I've always wondered this

From PaulMcCartney.com, Paul answers a question I've always wanted to ask him about the song "Here Today" which he wrote right after he heard John died...

“In the song ‘Here Today’ you say, ‘What about the night we cried’. Can you tell us anymore about that story?”

“Thanks for your question, Kate. Well we were in Key West with The Beatles and we had been diverted there because there was a hurricane at Jacksonville, where we were supposed to play. So we had to take a couple of days off while the hurricane passed. We ended up in Key West, which at that time was sort of like the ends of the earth! I understand now it’s all very built up and it’s a bit like Miami. But back then, there were just a couple of huts there – and we were in one of them! We had a drunken night where we sang and talked and cried, at one point. All four of us.”

He recently played it for Jimmy Fallon...
