The thing is Bob Dylan has it easier in 2013 because although he is often overshadowed by his 1960's music, he was always a SOLO artist! When 99.5% of people think about Paul McCartney these days they think about him as an ex-member of a band thats been defunct for 43 years and has 1/2 of its line-up deceased. Bob Dylan is still the same legendary artist he was in 1965 whereas Paul is the same but he is missing 3/4's of the group of guys who he built his initial legacy with! In that respect a No. 3 placing is very good for an artist of Paul's age with no duet gimmicks or anything like that!

I doubt it keeps Paul up at night that some people don't care for him at the moment. When he dies those same people will be all over him anyway. I'd much rather have one of my two favourite singer/songwriters still releasing music in exchange for being seen as an embarrassing uncle instead of being cool and perhaps liked more but dead for the last 33 years.

I actually think this could be his best album SINCE Tug Of War! It's definitely one of his most consistent solo albums!

Do you think if lucky enough to gain entry it would be wise to ask if he could sign a surname or a shortened one? Just to make my copy feel more unique. Edit: I'd also like to know if you have to supply the CD yourself or if you buy it at the shop, maybe it would be better bringing a copy incase?

Frank Sinatra's first album was a number 1 in 1946 on the billboard chart. 62 years later in 2008 he had a number 2 hit album!
