Some of those songs were actually penned by George but placed under Lennon/McCartney.
Thank you Mister Know-It-All.
Who's George Martin?
They always gave outrageous interviews. Huge fun, many chuckles.
*sigh*... Paul, why can't you just let it be, eh?
They gave a LOT of those interviews under the influence of substances (legal and illegal) that don't do much for the ability to formulate rational thought patterns.
Blah, blah, blah. It's all diarreah of the mouth.
Wait. That's a Stevie Wonder song.
At least he didn't say anything all that bad. I thought from the headline he had ripped Bush and Blair a new one. :-) Too bad he is listening to the stupid media however.
misleading headline, frankly, we might want to read what he said rather than that headline before jumping on Sir Paul.
Paul,
I am always curious to know why you haven't done any decent music since your solo album after your band the Beatles broke up.
For years I kept waiting for little tunes that would touch an emotion or brighten a day, and well I got tired of waiting. I couldn't accept the idea that you were washed out, a has-been. Some said you got too rich and you stopped trying, struggling and feeling what most of humanity goes through.
So now you're out there talking about things you really don't know about because you're a celebrity. But ask yourself, do you really believe you're exempt from the ecological fallacy that your celebrity makes you an expert? Do you even know what it means?
Go ahead and snipe to the press. We can all run the tongue with opinions. But you are not accountable are you? Have you ever thought of representing your country's citizens and making tough decisions? I'm sure you haven't. What does that make you? Answer: Lighter then fluff.
Well Paul, nothing personal but it't time to forget you and any of your doings after that wonderful first solo album. There was once the great Paul McCartney who morphed into some sort of idle nothingness. What else can be said? Oh, of course, what John said:
"THE ONLY THING YOU DID WAS YESTERDAY"
"Now it's become very bloody with Iraq, it's very difficult."
Bloody and very difficult....for the terrorists, not for the US.
Why do we give a tinker's damn what a musician has to say.
Just because money talks, doesn't mean we have to listen. Paul may be a knight, but he didn't earn his knighthood by proving himself in battle. My Chihuahua, Brandy, knows more about warfare and survival than a beetle.
Nowhere man.
Actually, how dare anyone take his opinion on this topic seriously enough to publish it.
ah, but he never opens his mouth when iran wars on its own people or on israel via suicide bombers.... selective peace activists.
"Now it's become very bloody with Iraq."
Here's a little perspective, Paul.
It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51 day operation.
We've been looking for WMD's in Iraq for less time than it took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm records.
It took less time for the 3RD Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Teddy Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick.
It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida.
So by all means Paul, SHUT THE HELL UP!!!
Granted, but what are you gonna do? It's the nature of the beast.
I am going to watch them need, threaten more, and need more, and threaten more and outspend themselves and need more, until they rot bad enough and I grow strong enough to overcome them.
No big deal. This doesn't sound like he is coming out against it. He's just saying it's difficult and things would have been better if the UN had been organized in it.
