McCartney Talks About Jackson To David Letterman

Former Beatle Paul McCartney drew huge laughs from the studio audience and his host, David Letterman, last night in New York, while reminiscing about how his relationship somewhat soured with Michael Jackson.
After collaborating together on such early '80s chart-topping hits as "Say Say Say" and "The Girl is Mine," Jackson apparently asked his fab friend for financial advice.
McCartney responded by suggesting that the King Of Pop invest in music publishing, to which Jackson responded that he would indeed...and that he would start by purchasing the rights to the Beatles catalog.
Naturally, Paul thought he was kidding, only to learn later that Michael was quite serious.
The good-humored Beatle said that ultimately he took it in stride--that someone had to buy them, and it might as well have been Michael, though that sentiment wasn't said without a wince.
