When:
Short story:
Today's edition of Time magazine includes a feature about Pablo Picasso, which mentions that on the last night of his life he said to his friends, 'Drink to me, drink to my health, you know I can't drink anymore." He then went off to bed and died in his sleep. When, during dinner at McCartney's house in Montego Bay, Jamaica, actor Dustin Hoffman shows this feature to Paul McCartney and asks if he could write a song based on it, McCartney composes Picasso's Last Words (Drink To Me), which will appear on the LP Band On The Run.
