E299: "Defending: It's A Drag"

Andy and Tom originally recorded this shortly after watching the Man On The Run documentary back in February, as it sparked some really interesting conversation among fans. One topic that has always fascinated us is Paul’s infamous “It’s A Drag” comment regarding the tragic death of John Lennon — a quote that, in our opinion, has been widely misunderstood for decades. After seeing the documentary, and especially hearing Sean Lennon’s thoughtful understanding of the moment, we felt it was worth revisiting the subject in a deeper way. Add in the differences between British and American colloquialisms, and it’s easy to see how Paul’s words were interpreted very differently than intended. Either way… you knew we were going to defend our guy here.  Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
