Post by BruceMelanie Cole is the runaway girl that "She's Leaving Home" was based on. Paul and John read about her in the newspaper.
That's great to know! I assumed the story was a product of Paul's imagination.
Has anyone turned up the newspaper article they read? I love that kind of research.
Paul had actually met Melanie Cole a couple of years earlier.
