I think McCartney is polarizing; you are a sucker for his schtick, or you
aint. Personally I am. I don't think he ever jumped the shark, although he
has put out some lame stuff over the years. But even his latest, Driving
Rain, is on the near side of the shark (its better if you burn your own copy
and replace "Freedom" at the end with "Vanilla Sky" though, the former being
an example of said lameness.)
