Paul McCartney says politics disappear when audience sings ‘Hey Jude’ together

Paul McCartney is proud of the impact his music has on people.

During an appearance on the latest episode of “The Rest Is Entertainment” podcast, the Beatles legend, 83, reflected on the “valuable” way classic songs like “Hey Jude” can bring people with different political views together.

“Especially these days, you do something like ‘Hey Jude’ and you see this whole audience singing together,” McCartney said of performing the iconic Beatles song at a recent concert in Los Angeles. “I mean, in Trump’s America, and the Republicans and the Democrats are at loggerheads – when we sing this song, they’re not. They all love it, and it’s like, ‘Wow, that’s pretty amazing.'”

“You know, all of a sudden this room forgot all that, and you know, they’re not going to argue, they’re just going to sing together,” he added. “So those kinds of things, I think, are valuable.”

“We can disagree. We can criticize those in power and we can peacefully fight for our beliefs. But there is no place, in any form, for political violence of any kind in our beloved United States,” he added.

Springsteen, who kicked off his “Land of Hope and Dreams” U.S. tour in March, has expressed disdain for Trump and his administration over the years. The tour follows the release of his latest song, “Streets of Minneapolis,” a protest track that criticizes Trump and his administration’s deployment of thousands of federal agents to crack down on illegal immigration in Minnesota.

At a recent show in Newark, New Jersey, Springsteen called on his audience to “choose hope over fear, democracy over authoritarianism, rule of law over anarchy, ethics over rampant corruption, resistance over complacency, truth over lies, unity over division, and peace over war.”
