McCartney said: “We liked Elvis’ freedom as a trucker, as a guy in jeans and swivelin’ hips.”
“But [we] didn’t like him with the short haircut in the army calling everyone ‘sir.’”
On Elvis’ post-army songs like Hard-Headed Woman, Paul said: “There’s a dreadful great big trombone right in the middle of it, and we thought, ‘What in hell has happened?’
“It just seemed he’d gone establishment, and his records after that weren’t so good.”
