Howard Stern: What’s on your Iphone, do you have about a billion different little snippets of songs that you hear in your head? Is that how you write now?
Paul McCartney: I have an Iphone full – too full – of little fragments like… So i’m looking, here’s what I’ve got… “piano guitar harmonium”. Next one, “Home Fire”, 5th of november. Next one, “Autumnal”. Next one, “John’s Boots”
Howard Stern: Let’s hear “John’s Boots”, what does that mean?
Paul McCartney: “John’s Boots”, man. [Music]. “What would you do in John’s boots”.
Howard Stern: Are we talking about The John or a different John.
Paul McCartney: Yeah now we’re talking about The John, Johnny.
