00:01Sir Paul McCartney has said songs like The Beatles' Hey Jude can bring audiences together
00:05across political divides. Speaking on The Rest Is Entertainment podcast, he said the effect is
00:11especially clear in large live crowds. He also said he refuses to pose for photographs with fans,
00:17saying he doesn't want to feel like a monkey. He made the comments while discussing his career
00:22and his upcoming solo album due later this month. He said Liverpool's humour and his working-class
00:28family helped shape The Beatles' attitude and success. He spoke of musical influence when he was
00:34young, saying that his dad played the piano at home. I do think the character of Liverpool
00:40is a very very strong one, he said.
