He’s a great player but he’s not exactly cranking out fresh new material.

He was up until very recently. He's still doing great shows an touring. He's organized 3 Crossroads Guitar Festivals. He's exploring new material. He's done some great shows with Jeff Beck. He's working with other musicians all the time.

And as for Beck, the guy is playing like a 25 year old and still producing good music and experimenting as always.

Yes Clapton isn't at the height of his creativity. But he and Beck and a few others are still out there producing great music. Contrast that with the junk that McCartney is doing. He's not even doing a good job on the old stuff. His concerts are a joke. It's embarrassing to watch the last few concerts (on PBS) that he's done. Yet, I cannot wait for the next Crossroads Concert. I will have to watch the DVD as I won't be able to attend. No, even when are past your glory years you can still be great as Clapton and Beck are. McCartney not so.

McCartney does sicken me. I think recently he said he couldn’t remember how to play more than a dozen Beatles tunes. For f*ck’s sake, you can’t remember the BASSLINES? Sad.

Oddly enough, the last time Macca wrote a good tune was the same time Costello wrote a good tune.
