The ritual entered Paul's brain after meeting Bob
Dylan for the first time (Dylan being the one who got
the Beatles turned onto drugs)...Paul tried to wack
Dylan in that motorcycle accident that took him out of
the game for a while, but after recuperating and
having The Hawks change their name to THE BAND, he's
been engaged in a secrete war against the rogue Beatle
for years...
