Important! New! Dimension! To! The! Origin! Of! "Rigby"!, "Writer"!, "Submarine"! Unearthed!

This just in....

They've just found an essay Paul McCartney wrote when he was AGE TEN that brought special attention upon him - he received a book token from the Lord Mayor of Liverpool for it! I wish to draw very! special attention to a phrase excerpted from that essay in the article about its discovery:

"He then compares that coronation with the new Queen’s by writing that 'no rioting nor killing will take place because present day royalty rules with affection rather than force'”.

In my "Statement of Blog Purpose", which accompanies all of my blogs, I describe something I wrote when I was AGE TEN that brought special attention upon me (in my second blog, "A Few Words About My 'Statement of Blog Purpose'", 8.10.08, I elaborate on this - see below excerpt), with people talking about it!, the teacher hanging it on the wall!!, etc.!!!, partly because it was 15 pages (back then this was the rough equivalent of an adult writing a thousand pages, in the same way that dog years are different from people years - perhaps twittering will return specialness to the idea of a kid writing a bunch of words for one piece).

My big point here is this:
I had come to notice how one of the things the older McCartney handled (reworked without losing the point) in my "Endless Voyage" story was the all-important part where the world governments planned to act "dispassionately" (the exact word I used in the 8.10.08 blog) in sending half the human race to live beneath the sea to resolve the overpopulation problem of what to do with all the people. When he wrote Eleanor Rigby, McCartney turned this into the opposite of dispassionate government power. It was an agonizing over what to do with all the lonely people from someone who had himself quite nearly attained the status of royalty (McCartney). He had transformed my cynical portrayal of dispassionate powers-that-be into.... an expression of the exact idea contained in the essay he wrote at the same age of ten, royalty ruling with "affection" rather than "force". While this was not an unknown concept, powers-that-be having/not having feeling for their people, I had come to see this particular aspect of the handling by McCartney of my idea at ten as significant. Now, today, we see McCartney at ten, and now we see part of the process by which McCartney came to be influenced by this former ten-year old. And no, it is not purely the similarities that led to this conclusion "of mine" regarding the origin of those Beatles songs!!!!!!!

EXCERPT FROM MY 8.10.08 BLOG, "A FEW WORDS ABOUT MY STATEMENT OF BLOG PURPOSE":
My 1965 story, "Endless Voyage", is about how the world governments, faced with the dire threat of overpopulation, devise a scientific solution: a pill that permits people to breathe underwater. Those who take it can never breathe air again. And so, dispassionately, the human race would be divided in half, and the question of what to do with all the people resolved, by sending half to live beneath the sea, to become a group of strangers to the other half of the human race. All we had was a photograph, with the instruction to write a two-page story. I wrote a 15-page story, which was treated like a thousand pages. "Eleanor Rigby", "Yellow Submarine" and "Paperback Writer" resulted from this story. "Yellow Submarine" was the flipside of the 45 rpm record containing "Eleanor Rigby". Donovan would later describe how these two songs were worked on by Paul McCartney simultaneously. "Eleanor Rigby", which raises the question of what to do with all the lonely people and where they all belong, contains a theme that can be found in the very creation of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". When Lennon felt he had to justify that "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" was not code for LSD, he described the entire song as having originated from a single image, not a photograph, but a drawing that his son Julian made for school. An entire song from a single image.
