[…] The picture of John Lennon was lying on the floor when some clumsy fool stood on it," Mr Findlay said. "The glass smashed, leaving a scar on John's face."

"John was a big softy, but his shield was hard. So that was very good for the two of us. Opposites attract. I could calm him down, and he could fire me up. We could see things in each other that the other needed to be complete."

—Paul (The Lyrics, 2021)
