I think not. Vegetarians are quiet, forgiving people, quite unlike your average bassplayer.

That's a bit prejudiced, isn't it?

As Ms Mills once remarked early on in her matrimony to the Fab One.

Beginning of the end, y'know.

In favour of veggies, yes.

I mean, what do you want me to say - that - like bass players - they're all raging nutters who pick up a grudge like there was a tenner tied to it? That they fastidiously pick the bones out of someone else's transgression until one of them says "Oooh, look, it's disappeared completely. What are we going to do now?". That they lack the minutest sense of proportion?

I could say that, if you like, but it wouldn't be true. There's only ever been one bad veggie and that was Hitler. The rest are all lovely.

Just shows how ignorant people are towards music - Peoples brains just get filled with the sh*t from X factor and Britains got talent and just think the people who 'sing' on the shows are everything and filled with talent. I think it's pretty disgusting that Macca isn't known considering what he has accomplished as a musician. Ok you may not like him but at least know who the f*** he is!

'Smooth' doesn't even begin to describe it. Lustrous, pearlescent and friction-free. It's like a big, beautiful graphite stringsaver of avatars. only globular.

What about these irate Macca fans, eh? I shall have to deploy The Baddest Word Of All.

[leftybassman392]

Actually we were going to invite him to the Lefty Bass Bash, but decided in the end that we didn't want any washed up hasbeens at our do. My missus is going to man the door just in case he tries to gatecrash. She'll recognise the f***er allright!

I can just about watch him live...but that is courtesy of a decent band and a great back catalogue.
I can fully understand kids of today not knowing or wanting know anything about him though, but
sooner or later, if you are relatively serious about music, you will come across his stuff.
Personally, I thought it was the Beatles and all downhill from there, but who cares..?
Obviously, not many younger kids..they have their own heroes, for good or bad.

We have this kind of debate every year.. and I don't see why he MUST be relevant.
He either is or he isn't to certain people

[Musky]

There's more than a hint of an internet meme going on from what I can see. Lots of people all repeating "who tf is Paul McCartney". Because it's clearly hilarious. Lolz.

See also: "Buttscratcher" at festivals. Or "Wally" for us older types.

[wombatboter]

It happens to all of them.. I was recently talking about James Taylor and a bit later about The Pretenders...no one had ever heard of them.
I used to date a girl who was twenty years younger than me and we were talking about music and I said" If I'm not mistaken "Nothing compares to U" was actually a sort of B-side of a Prince-song" to which she replied "What's a b-side ?"

[ojplaysbass]

i'm sorry i opened this can of worms.... i don't even like the guy lol

[uncle psychosis]

He was the lead singer of Wings. Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Honestly, some people just don't know anything, do they?

[MacDaddy]

I remember back in the 80's when Harrison was in the hit parade with the 45 of 'i've got my mind set on you'.

He garnered quite a few votes in the Smash Hits best newcomer poll.

Not according to QI. The veggie part, not the bad part.

[dave_bass5]

After hearing a few tracks of his new album im also wondering who this guy is

[MB1]

People who are irrelevant showing their ignorance ...

Strangely? Mr Mccartney has been asking "Who the fu*k is Seth Horan?" and rightly so, me thinks!

It's not necessary for people to 'know' someone for them to be relevant to their lives.

How many kids today have heard of Tim Berners-Lee or Jonathan Ive, yet it's a fairly safe bet that they've both had a big impact on their lives.

I suppose it's possible that some kids have absolutely no interest in popular music, but if they do then Macca has played a big part - whether they know about it or not.
