Sir Paul McCartney Needs a Reality Check

Sir Paul McCartney Needs a Reality Check

Nothing much is serving as a wake-up call for aging Beatle Sir Paul McCartney and he’s desperately in need of one.

His first wife Linda Eastman lost her life to breast cancer and his next wife lost a leg in an auto accident then took him for millions in their divorce. The guy is now 67 years old, long in the tooth by most standards, and he looks it, yet he still seems to think he’s that cute Beatle who burst onto the music scene almost 50 years ago.

He also seems to think he’s a wit and political raconteur.

Give it up, Paulie, and get over the idea that knighthood conferred by Good Queen Liz means anything other than that you served to supplement Britain’s national treasury; it doesn’t mean you’re a national treasure any more than Mick Jagger or Keith Richards are national treasures.

Fame does not equate with wisdom, Mr. McCartney.

You should not only give it up, Paulie. You should stay home wherever your home is nowadays and not stick your Liverpudlian nose into matters that don’t concern you, are beyond your ken, and especially keep the hell out of American political affairs.
