Paul McCartney made his living as an artist, but he brought a blue-collar approach to The Beatles. That mentality extended beyond the Fab Four, too. Paul once rolled up his sleeves and cheerfully did a bunch of blue-collar jobs for his friend, Peter Asher. Paul said some Beatles songs came from moments of inspiration while others, such as “I Don’t Want to Spoil the Party,” came from grinding out tunes as part of the job. His work helping Asher proved he had no problem grinding away doing physical labor.

Paul McCartney did a series of blue-collar jobs to help Peter Asher launch his business

Paul once said The Beatles were for the working people. The bassist said the stuffy establishment types would never come around to their music. Instead, they penned tunes for the laborers who worked for the buttoned-up people. He proved how closely he identified with that crowd.
