If I've said no more than twice, published cease-and-desists on the premise that y'all were avidly reading my blog, then begun a police investigation, then it's over. As I say, the challenge is to become the Stones to my Beatles. - As many a songwriter has discovered, some of my songs are worth more than a script. Nevertheless, the script is the container that amplifies their overall value. Nobody buys records anymore, particularly of alternative music. In the 1960's I'd have been mainstream, but now I'm niche. In the past, it was The Dakumentary that amplified their value, which may have led to confusion over whether it was me or the songs that were valuable. The answer is clear: it was the songs. It helps that people relate to me, but the songs work across the planet. - McCartney, McGlashan/Sinclair and Jackson/Walsh like my 2030 Shipwrecked story. Sorta suggests that I should make that film, not the one for people who think I'm a freak.

Disney aren't going to buy my script. They're only being polite because this is the first one Paul said was any good.

They also want me to act in Merrily and give them rights to make a Tupaia film. They're just behaving like an old studio. -


They'll pretend to read it, but there'll be a 'must play Paul' clause.

Apple is just saying write it, hence why I'm telling them to cut out the studio.

Say 'this is the only script we're offering and we'll stream it ourselves if it's too R18'
