he stopped being good 30 years ago. Last good song was "coming up"

plus he lost me when he queefed it up over obama at the white house.

Holy shiat. Holy shiat.
I remember reading cutesy articles about people singing him that song when he turned 64.

...then 6 years passed in the blink of an eye.

Holy shiat. Not cool.

obligatory "Paul is dead" comment.

In related news, Heather Mills is such a liar, I bet she's got two legs.

28IF

obligatory "you say it's your birthday?" comment.

That picture FTA is a good one. He does not look that good candidly. Pretty sure that's an old pic, or touched up or something. Saw him in person by accident and he looks 70. Not a bad thing, it just is.

if you've never trolled a serious Beatles discussion with things like 'Paul was nearly irrelevant in the band' or my favorite 'The Beatles ruined rock and roll. Had it not been for the horrible end of the 50s where we lost Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, Eddy Cochrane, Carl Perkins, Gene Vincent to death or serious injury and Elvis to the Army, rock and roll could have been something great, not what Eurotrash like the Beatles made it', today might be a good day for it.

Two thumbs up!

/Happy 70th to Roger Ebert, too!

Getting old sucks don't it?

I just realized that my parents are the same age as Paul. Just can't see MY dad on Ed Sullivan though.

He's not The Walrus...

Saw him last July at Yankee Stadium. Fantastic. The best compliment I can give is that the show seemed like it would have been no different if he had been 29 and not 69. 3 hours with no breaks and I didn't even see him drink any water.

Happy Birthday Paul.
Beware of one-legged women.

ob la di, ob la who gives a fark.

I've seen him twice in the last five years. Haters gon' hate, I guess, but the guy still puts on an awesome Rock Show.

JackieRabbit: He's not The Walrus...

Shut the fark up, Donny

Am I the only one waiting for the day the skin on his face finally droops and falls off?

Happy Bday, Sir Paul. We still need you, we'll still feed you. I'm 31 years old, but the Beatles (with an assist from my pops) were the soundtrack to my childhood.

Cheers, mate!

Kuta: Two thumbs up!

/Happy 70th to Roger Ebert, too!

Too bad his jaw bone didn't make it to 70.

Who cares? Lemmy is 79 and he kicks Paul's ass!

Huh. We share a birthday.

/29 today
//buffer zone to 30

For like the last 30 years Paul has ended all the big charity rock concerts by singing Let it Be. Who are we going to get to take his place? What will the big finale be now? We've got to start thinking about this

/Afraid it will be Bono

It'll be Justin Beiber, of course.

Old McFartney.

You know what stumps me? What did Sir Paul ever see in Heather?

That sounds like too much work. "Justin Bieber is better" is usually enough.

Happy Birthday, Sir Billy.

Jeez looks good for 70. Hope I can afford waht he does to stay that young one day.

HansDelbruck: 3 hours with no breaks and I didn't even see him drink any water.

well, no breaks except for the interminable applause breaks between songs. You know. Sir Paul walking from one end of the stage to the other, mugging, the mock shocked expression, pointing as the Hofner bass, winking at the front row, the thumbs up, then the canned jokes he tells between songs.....that 3 hour show could be just 2 hours. just saying.

The Beatles were a lower-quality rip-off of the Monkees.

Nice wig, he must get it from the same place Mick Jagger gets his.

I had the same experience in Nashville, that concert made him my favorite Beatle.

bwilson27: Who cares? Lemmy is 79 and he kicks Paul's ass!



Wiki gives Lemmy's birthdate as 24 December 1945, which makes him 66.

MAYORBOB: You know what stumps me? What did Sir Paul ever see in Heather?

Heather is Paul's stepdaughter, you perv. Maybe you meant Linda?

groppet: Jeez looks good for 70. Hope I can afford waht he does to stay that young one day.

Happy Birthday, Sir Paul!

It's also nice that you never had to postone a tour by claiming you were too tired.

...but what kind of self-respecting rock legend would ever do a thing like that?

Well, to be fair, if the Beatles had the benifit of Neil Diamond write some of their songs, like the Monkees, I could of been a different story.

I was at that show. A high point of my life.

Do we have a picture of Paul McCartney?

I was at one of those shows in Yankee Stadium last year too. He was incredible. Also, I'm 26.

Nice work. In all seriousness, I once dated a girl who said that the only good thing about the Beatles was that they wrote music for her favorite male a capella groups to sing. This is also the same girl who whined that Clapton's Layla went on way too long. It was after I heard her say the latter that I knew our relationship had to end. She was kind of an idiot.
