Why was Paul McCartney a jerk?

Answer 1

Paul McCartney was not a jerk, and although I agree he can be bossy, he had to be. Everyone perceives him as a jerk, when someone had to take charge of the band, and that was Paul. Paul isn't my favorite Beatle but he really is a great guy and in my opinion, knowing a lot about The Beatles, they wouldn't have lasted as long as they did without him. :) After all, many things The Beatles did, including the Sgt. Pepper album, was Paul McCartney's idea.

You can see some of Paul's character through the Beatles' movies.
