I Suppose I Could Care About Paul McCartney...

...but I don't.

And by this I mean care about any of McCartney's post-Beatle work. Among certain rock snobs, of course, McCartney's status as a pop tunesmith means certain of his records require respectful consideration. But while I respect the talent, I can't put myself in McCarney's audience.



This is good; this is well-crafted. But I don't care about it. It doesn't move anything in me. I can nod my head at it, but if I never heard it again, I wouldn't feel the poorer for it.

I don't know if that's my deficit or Paul McCartney's, but there it is.
