He joined Neil Young onstage in Hyde Park last week for the chorus of Day In The Life. I still feel overwhelmed by their combined aura a week later.
I really don't get people's problem with Macca. Fair enough if you don't like The Beatles - I mean, you're wrong, deaf and stupid, but that's your call - but how can anyone here be bothered by what he's done since?
Your mates don't play him, your favourite bars and clubs don't play him, those shite tracks with Wacko and Stevie were over 20 years ago and if he does happen to be playing some festival you've gone to, chances are it was a hits collection with a 80:20 Beatles:solo ratio.
So what's left not to like? i'll take his thumbs up and dressing down(ish) over Jagger's Tory-aristo shtick and for someone who's experienced the murder of one bandmate and attempted murder of another, he seems incredibly well adjusted. All that''s left is a bolke whiling away his active years with not-as-good versions of what he's always loved.
Edit:
he was in The Beatles. what have you done?
Ha ha, a more concise and insightful version of my rambling above.
