London’s National Portrait Gallery has recently put a set of photographs taken by Paul McCartney during the early years of The Beatles on display. McCartney had a chat with CBS News about the exhibit and commented on George Harrison living ‘the life’ while talking about the band’s pictures in Miami.
Looking at his former bandmate’s photo with an anonymous woman in a yellow bathing suit, the singer said:
“In that picture, yeah. I don’t think I was trying to protect her identity. I love her bathing costume. [It’s] so great, and you know, there’s George, like I keep saying, living the life. He’s got a drink, which is probably a scotch and coke. He’s got tan, girl in the yellow bikini. For a lad from Liverpool, that was exceptionally wonderful.”
McCartney also shared a bit about another picture of the members wearing terrycloth jackets. He explained:
“The hotel supplied them. You know, you normally get like a robe, but this place – because it was Miami – had these little cool short things and hats. We lived in them for days. Even Brian [Epstein], our manager. We thought they were really cool items of clothing.”
