Paul should have stayed with Mary Jane Asher, the 60's Princess Kate.

“They don’t call me “P.C. Paul” for nothing. Quite right!”
I know I’m an old white guy but please don’t kill me.
Even after Beatlemania and the incarnations following that, Paul remains an attention-seeker. It’s still not enough.
he didn’t write this song for black rights. what a load of concocted well after the fact crapola.
He has never said he hated her - quite the opposite.
Whose ‘civil rights’?
What a load of crap from McCarthy.
That song is over fifty years old and I didn't know it was about civil rights. Ever.
It was garbage in 1968...and I’ll bet the new version is garbage today.
GFY Paul.
A cover...well fine and dandy.
Her “country” music is atrocious and she’s quite the potty mouth in it.
I’ll never forget the disgust I felt when the Beatles were honored decades ago for their lifetime accomplishments and Paul used the occasion to rail about the supposed hole in the ozone layer.

“A song called “Blackbird,” he believed, was really referring to black militants when it said: “Blackbird singing in the dead of night/ Take these broken wings and learn to fly/All your life/ You were only waiting for this moment to arrive.”
Who really gives a flying f*ck ?
Paul II, always the giddy PR advocate. The real Paul McCartney of the Beatles died in 1966 and was secretly replaced by the doppleganger Billy Shears.
