McCartney appeared on the local news this morning, talking about his new album, 'New'. He has a house not far away, where last winter, he nearly crashed his helicopter by almost touching the tree tops. He's not a pilot, but it was foggy and his pilot couldn't see the trees!!!!
I've never been a fan of his music or his singing voice. I was put right off him as well when he appeared on another radio station, telling the story of one of his songs. He picked up a bundle and found a few chords, but what I couldn't get, was that he found these chords on it for a song and actually was unable to work out what the chord was!! He was proudly telling everyone about his musical ignorance!!!
He wrote the melodies for Liverpool Oratorio but he had to have a helper to write them down and score it for him. Such musical ignorance after so many years.
So I'm not a fan and this album imo is really poor as well. I think that he was incredibly lucky and is no way the great musician that many think he is. So limited, with a poor singing voice and severely limited playing skills with massive musical ignorance.
Life ain't fair.

I did like that one song of his... that frog thing... we all stand together. Oh... and the song band on the run. Like the Beatles as well. Don't have nor like any of his solo albums though.
Life's a B..., and then you die.

This new album is really poor but the way he described it this morning was a major shift from what he had previously done. However, it's the same old nonsense tbh.
Time for him to retire I reckon.

In order to push the album, he did a busking session at Covent Garden yesterday. Must be desperate to push it!!

Well, he doesn't exactly need it. I think he's past it really and this album just shows his musical weaknesses and just how 'not' new his stuff is.
