An incredible, frustrated, and candid look at the legal hurdles of a rock legend! In this November 1975 interview, Paul McCartney discusses the shocking cancellation of his Japanese tour while sitting in Melbourne, Australia.

Despite having the visas already stamped in his passport, Paul reveals that the Japanese Minister of Justice personally stepped in to block his entry due to a past marijuana charge. Paul mocks the situation, noting that even the US government had decided he was a "good boy now," but Japan wouldn't budge. His dry closing remark—"He's no friend of mine"—perfectly captures his annoyance at the "totally ridiculous" situation that left thousands of Japanese fans heartbroken.

Do you think it was fair to cancel a whole tour over a minor past mistake? Tell us! ????
