There could be a gray-area, but this forum seems to have the two extremes. I'm a proud member of the first camp.

As I've observed in my Elvis fan-groups, there are two types of McCartney fans: -Those who hold him to the very artistic standard that the man himself established -Ass-kissing sycophants
And those in between. ;-D Seriously, though, those of us who post on message boards and other social media are just a microcosm of fans in general. In truth, we run the gamut. parlance

I have kissed his (j)azz (album). Excuse me while I kiss the sky, sang Jimi Hendrix.

There's a group that criticizes Paul's choices and then another group who seem personally offended and angry - that's the group I don't get.

Offended and angry... ...more like slighted and disappointed.

McCartney is so whimsical with his muscial directions. The good thing in the long run is that the results one likes have a tendency to make up for those you don't like.

Paul McCartney is probably the greatest entertainer alive today. Typing up his resume would take all day. Since he's been doing his thing longer than a lot of us have been alive, he's going to have fans from practically every generation of the last century - and now this century. His oldest fans were born before LPs existed. His youngest fans were born in the age of digital downloads. He has fans all over the world. We come in all shapes, sizes, races, religions, mental acuities, social handicaps and rational deviance. I've been told that even people who read books are welcome here. You can't have such a diverse fan base without having fans that are going to disagree with each other over pretty much everything. Maybe everyone at the Andrew Ridgeley message board is going to agree on Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, but nothing Paul ever does is going to be heralded by all of his fans. Some are too stuck in the past to think anything will ever compare with The Beatles or Band on the Run or wherever their preference lies. Some will only see his work through rainbow glasses, with everything he sneezes becoming an artistic masterpiece. Most are probably somewhere in the middle. And you know what? Not to sound like Stuart Smalley, but that's ok. Paul has never demanded that all of his fans share the same opinions on every subject. I don't think he'd be Paul if he did. When it comes to censoring people on the internet, this site is pretty lenient. Paul McCartney and his bands have changed the world in more ways than any artist alive today that I can think of. His music tears into our hearts and helps us see the world with more optimism and love than any beer commercial during the Super Bowl could ever imagine. The world may or may not be falling apart, and all the pain and suffering in your life might be more than you think you can handle, but no matter what's going on around us, every single one of us can play whatever period Paul music we prefer and feel better about life. As Voltaire once said, "I may not agree with your choice of Paul setlists, but I'll defend to the death your right to hear it." I might be paraphrasing. Paul's good enough, he's smart enough, and doggone it, people like him.
I guess you meant 33 1/3 LPs? (invented in 194 http://lprecord.umwblogs.org/history/invention/ Of course prior to that were the 78s (had to throw a boatload of them away when I cleaned out my Dad's house in Ohio) P.S. I loved your post Hailey!

Totally agreed. Another reason I think it's great he keeps challenging himself. parlance
