In His Own Words: Paul McCartney On The True Origins Of Eleanor Rigby
The New Yorker has published an excerpt from Paul McCartney's upcoming 900-page book The Lyrics, in which he traces the true origin about "Eleanor Rigby." And he claims that famous gravestone really didn't play a part in coming up with the name, but a store sign did.
He also reflects on the incredible series of circumstances that led to the Beatles coming together (no pun intended) in the first place. All in all, even if he's kind of told the story before, it's still a pretty interesting read.

Re: In His Own Words: Paul McCartney On The True Origins Of Eleanor Rigby
The book will be pretty interesting. Even more interesting will be any earlier explanations of the words which contrast what's in the book. Then you can get into a shouting match as to the sources of earlier explanations.
