No doubt that Paul has an amazing memory, above ordinary but I would put it at freakish level. There's quite a few people who remember events, people and music really well. Anybody whose a frequent writer would def report similar recalled names and events leaking from their subconscious into their work. Probably happens to all of us at some point. Another issue is that there's an obviously selection bias. The article only picks up the amazing stuff (rightly so). If my friends went through my life and listed all the amazing genius moments I've remembered something obscure, you'd thing I'm a genius too. But what you wouldn't get is the 1000s of times I've forgotten stuff. I'm not attacking the editor. They are doing what they are paid to do, and the article was fun to read, but bias is just something readers should be aware about.
