Paul McCartney said George Harrison was jolted by a milk float battery during a teenage hitchhiking trip to Wales, after sitting atop the battery in the slow electric delivery vehicle.
A zipper on Harrison’s back pocket touched the battery, McCartney said, making him jump up and leaving what looked like a large zip-shaped mark on his backside.
The 83-year-old musician shared the story on "The Rest Is History" podcast and said the trip later inspired part of a song on his upcoming album "The Boys of Dungeon Lane."
McCartney said Olivia Harrison remembered the incident differently and thought he had been shocked instead, using the mix-up to reflect on how memories can change over time.
Harrison, the Beatles guitarist who died in 2001 at 58, is part of a wave of recollections McCartney has been sharing ahead of the album’s May 29 release.
