Paul is among my all-time faves, as well--- well above the other
Beatles, in my view.
It seems this discussion pops up on Audities every time new Paul music
is released. Most agree that he's among the greatest songwriters of the
last hundred years, if not more. Many believe his best days are behind
him. But like you, Marty, I look forward to those flashes of brilliance
because they hit a special place in my soul.
It's unrealistic to think anyone working in the "popular" music business
could sustain a career for more than 40 years, but that's essentially
what the "Paul is Passé" posters are saying. I'd rather enjoy the stuff
that really hits me the right way and know that diminishing reward is
still worth the price of admission.
