Paul McCartney kicked off a busy week by performing a private show at Apple headquarters, followed by an appearance on the Saturday Night Live season finale to debut his new single, "Days We Left Behind."
The podcast world is currently fixated on his creative process. On Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend, Conan O'Brien marveled at archival footage of the musician building tracks, noting, "When you see that, and you see Paul McCartney sitting with his bass, and he's frustrated 'cause they need a song, and he just starts over and over again, banging." Later, O'Brien clarified that his admiration for the legend is purely conversational, adding, "I don't walk away thinking, 'What the hell was that? He made no music while we spoke.'"
Beyond the music, the industry remains deeply connected to his orbit. Brandi Carlile mentioned on Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard that her wife first made contact with her while she was working for the singer, stating, "We met, actually, she was working for Paul McCartney." Meanwhile, the trivial details of his daily life still capture host attention; on No Such Thing As A Fish, Dan Schreiber noted, "Paul McCartney stands on his head for five minutes every day as well."
