Plus he refused to contemplate a reunion: “I’m not going to be blackmailed into going back,” he said. He was married to the lovely Linda who, like Yoko Ono, was cast as a malevolent force by those who refused to accept the 60s were over. He was widely considered to be the villain of the piece in The Beatles’ dissolution, since he took the group to the London High Court to end their partnership, and won. McCartney’s sense of vindication that hot summer night is justified when you consider the charge sheet against him.
