I like Paul McCartney. He was in a really good band called The Beatles. He wrote some really good songs with his writing partner John Lennon. He mad a pretty cool solo album called "Ram". After that, there were a whole bunch of other things going on and I became interested in other stuff.
  It's nice to hear that he's still making music and has a lot of coffee stores, although I don't think his coffee is anywhere near as good as his music, especially the music he made with John Lennon, who was tragically killed by some guy 27 years ago.
  It's nice to see so many people posting over and over and over about Paul McCartney. and going on and on and on about him. It's almost like he died or something.

The thing is, it rankles me a little when the recording artist
says "record labels are dying, their ideas are boring, etc."
and "I decided to go a different way," when, in fact, as in 
McCartney's situation, he's going about it the SAME EXACT
way, working with a label that is just selling the CDs the same
way as ever, but managing to make it seem like he's doing
something different. And all he really did was go for a deal
that earned him more money up front -- and of course he's
not saying that, but that's essentially the only difference. 

To me, it's a little bit dishonest to run down major label 
record companies, (and hey, I'm sensitive because I work 
at one) and then turn around and do a deal where you end
up getting your album released by a major label record
company.

But that's it from me on the subject. Let's go back to talking
about whatever it is we're usually talking about on this list...
