QuoteCaptainCorella Can anyone confirm/refute this? Why do I have to patiently explain that we live in exceptional times. The very meaning of "truth" is being challenged. We all need to be careful about what we accept (or reject), even from previously trusted sources. That's shocking, and is a dreadful comment on the times in which we live. But that's what it is

QuoteRockman Let it be .......... I think that the point is that Paul McCartney will NEVER 'let it be'. He's been performing since his mid-teens, and has (arguably) been above averagely successful at it. He's doing what he does, and has the habit & lifetime experience/practice at it, and he clearly loves what he does. He'll be performing for as long as he can
