Giving his opinion of the US in the Sixties on new BBC show How The Brits Rocked America, Paul McCartney, 69, claimed: “We felt it was a little bit backwards.”
Sir Paul will have to do some explaining at home to his New Yorker wife Nancy or keep her out of the room while the show is on.
The couple, who married in October last year in London and spend most of their time in the US, may be forced to deal with a fair few retorts, especially after Sir Paul went on to declare: “They were a little bit in the dark ages so [The Beatles] were very unusual. When we went on The Ed Sullivan Show that was really over the edge.”
