But tbh the way he says it just seems more casual like he was trying to make a joke/sarcastic remark to me. Which is totally fine - people deal with traumatic events in different ways and often with dark humour.
But I was just thinking it sounds more like something I could imagine John saying in such a situation, do any of you also see this?
Maybe im just looking into it too much but I would imagine Paul was just think about John that entire day, maybe listening to John’s music and subconsciously he said that as a sort of nod to John.
Do you think Im crackers or there could be any truth to it?
