ri Alban Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Tomorrow marks the 80th Birthday of one of the world's greatest composers. The Great Paul McCartney.  Yes I know it's tomorrow, but I think this man should have a long weekend dedicated to him. A living legend and improved the life of so many across the world. 🥳.  Happy Birthday when it comes, big man.  Here's a tune you might know.   Edited June 17, 2022 by ri Alban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not "Woman" James, I reach for a sick bag if I hear that on the radio. That whole last album, Double Fantasy was truly awful, it became massively hyped because it was his "comeback" record, and also happened to be released just before he was murdered. That was some promotional stunt by the way.* But it's a pretty poor record.  *Sorry, pretty crass attempt at humour.

Why pick an obviously pish PMc joke song and try compare it to Lennon’s good stuff?  PMc was the real driving force behind the Beatles. That’s not even up for debate.

SwindonJambo Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Didn't see Macca live until 2015 and I was absolutely kicking myself that I hadn't after my 1st show. I've since seen him live 7 more times, including this show in Krakow in 2018 when I was lucky enough to be front row with a great Polish audience behind me. Love old Macca. His voice is getting rough but the show and his band are excellent. Definitely the best musician in the Beatles by a country mile. For those unaware, this track, which even Lennon admitted was a belter is an ode to pot, not about any woman 😉   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He headlined in 2004. I think most of that generation will keep going until they fall over. Macca's voice is certainly fading, but his instrumental ability is still there. The Stones are playing Hyde Park the same night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecN Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Most of his generation are getting wheeled out at Glastonbury for the Sunday graveyard shift.  Good on him to be able to still be the main headliner.   Hey Jude is surely by now a club anthem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
