July 31st?, 1967: Paul addresses his recent widely-publicised admission to taking LSD.

PAUL: Yeah, you see, this is the danger of anyone like me ever opening my mouth. I can say a thing and you can come back at me and say, “Look, you shouldn’t have said you’ve had sex, Paul, because it’s going to make everyone break out in spots and everyone’s gonna run around having sex.” But if you ask me then I’m going to say, “Yeah, I have” and if you ask me about drugs I’m going to say, “Yeah, I have” ’cause I’m not gonna tell you a lie; it doesn’t do me any good, it doesn’t do you any good. I personally believe it won’t really make people leap around taking drugs, ’cause people are like you and they’re like me, you know – if they want to try it, they’ll try it; if they don’t want to, they won’t.
