Paul McCartney
A four page autograph letter, signed, 7 Cavendish Ave, London, N.W.8 [n.d. but circa 1967 ] to John Dexter telling him This is a very awkward letter to write, because I want to explain honestly why somebody else should do the music for 'As You Like It'....I don't like the play, or Shakespeare, enough to do something good...I do feel a bit of a c*** not having said this before, but I think I'm right. I would love to write music for a play that I'm not so far removed from, because then it would be instinctive...I think I would be stupid to do music I didn't mean, and I haven't got enough love for Shakespeare to be able to do it naturally. I'm sure the result would be forced, and therefore be bad for everyone concerned...Yours apologetically. Paul
