after the beatles broke up in 1970, mccartney continued his musical career with his first solo release, "mccartney", a us number-one album. apart from some vocal contributions from linda, "mccartney" is a one-man album, with mccartney providing compositions, instrumentation and vocals. in 1971, he collaborated with linda and drummer denny seiwell on a second album, "ram". a uk number one and a us top five, "ram" included the co-written us number-one hit single "uncle albert/admiral halsey". later that year, ex-moody blues guitarist denny laine joined the mccartneys and seiwell to form the band wings. mccartney had this to say on the group's formation: "wings were always a difficult idea ... any group having to follow [the beatles'] success would have a hard job ... i found myself in that very position. however, it was a choice between going on or finishing, and i loved music too much to think of stopping." in september 1971, the mccartneys' daughter stella was born, named in honour of linda's grandmothers, both of whom were named stella.

when lisa, apu, and the mccartneys gather on the kwik-e-mart roof, apu tells lisa, "i learned long ago to tolerate others rather than forcing my beliefs on them. you know, you can influence people without badgering them always. it's like paul's song, 'live and let live'." paul corrects apu and says the song's title is actually "live and let die". in the same scene, apu refers to himself as the "fifth beatle", and linda alludes to a line in the beatles' 1969 song "octopus's garden". the mccartneys later ask lisa if she would like to hear a song, and apu sings part of "sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band", to which the mccartneys snap along.
