Seriously! Leo Sayer, he was great on 'The Muppets' and all, but really!

MaccaBeatles:
I can picture Paul turning into George Burns still singing yesterday when he's 95!
ehhhh...not something I'd like to even think about.

But he's still a top-of-his-game overall musician. Retire? No way.
Not completely. As much as I'd LOVE to see him live again I wouldn't blame him if he stopped. I'd like him to get in the studio now and make that sweeeeet music we all love

I'm sure you'll complain about that too when it's released

I told you, the Telegraph commenters are ALWAYS awful. And not just about Paul. They are routinely vicious. They are kind of like the commenters on the Fox News site -- a lot of right-wing nut jobs who don't like Paul for his liberal views. I mean that one guy who called Paul a "prick" turns out he was mad about Paul's opposition to killing seals in Canada. That tells you all you need to know! Actually I think there are a lot of very positive comments on the thread. Go there and support them!! Hit "recommend" on the good comments.
I've recommended a few, would be good if few of us could respond on there. There is a guy on Paul's youtube videos who spouts the nastiest stuff, I wonder if it's the guy calling Paul a 'prick'!!
I don't usually bother reading the comments, whats the guys name?
He's awful really nasty, Stompo I think he calls himself. I think he's into all that Faul stuff as well. Used to be on the Dance Tonight vid, though he might have been deleted off now. Shudders..
If he's into the Faul stuff, that would explain it. They spew all over any Paul video in any way they can.
-
the telegraph article is Paul at his best with the funny stuff but the comments are now closed. Not surprised there.

Just watched the Olympic set again. Twice. Except for the beginning, it's one of Paul's best vocals of the past year. I loved it. Tired of the song, though. With all due respect.

I shudder to think of how many times I've heard Hey Jude in 44 years! When it first came out, they played it on the radio at least once an hour (for about 3 months!)

unfortunately you may well be correct....sorry to say that,but i mean it. however you listen to 'hey jude' the original recording[1968] and it is always impossible to get tired of that wonderful sweet vocal fused with most fantastic original melody....light years away from the cruise liner cabaret version paul has been trotting out the past decade and a bit.

And those eyes!!!!!!

Who wants to start a betting pool on how long this thread stays up? Or maybe third times the charm?
-
I want Paul to tour for at least a few more years just so I can see him a few more times, selfish reasoning I know but even though his voice is a shadow of it's former self i'm not prepared to stop hearing it live yet. However I want him to be making new studio albums up until he's 100 years old! (I mean that!)

at his current rate you would not get as many as you think!

Paul looked like he was having an absolute blast at the Olympics, saw a brief clip of him on stage there. Why tell him he can't have that kind of fun anymore, it's absurd. If you had great fun at something and were told to desist, how would you react? You'd tell them to p----s off (A lot of people would)

how would i react??.. 'accepting the truth, like surgery, may hurt, but it cures.'
-
Susy, the clips and photos of him at the Olympics are great. Paul and his family are truly enjoying the experience. Life should be about joy and it seems Paul gets that.
-
People are simply airing their concerns over paul's exposure to global audiences. What I don't want to see, is my hero, falter through a song to a global audience which just adds fuel to the fire of all the macca haters here in the UK.

This might have been said somewhere in the twenty-one pages but, like the great Nick Lowe said, "cruel to be kind, in the right measure" There is a difference between criticizing and dissing. I haven't seen any dissing from members on here. I have only seen members expressing their concern with Paul's voice, hardly dissing. If you love someone you tell them the truth, you don't hurt them when you say it, but you tell them like it is.
I posted something eerily similar in one of the (many) locked threads recently: "If you truly love someone, you're honest with that person. Paul doesn't need people telling him he's wonderful. He's gotten that for years now. Decades. What he needs is people who truly care about him telling him what they think. He doesn't have to agree with it, but anyone not telling him what they feel is the truth doesn't truly love him at all." Glad a few of us are thinking along the same lines.
