    Thanks. I guess 60 years in the rock music biz takes its toll... :sigh:

    I recall reading a study about a dozen years ago by some respected eggheads that showed most people permanently lose much of their ability to hear treble/high end after age 38 or so. I've noticed it since my early Forties or so. Pushing....EQ....knob.....higher...

    I'm 65 and my hearing is absolutely not what it was when I was young. Not ready for a hearing aid yet, but I can imagine the day coming.

    Looks like Paul will have that beard all full and ready to go when the Get Back film premieres in late November.

    That Paul. Always cross-promoting things... ;)

    Thanks for posting this.
    I read the article and I wonder if in the book will he be so in depth and lengthy?
    If so great, Nov 2 is just around the corner.

    No, he didn’t perform. I think only Springsteen and the Jonas Brothers did.

    "McCartney walked out to reminisce about his love affair with New York City.

    “I love New York,” he said. “Many years ago, when I was a little kid in Liverpool, we saw New York in the movies. I never dreamed that I would be here getting an award like this from you fantastic people. But then years later, we did show up at JFK with my buddies, the Beatles. We went on The Ed Sullivan Show and, boy, that was something. … It is fantastic that Robin Hood helps people in need. In fact, the other day we were going through the city and this guy comes up. He’s got no shoes on, he’s got grey hair, a scraggly beard. I said hi to him. I found out later it was Rick Rubin.” (The very scattered laughter in the audience seemed to suggest that few people got the joke.)"

    That’s unfortunately what I’m doing now due to health problems though I’m 15 years younger than he is.

    I read that somewhere and before he started wearing one, someone wrote he was deaf as a pole.

    That was a great read... I wonder if this is an extract from the book itself, or if this is a completely separate interview/article?

    If I will make it towards 80 I will be happy if I am still able to listen to music, type, hold a mouse, read and use a microphone.
    As a teen when in hospital I had my double cassette recorder with me and was creating cassette radio shows as soon as I could half sit again. I was lucky to be alone in the room. And I am sure I also talked about and played some McCartney. Today I use a computer for that, and that is what I want to continue doing.
    Wear the stains with proud ignorance and make the best of it.

    All the best, @joy stinson

    As you would expect, some songs have rather short stories while others go over several pages. Take the newly found song “Tell Me Who He Is”, while not really strongly remembering the song, he still manages 5 paragraphs in talking about it. But I think that forum members will like these books

    I love New as an album, but the last song Paul McCartney did that is identifiable as a golden era McCartney-style recording is Friends to Go. Structure, melody, arrangement...it is the complete classic McCartney style. Would have fit on any album 1970 and forward. Prove me wrong.
