Is Paul McCartney a jerk?
McCartney was on the Oprah show in 1997. She seemed as much in awe of him as any fan. On her next show she talked about what kind of guest he’d been. She said something like: I have a lot of stars on my show, but nobody is bigger than Paul McCartney. Many of the stars are very demanding, wanting special things in their dressing rooms, champagne, wine, etc. Usually my staff handles their requests but I did it myself for Paul. I asked if there was anything special he wanted in his dressing room and he said he’d appreciate some bottled water, if it wasn’t too much trouble.
Then I asked him what he’d like to eat, as we could cater from anywhere in the city. He said he saw a buffet being set up in the back. I told him that was for the staff and camera crew. He asked if it would be OK for him to eat from that. No guest ever asked to dine with the staff before.
