I\u2019m like: \u2018Now what would Charlie say?\u2019 And I wait for the reply.

And we couldn\u2019t keep him away, bless his heart. And hey, if you can get one of the Beatles on your track, you know, you do it.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Paul\u2019s a very amiable cat to play with; we\u2019ve been great friends forever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nKeith also believes that John Lennon and George Harrison &#8211; Paul&#8217;s former bandmates &#8211; were perfectly suited to working with the Stones, despite the supposed rivalry between themselves and the Beatles.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;I don\u2019t think John Lennon would have had much problem fitting into the Stones, or George, if you can imagine that sort of thing happening. We were the same generation, and we all loved the same music. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;When we first heard the Beatles, we were relieved that there was some other band in England on the same track that we were on.
