So, I'm an @sshole because I consider it reckless for a person who's a singer, by trade, to spend 50 years of his life damaging his voice smoking pot?
The word you're looking for is not "@sshole"; it's "intelligent".
Room for one more, honey. -

What's the big deal about knighthoods? A conservative premier of the Australian state I live in was selling them for 60 grand each back in the 1970s. A bank clerk before going into politics he died a millionaire.

I agree about the 2012 olympics, I didn't see the Diamond Jubilee though. His voice sounds so strained from what it was. There is a clear time when a musician should give up music, Paul has passed that time and no longer has anyone with the balls to tell him "Look, man, you need to give up." because who tells a Beatle that they're beep
I also hate his song choice for London. Hey Jude was ALL he could think of? Penny Lane doesn't exist to him anymore? Helter Skelter(my favourite Beatles song)? She Loves You? Well I suppose if he's only going for Hey Jude instead of a real classic than we should be greatful he's not butchering that.

Paul McCartney, although his performance is bad in my opnion, it isn't anywhere near as bad as Meatloaf. That lead singer is awful in his old age, 5b4but then again that is my opinion (and a lot of other peoples).
And Paul isn't as bad as some of these recent pop stars like Rebecca Black.

This being my first post on this thread, I have to get back to lazyboyz contention that Mccartney is not a great singer.
I have the utmost respect for Sinatra, Martin, Bennett, Presley, and the like, but it is astonishing to me that you cannot see the brilliance of Paul Mccartney's voice. Among his myriad of vocal inflections, he was a crooner, a screamer, a rock and roller, a balladist, a pop singer he originated 100 vocal styles, and perfectly payed homage to and extended 1000 more.
And not only his work as a lead singer, but how about the backup vocals he's done with the Beatles?
On and on. Saying Mccartney is not an absolutely amazing singer is like saying Einstein is a hack wanna be compared to Newton. -

Agreed. Lazyboy's assertions are just plai238n laughable.
Paul had an absolutely beautiful quality to his voice, the timbre was gorgeous. He could do it all. Anyone who's listened to the different kinds of songs he's sung live over the years knows thatunless they really
don't
have an ear for music
He was extraordinary belting out things like Kansas City and Long Tall Sally - AND he was always on pitch, and then he'd do beautiful soulful tunes like Til There Was You, not to mention the often complex harmonies he did with the other boys.

Wasn't the greatest of performances but then again the other artists struggled as well. There is a reason why television broadcasters loathe covering live music. The sound quality and performances just aren't up to scratch for most artists.
