Happy belated birthday Sir Paul McCartney. Born June 18, 1942, Paul is now 66 years old and still rockin’. McCartney and Ringo Star are the only half of the ultimate group still alive. George Harrison passed away back in 2001. Both Ringo and Paul still tour and release their own music. McCartney’s latest album, Memory Almost Full, was released last year. It was nominated for 3 Grammys and has gone platinum. If you’ve never really looked into his solo stuff, definitely check it out. It’s actually really good.
My favorite Beatles song at the moment: “Im Down”. The song was a B-side on the single “Help!” in 1965. Many critics have called it “the groups grittiest song in the whole catalogue” - some saying it is a rewrite of Little Richard’s “Long Tall Sally”. You be the judge. There’s some great video footage here from tours in the 60’s.
Beatles are it. Do you hear that organ?

Remember when they all thought 64 was old?
