JAMES McCARTNEY
-
What's going on with him???
-
Meaning he's doing something weird that's getting attention or he's doing nothing getting attention and you want to know what he's up to?

The latter. Seems to have fallen right off the radar.

Well, according to his Facebook page he was playing in Chicago in December, so maybe he's taken a bit of time off in the new year.

Too bad he's not using that time to get in shape!

Yup!

He's about 40-50 pounds overweight.

I played disc one of "The Art of McCartney" today and James McCartney is featured on "Hello Goodbye" by The Cure.

Being the only son of the most famous musician in the world can't be easy.

Exactly!

He has some good songs. I wish they had pushed one of his original songs instead of the Neil Young cover on that first EP.

Actually I think James, as a musician, has had it very very easy in many ways. Look at the connections he has. Look at the opportunities, the people he's met. He's been able to live his whole life without having to get a real job or worry about money. Most artists are not so lucky.

I thought there was some period many years ago where James was kind of wandering around doing odd jobs in another country, because Paul insisted on not showering him with money. This sheds a bit of light, but not much (and consider the source): http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/10123380/Paul-McCartneys-son-speaks-of-drugs-family-rifts-and-his-new-mother.html

Just the name McCartney will open many doors most musicians will never have access to. I think the kids are all multi-millionaires from the their mom left them. On the other hand, he may never get a fair shake, being compared to his dad all the time. A curse and a blessing.

I believe he has had real jobs earlier. Wasn't he working in a pub or as a waiter?

That has nothing to do with caleries. Butter? Ice cream?

That's what I remember hearing, something like that.

Whatever odd jobs James worked, he never HAD to work them to make ends meet. Just like Stella admits that, while she has taken a lot of risks in her fashion business, she's acknowledged that it's a heck of a lot easier to take those risks when you know that you're not going to lose everything if you fail. You're not going to be homeless or bankrupt. Dad will be there to catch you if/when you fall.
