Honeymoon was an amazing album that I couldn't stop listening to (even now). But Lust for Life just isn't hitting me that way. Summer Bummer is a such a dumb song, and the Coachella song, too. I like about half of the songs on this album. And Lana's predictable fawning over "John and Yoko" was cringeworthy. Ugh, I'm…

He wasn't dissing Wings. When you read the full interview, he's only referring to the first year or so of Wings when he said "we were terrible." But of course that line got exaggerated in various headlines. In the full interview he makes clear that he thinks Wings got better and better after a shaky start and released…

Thanks for this. I've seen Paul twice in the last 8 years (we're on a first-name basis) and what you've described here was my experience both times. Utter joy across the audience. I know this is going to sound corny but WTF, it's McCartney, so it's allowed: We live in such stressful, angry, ugly times that seeing Paul…

It's not "John's line" at all. He never said it. A comedian in the 80s said it and it's been falsely attributed to John for decades because people seem to like it when Lennon said vicious things, as if being vicious is somehow "honest" rather than just vicious. But the point is: John didn't ever say that about Ringo…

I would put Electric Arguments on the list of good-to-great Post-90s albums by Paul.

Of course: I can't stand Ebony & Ivory. I don't bother listening to most of his mushy 80s albums and early 90s albums. He went through a decade-long dry spell from about 1980 until he worked with Elvis Costello, and then again until about 1997. Strangely, after his wife died of cancer, his albums got good again. And…

If you mean "lamé," then yes, I agree: I do envision Honey Pie dancing around in some gold lamé gown. :)

Sorry, I don't find it grating at all. I find it funny. It's a parody and it works (for me). There is too little opportunity to laugh in music. And Paul likes to bring the fun/funny (Rocky Raccoon), as much as he likes to bring the sadness (For No One).

What? Honey Pie is great. I like all of McCartney's jazz-hands songs — and I like that he so openly loved his Dad's generation of music and didn't just sneer at it the way some of his peers did. On Honey Pie, Paul is so obviously giving it his all, and enjoying the moment, his enthusiasm is hilarious. I don't see why…

Why on EARTH would you want to get rid of Martha My Dear? stomps off in a huff

Smile and Pepper would probably have been a better comparison than Pepper and Pet Sounds.

"Pet Sounds is a lovely, impressively rendered, but mostly dull listen." YES. I was listening to Pet Sounds on the Pennsylvania Turnpike and nearly fell asleep at the wheel. I still like the album but it's definitely a dull listen. That said, I love several of the songs on it: I Guess I Just Wasn't Made for These…

Well it wasn't exactly a private moment since he and wife posted it on Instagram. They love feeding photos of themselves to the Daily Fail. But yes, I get your point.

Nope. The producer is Bruce Sugar.

So making ignorant comments about the Beatles and the order in which they died makes you mature? I think I prefer immaturity, thanks. P.S. Here's what I can add: George Martin said the best musician he'd ever worked with was Paul McCartney. Period. Oh, I'm sorry. Did I add a fact that shattered your narrow little…

Stupid comment.

Dear Isis: Piss off. Love, Paul

Do you work for Sony or something?? No I'm not tired of this or I wouldn't have clicked on the story. And no, I'm not going to side with a greedy record company over an artist exercising his right under US law to his own fucking songs.

Agreed. Except of course then we have to live with the result.

All I know is I'm completely exhausted already by the ugliness of this presidential election, and I'm going to see this movie tonight because I need to feel good about something. I'm glad to hear it will do the job nicely.
