I believe we have a lot of people trying to rewrite history to shape the view of their own personal egos. That’s why we have so many political prisoners in the world. Leaders and politicians want their countries to appear attractive. Even musicians attempt to rewrite history. Case in point; Paul McCartney.
Looking at ourselves we do the same just on a more personal level. We have our own take on relationships. It may be quite different then the people we call our friends. They may have quite a different view than us. Quite different explanation of events, circumstances and the communication that took place.
Hello Weboflife, let us reread my initial comment before I answer your question because this was your question….
"Case in point; Paul McCartney."
May I know what McCartney has done wrong?
Now that we have reread my comment together and your question, I would like to know if you think McCartney has done wrong because my observation wasn’t that anyone did something wrong. My observation was that we all have quite a different view than others. Including you and I. We also have quite similar views.
So my answer is that this is definitely the case of Paul McCartney as well. The only difference is that his views of what happened between the Beatles being quite different then George’s or or John’s cannot be very well disputed at this point since both his band mates are no longer here to respond. And he continues to make comments that his band mates can no longer reply about. If one of my colleagues or friends had passed to the other side I just think that it would be somewhat inappropriate to comment on their personal lives and what I did with them writing songs for instance when they no longer have a voice in the matter. I do think your question is valid though. I can just say that he (McCartney) has continued to make observations and comments that I’m quite sure George and John would have had quite a different view and opinion of if they were here today to be able to respond.
Some musicians have helped other people tremendously before passing to the other side and have had the finances and kindness to do so, there are many worthy examples of this like for instance George Micheal and Harry Chapin. Others have kept most their fortunes to themselves. This can certainly be said of Paul McCartney, in contrast to for instance George Harrison who donated $2 million dollars to SRF before passing and the way he spent his time promoting meditation instead of his attempting to promote and preserve his name for history. So my final comment about your question is that I believe that history will remember the kindness of George Harrison much longer then the contributions of the music of Paul McCartney. Just my opinion. Yours is just as important.
