Sometimes it's kind of depressing to see Paul get older

The older Paul (and I) get, the more money I am willing to spend on a future concert. Seriously.
Me too.

When Paul goes, for me it will be like when George Harrison left us. Same with Ringo. John is in his own category, given how young he was and how it happened. I wish Paul and Ringo many more years of life, health, and happiness!
Ditto for me!

I don't think Paul's voice has become that rough, especially for 73! Surely his vocals have changed over the years, but look at it as maturity and experience. He had to sing all his life to sound like he does today, and I think it's as beautiful as it has always been.
Well, he smoked and possibly drank too much, which has affected the quality of his vocals, but still sounds great to me albeit at times in a different more mature way. Sounds quite warm and a bit deeper (a bit rougher now and then, which I attribute to smoking too much). Sing away beloved songbird, you still got it, you got lots of chops (not pork chops, obviously, LOL) !! As for when Paul passes away (unthinkable thought), I don't even want to think about it. He has said he thinks he'll live to be 100--from your lips to God's ears, Luv ! It's gonna happen !

At the end of the end....it will be so sad, and so bad to me because Paul was always there all my life !In all the goods and bad moments of my life...i always think that he can´t really die!I didn´t care much for John or George passing but Paul....it would be tragic for me!

A year or so ago, I got into my car & the "talk" station was on. BUT they were playing music. Shocked the heck out of me because it was Bluebird...then Blackbird came on. No one had said anything from the radio station. Unbelievable where my mind went & how fast it was racing with thoughts of Paul's demise. I mean, why else would a talk station be playing McCartney music? Turns out that they were discussing BIRDS. : And birds in songs. OMG...really got me going for a minute.
That would be like Martians landing in Grover's Mill, New Jersey.

That was probably lost in translation.

We could only hope Paul will look and sound as good as Dylan who is a few years older than Paul and still touring.

Paul? I'm depressed enough seeing myself get older, Paul aging is the least of my problems! (But, yes, I know what you mean.)

Dylan's only a year older. And his current voice has been compared (accurately, I'd say) to a death rattle.

Bob Dylan looks like a cross between Vincent Price and Eve Arden...and his voice sounds like absolute shit.

Dylan is fortunate.... his voice always sounded like shite, so that's his only point of comparison.... so nobody (well, me) bats an eyelid that he sounds the same, well, more than a tad worse... as in "c*rap voice" (if not unique)... "still can't sing". "Shite" for me. Now, I think Paul Simon is a great songwriter, but not much of a "versatile" singer... the beauty for him is all these years later, he's singing the same..... "nice", as in never really set a standard that would be judged in 30-40 + years. Voice never suffered 'cos it never really had to stretch to the same extents as others (but Graceland a brilliant album on all fronts, and I respect the man). Of course, this all makes it the harder for those with the brilliant voices that will always be judged on their prime.... Paul M, and had he lived longer, Freddie M.... Oh, and Elvis. But those last two never got the chance. Would love to know how they were doin' though all these years later..... My point.... the Great Voices (Paul front and central in his peak) will always be the ones that suffer in comparison.

What makes it resonate is that if Paul is getting older, WE are too. I was listening to the Beatles at 3 years old, Paul at 12, and now I'm 37. Where did the time go? I'm sure Paul's wondering the same, but he has much better answers to that question than I do.
Similar timing for me too.
