:07:37
I had no idea about doing music
as a way of life...
:07:41
until the rock 'n'roll hit me.
:07:43
Then when rock 'n'roll hit me
that changed my whole life.
:07:46
You know,
you went to see those movies...
:07:47
with Elvis or somebody in it,
when we were still in Liverpool.
:07:50
And you'd see everybody waiting
to see him. And I'd be waiting there, too.
:07:54
And they'd all scream
when he came on the screen.
:07:56
So I thought, "That's a good job."
:08:00
He was rough, ready...
:08:02
and not my type at all. To start off with.
:08:07
But again, this enigmatic character...
:08:10
you couldn't resist.
:08:13
He was like a Teddy boy.
He walked around without his glasses...
:08:17
a guitar over his shoulder...
:08:20
and a look that said, "Kill."
:08:26
Paul met me the first day I did
Be Bop a Lula live onstage.
:08:30
A mutual friend brought him to see
my group, called The Quarry Men.
:08:35
And we met and we talked after the show.
:08:37
And I saw he had talent.
He was playing guitar backstage...
:08:40
doing Twenty-Flight Rock,
by Eddie Cochran.
:08:42
And I turned around to him right
then on first meeting and said:
:08:45
"Do you want to join the group?"
And I think he said "yes" the next day.
:08:49
Now George came through Paul...
:08:51
but the person I actually picked
as my partner was Paul.
