Hi everyone,
I think part of the problem is that high standard which are holding
McCartney to. We want him to come up with something classic that will be
really great and I don't know if that's fair.
Having said that, why are most of the older rock and pop musicians not able
to make the best music of their lives the way a lot of the great classical
music composers were able to? You would think one would only improve over
time and get better with age. Is the fame and money too much of a
distraction?
I just read the other day that Paul McCartney turned 65 years old on June 18
and Brian Wilson turned 65 on June 20. I didn't know those two were born two
days apart!
