I wanted to join a band to get girls: McCartney

Beatles legend Paul McCartney opened up to troubled rocker Pete Doherty saying he joined the band just to bed women and earn quick money. He asked Doherty to interview him after he saw the rocker perform on a TV show, reports mirror.co.uk. McCartney said: "The whole thing about getting into a band was to get girls, basically. Money and girls. Probably girls first. So when you are on the road, and there was time for a party, we had a bunch of those." He also rebuffed rumours that Lennon was gay. "What I spotted was completely the opposite. It was just chicks, chicks, chicks," he remarked.
