Paul being hated
I posted a thread about people saying Paul should retire a month or two ago and I remember complaining about Paul saying Paul isn't as good as Lennon etc. I think the reason Paul gets hated is because of his looks,talent and good family life. People also think he write silly Love Songs and is a sell out. Even John called Paul's music crap including Rocky Raccoon and Obladi Oblada. This might be silly but do you think Paul will have as big an impact as John did? I also think some people consider Paul old and outdated and a sissy. What do you think? Will he ever get as respected as John and George? I know John and George are dead that has elevated them but people think even when they were alive they were cool.

RE: Guy saying McCartney and the Stones should retire
100 years old at least to live if not keep performing.

RE: Guy saying McCartney and the Stones should retire
From what I've heard Doris he is around their age. I don't know. I heard he is a fan of theirs but he still wants Paul and MIck to retire. He is probably a baby boomer if he isn't 70 yet. Even Grace Slick said old people rocking and rolling is pathetic. IT is great to see Paul rocking and rolling at 70. It gives us hope an inspiration to get old. I hope I can move around like Paul and Mick when I'm 70.

The Eggman67:
In the tv-doc Wings over America a journalist asks Paul if he isn't to old to perform. He was 33 at that time. Let them talk. I just hope to see a 90-year old Macca live when I'm 70
I agree with you I would love to see a 90 year old Macca. Better yet a 100 year old Macca.

RE: Guy saying McCartney and the Stones should retire
Beealtesfanrandy we finally agree on something. I would love for Paul keep on going until he is in the grave. Boycie I also agree that Paul's vocals aren't as strong as they used to be. In fact I would love for him to be around another 30 years if that is posslble. Beatles$everandEver I don't know whether the guy in the article knows the other Bee Gees are dead or not. I didn't read the artciel I was jsut told about it from a friend of the family. He mentioned the Bees Gees but I'm not sure what the article exactly said other than Paul and the Rolling Stones should retire because they act like teenagers and it is pathetic. If Paul didn't perform people will miss him and when they are dead they will wish they were around,remeber how people wanted a Beatle reunion in the 70s? John himself said he wouldn't do it in the Playboy interview in 1980 because he wasn't in his 20s anymore and that a person wiggling their ass off would be the big joke in the future. Paul didn't think he would be doing this at 71 and Mick himself said he wouldn't be caught dead singing Satisfaction when he was over 40 but they still do and i'm glad they do. Paul isn't a rebel anyway so I don't see how he acts like a teenager.

Hi everybody I was told today that somebody wrote an article in my local newspaper saying that Paul and The Rolling Stones and The Bee Gees and the old rockers should retire since they are 70 years old and they still dance around like teenagers. I said what does that guy know and the person told me he knows because he is a fan and the same age and said that they can't act like teenagers anymore and their audience is disappearing. The guy thinks it is pathetic that hey all still do this stuff at 70. I don;t buy into it,I say what are we supposed to do roll over and get arthritis? I don't buy into that. Obviously this guy thinks that people should stop playing rock n'roll when they get old. I think it is bullocks!
well the same person who say this is probably just an old boring fart anyway,who sits around all day long in a rocking chair wasting away in front of a computer writing rubbish. so who cares what they think anyway.? I am pretty sure that Paul doesn't that's for sure I disagree with this totally I think that Paul and the other musicians who are older should continue to do what they do. life is too short to just sit around and let your talents go to waste. And who the heck says that when you turn over 70 or 200 years old (for that matter) that you should retire from playing music? that to me is just ridiculous. obviously these people who write these things are either misinformed about life in general or they don't have lives of their own and are unhappy with theirs. either way is a bunch of b.s. oh sure Paul and the other older musicians can just put down their guitars and sit home all day watching the telly humming old tunes to themselves in their rocking chairs. oh puh lease give me a ****ing breAK here. : I say this for the record that Paul and THE OTHERS DONT HAVE TO RETIRE OKAY? THEY CAN PLAY MUSIC UNTIL THEY PASS OUT AND DIE ON STAGE. AND THE OTHERS WHO SAY OTHER WISE CAN JUST SHUT THE HECK UP AND GET A LIFE. LEAVE THE MAN ALONE AND LET HIM PLAY HIS DAMN MUSIC AS LONG AS HE WANTS TO.
Well said my friend. Just because you get old doesn't mean you have to give up on life or that it is over. I am the same age as Paul was when Pipes Of Peace came out and just stated taking piano lessons last year and picked up keyboards. I thought i was too old too but that isn't true. I thought Paul was old then but now when I look at the So Bad and Say Say Say videos he looked pretty young. I agree with you that Paul should keep on playing as long as he likes. I'd rather go see him and Mick any day over these gangster rappers or Justin Bieber.

RE: Paul number 1 thrity three years ago today
I have seen him perform Coming Up at Knebworth bCK IN 1990. As for the charts I don't even know what is number 1 in the world anymore since I quit listening to the top 40 in the late 80s or early 90s. Funny thing is that Paul isn't considered cool by alot of heavy metal people and younger people because his music is slow especially when I was growing up. I guess Helter Skelter,Coming Up and ELt ME Roll It puts that myth to shame.

RE: Paul number 1 thrity three years ago today
YankeeFan7 I agree that Paul has done better rockers that weren't as successful. I don't like the studio versionut the live versionof Coming Up better. As for the video I think it is a bit corny but it was nice to see Paul dress up as a heavy metal star. I enjoy the Top 40 from that era because Paul was number 1 but after 1983 it seemed Paul didn't reach number one again which is why I don't like the 1980s much and Paul didn't win a Grammy back then either. Does Paul still perform Coming Up on his recent tours or just back in 1989-90 and 1993/

Paul number 1 thrity three years ago today
I just finished listening to Casey Kasam's American Top 40 from 1980. As it turns out Coming Up was number one for a third week in a row this week in 1980. It made me happy. This live version proves Paul is good live and proves the naysayers who thinks he can't rock to shame.

RE: Is he ignoring the UK
Paul gets criticized alot and then people wonder why he was so petty with switching the songwriting credits from Lennon McCartney to McCartney Lennon? This is why he acts this way. People accuse him of being mellow and then when he played with Nirvana Courtney Love wasn't happy. He gets called a issiy if he is soft but if he tries to rock hard they think he is trying to upstage John and he gets accused of being arrogant. Damned if he does Damned if he doesn't.

RE: Is he ignoring the UK
I say the heck with them if they don't want Paul to play there,no point in wasting time in places you are not wanted,he has better places to play.

RE: who has MET Paul?!!!
Yes we do shrink as we get older. I imagined Paul to be about my height 5'8 1/2.

RE: who has MET Paul?!!!
My second cousin met him when he was working in a recording studio in New York as a sound engineer. Paul was there because James was recording an album. They weren't allowed to ask for autographs or pictures because it would be unprofessional. My second cousin said he positioned himself so he would walk past him and he said Paul was so nice and was quite short. He said Paul made small talk and asked him if he played any instruments and what school he went too. He said James wasn't so nice because he ignored everybody. I said isn't he shy and he said no because of the tone of voice and James slammed the door. Also one of the late Ravi Shankar's students who I talked to who played at the Concert For George(he played sitar during the Arpan) met Paul and said he felt Paul was arrogant. He said Ringo was nice and George was the best of all three Beatles. George was very private too he said. HE said Paul wasn't arrogant to him but he had a feeling Paul was that way.

RE: NEW PAUL & NIRVANA SONG
I'm glad Paul did this song. It may not be a Nirvana reunion but it proves Paul can still rock at 70. As for Courtney's Love's bitching that is all she does cry about everything. Paul gets accused of writing Silly Love Songs and when he tries to rck people complain. I say rock on Paul no matter what people think.
